Why Protein & Fiber Matter

Your body has natural systems designed to regulate appetite, energy, and metabolism. The right nutrition can support these systems to work optimally.

The Power of Protein

Protein is the most satiating macronutrient. When you consume adequate protein, your body releases hormones that signal fullness to your brain, helping you naturally eat less without feeling deprived.

High-quality protein also supports muscle maintenance, which is crucial for a healthy metabolism. More muscle means more calories burned at rest.

Did you know?

Studies show that increasing protein intake to 25-30% of calories can boost metabolism by 80-100 calories per day and significantly reduce appetite and cravings.

The Role of Prebiotic Fiber

Prebiotic fiber feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut microbiome is increasingly linked to better metabolic health, mood, and immune function.

Fiber also slows down digestion, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels and extends the feeling of fullness after meals.

Gut-Brain Connection

Your gut produces signaling molecules that communicate directly with your brain about hunger and satiety. A well-fed microbiome supports better appetite regulation.

The Science

Naturally Boosting GLP-1 in Your Body

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone your body naturally produces that plays a key role in appetite regulation and metabolic health. Here's how nutrition can support it.

🧬

What is GLP-1?

GLP-1 is a hormone released by your intestines after eating. It signals your brain that you're full, slows stomach emptying, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

🥛

Protein's Role

Research shows that protein-rich meals stimulate greater GLP-1 release compared to carbohydrate or fat-heavy meals, promoting longer-lasting satiety.

🌱

Fiber's Impact

Prebiotic fiber ferments in the gut, producing short-chain fatty acids that can stimulate GLP-1 secreting cells, enhancing your body's natural fullness signals.

⚡

Sustained Energy

When GLP-1 levels are optimized through nutrition, you experience more stable energy throughout the day without the spikes and crashes.

🎯

Appetite Control

Higher GLP-1 activity is associated with reduced hunger and fewer cravings, making it easier to maintain healthy eating patterns naturally.

💚

Gut Health

The same prebiotic fibers that support GLP-1 also nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting overall digestive wellness.

How todo Supports Your Metabolic Health

1

Complete Protein Delivers Satiety Signals

Each todo contains 26g of complete milk protein, which triggers the release of satiety hormones including GLP-1 and PYY, telling your brain you're satisfied.

2

Prebiotic Fiber Feeds Your Gut

6g of prebiotic fiber nourishes beneficial gut bacteria. As they ferment this fiber, they produce compounds that further stimulate GLP-1 release.

3

Slowed Digestion, Sustained Fullness

The combination of protein and fiber slows gastric emptying, meaning nutrients are released gradually. This keeps you feeling full for up to 4 hours without energy crashes.

4

Zero Added Sugar, Stable Blood Sugar

With no added sugar and natural sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia, todo helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, avoiding the insulin spikes that can lead to increased hunger and cravings.
