Why getting enough protein matters

Sujata Din

This week, I’m excited to talk about one of my absolute favourite topics: Protein! If you’re on a weight loss journey, this is one nutrient you can’t overlook.

Maybe you’ve been counting calories, trying intermittent fasting, or focusing on cardio to help with weight loss. Are you getting enough protein?

Here’s why protein is essential to make the most of your efforts:

  • It Helps You Burn More Calories
    Protein naturally boosts your metabolism because your body uses more energy to digest it. So, by eating more protein, you’re burning extra calories without even trying!

  • More Satisfied
    Protein helps you feel fuller for longer, which reduces cravings and minimises snacking. This makes it easier to stay on track without feeling deprived.

  • Lose Fat, Not Muscle
    When you lose weight, you want to lose fat, not muscle! Protein helps build and maintain muscle mass, ensuring that your weight loss is healthier and more sustainable.

  • Feel and Look Good
    Protein doesn’t just support weight loss, it also promotes healthier hair, skin, and nails. So, as you reach your goals, you’ll look and feel even better!

Let’s make sure you’re not missing out on the benefits of this essential nutrient!
