Hunger and cravings sabotaging your weight loss??
This was the game changer for me⤵️
💾 Save this in case you need this reminder later😉
As women, for years…even decades… we were taught to have small portions of protein…
The size of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand…♣️👋🏼
And as a result we struggle with hunger and cravings.😤
Here’s the thing your body has a certain amino acid requirement (from protein) for your body to run properly.
When you don’t meet that through your diet your body is gonna cue up hunger until it gets it. 🤯
It’s that important!‼️
When you start providing your body sufficient protein you’ll be surprised at how that helps to curb hunger and cravings.
And I can tell you one thing - losing weight is so much easier when you’re not starving and fighting cravings all the time.😎
So how much should you eat? Recent research suggests that most women should aim for a *minimum* of 100g/day and aim for at least 30g/meal to help that satiety factor.🥩🥚🍤
If that feels like too much right now (common since we’re not used to it). Just start with eating a little more than you are now - If you usually have 2 eggs for breakfast start having 3 - and work your way up😉
So what do you think will you give this a try? I’d love to hear how it goes for you!🫶

Hunger and cravings can significantly interfere with weight loss efforts, especially for women who often follow outdated dietary recommendations. To combat this, it's crucial to understand the role of protein in the diet. Protein intake is not just about satisfying hunger; it also meets the body's amino acid requirements, which prevents the frequent cues of hunger when these needs are unmet. Research suggests that women should consume a minimum of 100g of protein per day, ideally aiming for at least 30g at each meal. This can help maintain satiety throughout the day and reduce the temptation to snack on less nutritious foods. It’s common to feel overwhelmed by this amount, but small increments can lead to significant changes. For instance, if your breakfast typically includes two eggs, try adding a third. Incorporating a variety of protein sources like poultry, fish, eggs, legumes, and dairy can make meals more enjoyable and fulfilling. Additionally, combining protein with fiber-rich foods can enhance satiety even further, providing a sustainable way to achieve your weight-loss goals. By prioritizing protein intake, you may find that weight loss becomes less about deprivation and more about nourishing your body. Consider focusing on high-protein breakfasts to kickstart your day or planning snacks that include protein. Simple swaps in your meals can help curb those pesky cravings, allowing you to navigate your weight loss journey with confidence. Don't hesitate to experiment with different sources of protein to discover which options you enjoy most!
