Study - Curb Overeating with Protein-Rich Breakfasts

If you want to stay healthy, researchers at MissourUniversity are suggesting that regularly eating protein-rich breakfasts keeps you satisfied and wards off overeating... read full story. <---LINK



My Comments:

Many people with hypoproteinemia are subject to hyperlipidemia (hign levels of fats in our blood).  I, for example, have high cholesterol and triglycerides). 

So if I follow the advice indicated in the above study, I'll consider what kinds of proteins I consume. 

Bacon is a protein food, but it also has a high fat content.  Sure, I might eat a slice of bacon every once in a while, but that is not going to be what I turn to to increase  my protein intake.

I may, for example, add some egg-whites to my scrambled eggs.  Egg whites are high-protein, but low cholesterol.

I may consume a protein supplement such as a soy-protein powder mixed into my orange juice.
I think it would be okay to increase protein, provided it isn't a high fat/cholesterol protein.

Update - Current Status - What's Happening

Well, I've been out of pocket lately regarding this blog.  My internet service was inoperative due to my cable-modem giving out.  I have it back on-line now, and have this report:


I've got severe osteoporosis, since my calcium is always low.  I've been taking vit.D, (ergocalcifero) twice a week, and fosimax for monts and months that hasn't helped my bone density over a 2 year period.


So, the doctor wants me to take an injection instead of taking the fosimax.  It is an strong drug that is a once a year injection instead of a weekly pill.


The problem with this is that there is a risk associated with this injection (as well as the weekly pills) that my jaw bone (Mandible) could die (osteonecrosis).


This wouldn't be good.


I've been having good luck on the protein/edema department.


I had an appointment about 2 weeks following my last hospitalization.  This appointment was about a month ago.


In the process of that appointment, it was decided that I should get admitted for diureses since I was there and had gained about 10 poinds of fluid.


I stayed about 7 days and reduced my weight from about 185 to 175.


The news is that since I've been out, I've been holding steady at about 174. 


Maybe there is something to getting albumin infused in excessive amounts that curbs my protein loss.


Well, this is all for now.
