"No Wonder I Was Gaining Weight."
It’s that time of year!
We don’t recommend setting unrealistic New Year’s Resolutions, but we do think that it is good practice to evaluate your health, and consider new goals for the year ahead.
Some of you may have experienced some weight regain, or just don’t feel as good as you did a year or two ago. We hear this pretty often.
So, it’s the perfect time to re-share this letter that a customer wrote to UNJURY®. It is a vivid reminder of how important your protein choice can be when it comes to maintaining your health.
""Hello-- my name is Elaine*, and I'm a 3 1/2 year gastric bypass post op. I used to use your product religiously, but over the last year I've gotten lazy with my protein intake...and I've gained 10lbs of my weight back.
I've been one of the lucky people who has never had any post op problems. No health issues...I've gotten down lower than my goal weight and maintained it...and I really believe it has to do with cutting out sugar completely, lowering starchy carbs drastically, and sticking to 2-3 UNJURY shakes a day. I guess I didn't realize how much the UNJURY had to do with that success.
Last year I started replacing my UNJURY with some ‘over the counter’ protein shakes. The nutritional components looked very similar- low carbs, low calories, high protein, no sugar. All good stuff I thought. then I noticed my weight creeping up slowly. My portion sizes started to increase ever so slowly to the point where I was really getting concerned at how much food it was taking to make me ‘feel full’. Granted, it was still a small amount- but I was eating more than before.
So, I upped my protein shakes (not UNJURY) to 3 a day- still no difference. My cravings increased...appetite increased. My husband asked me if I was losing hair. I have short hair, so I didn't really notice until I looked in the shower- and yes, I was losing hair!! About 2 months later my gums started bleeding when I brushed my teeth. And all this while I was drinking 3 ‘other brand’ protein shakes a day.
Because my family is on a tight budget right now, I rationalized the cost savings for the cheaper brand. But once my weight kept creeping up & my gums started bleeding, that was it. I went online & bought my UNJURY and put myself back on 3 shakes a day.
Within 2 weeks, the gums stopped bleeding. Within 3 days I could tell a huge difference in my cravings and my appetite. I eat less at each meal when I'm on UNJURY - and I started to feel like my ""old self"" again. I've lost 5 of the 10 extra pounds too.
After reading the protein fact sheets you send with each order, I can see the difference in protein quality. Just because the label says ‘20 grams of protein’ doesn't mean that I'm actually absorbing those 20 grams! I had no idea!! No wonder I was gaining weight!
I just wanted to give my testimony- I'll never question the price on UNJURY again:) Thanks.""
