Are you tired of constantly battling hunger while trying to lose weight? 

Well, I’ve got some good news for you. 

It doesn’t have to be that way.

There’s a secret to quieting the food noise, the hunger, the cravings…

And it’s not actually a secret at all.

IT’S PROTEIN. 🥩

The “secret” to protein is that it helps you stay full much longer, which means ultimately, you don’t need to eat as much.

How much protein do you need each day?

About 0.8 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound optimal body weight. 

Yes, that’s a lot. But it’s totally doable.

Animal protein is ideal: steak, chicken, fish, pork, turkeys, eggs.

But there are a lot of other creative ways to add protein to your diet too.

BONUS TIP: watch your carbohydrate intake level.

No, carbs are not inherently “bad” … BUT… as we age, our hormones shift.

We become more insulin resistant and don’t tolerate carbs — bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, even some fruit — like we once did.

How have you learned to quiet food noise? Share your strategies below!
