Description
Track Healthy Weight Loss: There are so many diets and weight loss tools available to help you lose weight, but their quality can vary and it can be hard to know which plan is right for you. Effectively monitoring your weight loss patterns through protein biomarkers can indicate how your diet and exercise plan is affecting your body. This allows you to make safe, healthy changes in your daily habits to ensure long-term weight loss. Healthy weight loss may also lower your chances of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and type II diabetes.
