Weight Management, Fat Reduction & Muscle Gain
Struggling with weight management can be a lonely and frustrating experience. If you’ve already tried conventional diets and exercise plans with limited success, it’s time to look beyond convention. By focusing on elements like cellular health, your gut, body composition, and hormonal balance, functional health experts can help you incorporate natural interventions that optimize your body composition and energy storage.
Connecting Weight Management Symptoms & Protein
An essential amino acid, appetite controller, and metabolism booster, protein plays a vital role in weight management. Despite its importance, we find that people struggling with their weight aren’t getting enough in their diets. Here are four simple ways to make sure you’re getting the protein you need each day to manage your weight and muscle mass:
- Include protein at every meal.
- Start your day with a protein-rich breakfast, such as eggs, Greek yogurt, or a protein smoothie.
- Choose lean protein sources like chicken, fish, beans, lentils, and tofu over fatty meats like red meat and processed meats.
- Keep a stash of healthy protein snacks like nuts, seeds, hard-boiled eggs, or protein bars on hand.
Incorporating appropriate quantities of this essential acid into your diet is foundational for weight optimization, fat reduction, and muscle gain.
