Food Selection for Gastric Bypass PatientsWritten by Protica Research
Continued from page 1
Each serving of Profect is contained in 2.7 fluid ounces, which is significantly smaller than most other nutritional supplements. It is therefore aptly suited for those who must limit their volume of food intake. At same time, each serving of Profect contains only 100-calories – none of which are from fat -- and as such will not lead to runaway caloric intake. What is clearly most appreciated medical quality, however, is Profect’s protein configuration. Each 2.7 fluid ounce serving of Profect contains 25 grams of protein. This is densest protein available on market. As such, individuals who are obliged to eat very small food portions can easily ingest 100% of U.S. Recommended Daily Intake of protein in less than six fluid ounces. In addition, each serving of Profect contains 50% to 100% of all nine water-soluble vitamins. These vitamins help consumers replenish vitamin stores that they may be losing due to post-procedure side effects noted above, such as diarrhea, vomiting, and sweating. In long-term, daily usage of Profect provides body with critically important constant flow of water-soluble vitamins. Indeed, controversy surrounding stomach stapling, which also includes its hefty price tag, will continue; and it is important to hear all views. Yet what must also continue is quality education and awareness. People must be adequately informed that while their weight may seemingly “disappear” overnight thanks to stomach stapling, there is still a challenging road ahead. This road includes an eating regimen that will require conscientious food selections, much smaller portions, and careful monitoring of protein and vitamin intake.

| | Safely Transitioning Off Meal Replacement PlansWritten by Protica Research
Continued from page 1
Fortunately, there exist some very well designed nutritional supplements and plans that support this transition strategy. These nutritional supplements are not candy bars posing as “energy bars”, or protein powders laden with calories and fat grams [iii]. Rather, these authentic nutritional supplements are scientifically designed, low-calorie, complete eating solutions. That is, they can be used to supplement a meal that is not fortified with vitamins or complete protein, or they can be used -- without health risk -- to replace a meal when healthy eating choices are not available. Meal replacements have proven their value in “battle of bulge”; especially since they provide dieters with an easy answer to question: what do I eat today? However, it is just as clear that period just after weight loss, when meal replacements program ceases, is critical. Far too many dieters are left without a transition plan that enables them to safely return to a diet of non meal-replacement items. Fortunately for these individuals, and for future dieters as well, there exist authentic and medically engineered nutritional supplement solutions that bridge this gap, and help ensure that a hard won weight loss battle is a long-term victory.
