The study involved a group of obese women who weighted 184 pounds and they were compared with slender women whose weights were in the 127 pounds range. It was expected that every one of the slender women were physically fitter than the obese women but the results showed that both groups of women had similar physically activity. Even though the diets of the two groups were different, they had the same energy expenditure levels.

The obese women ate 45 to 50 percentage fat with high processed food. The lean women ate a lot of fiber while they skipped or took small amounts of animal protein and fat.

1. Eating the correct ration each meal. So what should be the right ratio in a meal? You need to make sure you eat according to your capacity. You need a lean protein shake diet drink, replete with unprocessed carbs and a little thumb-sized amount of fat, in order to fuel you brain and body with glucose; with fiber you will prevent yourself from hunger as well as stabilizing blood sugar and burning off body fat. You need to have enough glucose in your body so as it will not get into starvation mode. You thus need proteins and healthy fats to transform carbs into glucose that give you energy.

2. Reduce all the processed carbs and foods. They are of no nutritional importance to the body. When you consume a lot of processed carbs and food, the body will be forced to maintain excess weight of water. The body will hence store fats as it thinks it’s in emergency starvation since there isn’t enough nutrition in the body.

3. Taking high protein shake diet drinks in breakfast. You need to make good plan of the ingredients of the protein shake you have in mind. Shakes are easy and quick to make, when made properly they taste great and they are rich in nutritional ratio. You can have them the way you desire, either as a snack or a meal. The following ingredients are needed to make good protein shake diet drinks: water, soy milk, vanilla, sugar, coffee, whey proteins powder, fresh fruits, cinnamon and ice if necessary. These should be mixed together in a blender.
