Can protein help with weight loss in perimenopause?

In Midlife, most of us aren't eating enough of the protein that we so desperately need and this can have a knock on effect on our waist line for the following reasons👇🏼

  • Protein levels directly impact on your satiety (how full you feel). 
  • It is harder to digest meaning you are fuller for longer and less likely to snack. 
  • It helps to build muscle which is great for weight management as muscle burns fat stores at rest.

The daily guideline is to aim for 0.75-1g of protein for every KG of body weight. Eg a lady weighing 60kg will need between 45-60g every day, but most women find this really tricky to achieve because it usually means an overall change to how we are eating, so here are my top 3 tips for including more protein at each meal

1 - start your day with protein - eggs, greek yogurt or a protein shake

2 - make protein the core part of each meal

3 - incorporate a protein shake into your day or add protein powder to your yogurt or smoothies

 

Inside the 21 Day Body Reset we make protein a priority at each meal, because the tricky part of this is that our bodies can't store protein, so this is a daily game!

How will you start to increase your protein levels?
