The importance of Whey protein

I was having a hard time losing weight, I weighed about 155 at 5'6" and I thought I was doing the right thing by eating Total raisin bran for breakfast, taking my vitamins, eating grilled chicken sandwich on whole grain bread and eating celery and peanut butter for lunch and having steamed vegetables, apples and other fruits, vegetables and not eating after 7pm. I was exercising moderately with these exercises which are easy and fun and keep you limber and young go http://realage.com/StayingYoung/YOUToolsTips.aspx?tip=22 , to see the exercises. I also have to keep up after my toddler so that is some exercise. Well anyway, to get to the point, I was not losing weight and I was not even eating that much so I became frustrated. Recently, I found out something that changed all that and that was that I needed to have more protein and that whey or soy isolate is the best because it is low in carbs and sugar and has the essential amino acid chains, also that I was supposed to have about the amount of grams of protein as my body weight at first to get the weight off. Here is another article to explain the reason for this, http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/09/0609052225848.htm and I was also supposed to eat all the foods low on the glycemic index, which means low in sugar and carbs pretty much, here is that information http://www.herbalvitality.info/aw/glycemic_index.htm
