Are you getting 100+ grams of protein daily? Study after study confirm that protein is key to healthier aging (see below).
Protein will:
- help manage blood sugar
- keep you fuller longer
- protect the muscle you have
- help maintain & build lean muscle
- can reduce hot flashes
If you’re struggling to get enough protein throughout the day, reducing your eating window will make it even more of a challenge.
One benefit of intermittent fasting for weight loss is calorie reduction from a reduced eating window, but calorie reduction can be achieved in other ways.
You do YOU, but if reaching your protein target is hard for you, perhaps reconsider IF as an option for you.
Need some support? I’m here to provide tips and follow up to ensure that you’re hitting YOUR protein goal (as well as other healthy habits like increased exercise, water, sleep etc). Let’s talk.
