Can protein help with weight loss in perimenopause?
Oct 01, 2023In 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?
