Proasis Protein by Protica Research an All Natural Diet Shot

Proasis all-natural protein shot

Whitehall, PA (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

Protica Research has announced that it has developed an all natural product to help consumers lose weight in a healthy way. This new protein shot, Proasis®, is designed to compliment many popular diet programs already being used by consumers. Proasis will allow consumers to supplement a whole foods weight loss diet with all natural, concentrated nutrition.

“So many people think they can take all the weight they have accumulated through years of poor diet and simply shed those pounds in a matter of weeks. Any rapid diet will place stress on the body, and you risk further stress by having your weight ‘yo-yo’ up and down,” says Jim Duffy, founder and president of Protica. Duffy wants to develop products that help avoid the risks of unhealthy eating habits and meal skipping. Duffy believes Proasis can be used to help people avoid skipping meals, which denies nutrients to the body and slows metabolism. Proasis was designed to provide concentrated nutrients to increase metabolism and encourage efficient calorie burning.

Proasis was designed to be used with a healthy diet of fresh foods, providing additional nutrition necessary to maintaining a healthy weight. Its formulation is intended to provide concentrated nutrients and protein in a compact, three-ounce shot. When asked about the benefits of Proasis, Duffy said, “People can now take steps toward achieving their desired weight, while maintaining the proper levels of nutrition in a convenient and tasty way.”

Jim Duffy founded Protica and developed the product line because of his desire to maintain a healthy diet despite his occasionally unhealthy eating habits. When asked about his products, Duffy added, “The temptation to starve yourself into looking good can be overwhelming to some, but there is always a way to maintain your health, even when trying to lose weight. It is our mission to help keep you healthy.”

Duffy is confident that Protica products can help simplify and enhance the average person’s daily eating routines, just as they have helped his diet.

Sandwich and Sub Store Franchises in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

IBISWorld Market Research

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

During the past five years, the sandwich and sub store franchises experienced consistent and aggressive growth despite a struggling economy. Over the five years to 2012, IBISWorld expects revenue to grow at an average annual rate of 4.3% to $ 18.9 billion. Industry revenue grew 5.2% in 2008 and 6.8% in 2009, largely on the back of major player Subway’s success with the Five Dollar Footlong promotion. Revenue managed to maintain that momentum through the end of 2011. In 2012, revenue is expected to grow an additional 1.5%. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Nima Samadi, “The industry has thrived by developing new menu options that capitalize on society’s increasing awareness of the health risks associated with a high-fat diet.”

As the economy fell deeper into a recession and unemployment numbers rose, consumers became more selective about how they spent disposable income. Samadi says, “In 2009, consumer spending declined 1.9%, and luxuries like eating out were among the first expenditures to go.” The sandwich and sub store franchises avoided these downward trends primarily due to the industry leader, Subway and its wildly successful Five Dollar Footlong promotion which began in 2008. Because Subway offered sandwiches at an attractive price point, the company generated enough consumer interest to help negate the effect of the weak economy. The consumer spending trends reversed in 2010 and 2011. As a result, IBISWorld anticipates that more consumers are treating themselves to eating out, encouraging consumers to visit sandwich and sub store franchises.

The industry was one of the first quick service segments to capitalize on consumers’ health and weight concerns. In 2000, Subway began an extremely successful advertising campaign using Jared Fogle, a man who lost a significant amount of weight by eating Subway sandwiches. Because of the campaign, many sandwich franchises avoided the declines that the rest of the quick service segment experienced. Other industry operators include Quiznos, Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches and Jersey Mike’s. Many firms have expanded their menu options to ensure that they can retain as large a portion of their customers’ dining out dollars as possible. For example, in 2010, Subway added breakfast items to their menu, and in 2011, it introduced Subway Cafes, which offer coffee, paninis, muffins and other pastries. Over the five years to 2017, these trends are expected to contribute to further revenue growth.
