Protein derives from ancient greece and the literal translation is 'First'. Therefore, protein is the first food group that should enter the body in the morning, this can help to stabilise the blood sugar, reduce cravings during the day and providing sustained energy levels. Protein is the building blocks for the body and good place to start, but make sure it is the lean variety found in lean meat, poultry or soya.

This constant turnover of celluar production requires a constant supply of high quaility protein.
