You might be thinking “I thought this was a fitness website?”
YES! It is that but its also about helping people get lean and strong(er).
An important topic that often comes up is what should I eat
What are the best foods to eat if your trying to lose body fat?
These are questions that I receive often and I try to keep it as simple as I can.
Not because I think people can’t do something complicated but because the easier I can make losing weight the more people will stick to the (Pn) program.
The emphasis is on minimally processed foods, a (non starchy) vegetable and a serving of protein with every snack and meal.
- Protein helps make many hormones. This includes hormones that manage appetite, balance blood sugar, and support feeling happy and relaxed.
- Protein supports the immune system. Without enough protein, we easily become sick and frail, and recover slower.
- Protein improves body composition. It helps shed fat, gain or maintain muscle mass, and stay lean for life.
- Protein is physically satisfying. You’ll feel fuller, longer. This is important if you’re trying to eat less in order to lose fat. Eating more protein means feeling more satisfied with meals, and less hungry between meals.
- Protein helps build and repair almost every tissue in the body— muscles, connective tissues (such as tendons and ligaments), and bones.
More protein means better recovery, more muscle, less fat, and a stronger, healthier body.
No matter what your goals are, having a solid protein intake is one of the most important practices you can do for your overall health, fitness and performance.
