Life Extension

"Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey…" How many times have you heard that old nursery rhyme? Did you ever stop to wonder exactly what she was eating?

"Curds" are what are commonly known as cottage cheese, which is a low calorie product that is readily bought in a supermarket near you. Whey, on the other hand, is a little harder to find - you will need to buy a proprietary brand, such as Life Extension.

Like curds, whey is a low calorie dietary supplement that is effective in promoting weight loss. Whey products, like the low calorie Life Extension Whey Protein range, are naturally derived from milk. Whey is a complex compound of protein, lactose and minerals that has many weight loss benefits.

The low calorie Life Extension Whey Protein range works in many ways. Firstly, whey boosts the body's levels of the naturally occurring hormone cholecystokinin, which is a key component in controlling appetite.

So, not only is the Life Extension range low in calories to begin with, taking Life Extension Whey Protein also suppresses your appetite, making you feel fuller, thus reducing your overall calorie intake.

Life Extension Whey Powder is not only a means of achieving a low calorie intake for reducing weight, it also helps boost lean muscle mass and the body's fat burning potential. Taking Life Extension Whey Powder before exercise enhances the body's ability to burn calories.

As an added bonus, because Life Extension Whey Powder is a protein rather than a carbohydrate, it helps the body build lean muscle mass, enabling the fat and calorie burning potential of the body, even while the body is resting.

Consuming whey protein is also a means of increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin and restricting weight gain. Studies have shown that consuming whey powder like Life Extension Whey Powder is more effective than consuming red meat - and it's low in calories.

A protein supplement like Life Extension Whey Powder can be very effective in managing and regulating blood glucose levels.

As well as being a low calorie supplement, Life Extension Whey Powder also has been proven to raise the body's level of serotonin. Serotonin is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates mood and anxiety.

When your body's serotonin levels are high, you feel upbeat, positive and relaxed. However, when the body's serotonin levels are low, this leads to feelings of despondency and anxiety, and even depression.

Taking Life Extension Whey Powder can help to boost your mood - a low calorie mood boost that's better for you than munching chocolate.

Low calorie Life Extension Whey Powder comes in three delicious flavours, natural, vanilla and chocolate. Each serve of Life Extension Whey Powder contains only 74 calories.

The Life Extension range also includes a number of other low calorie meal replacements, most of which are protein powders designed to be mixed with water (the lowest calorie option), milk or juice to reduce the body's desire to eat. And they all taste good!
