Chances are you want to lose fat, right? While you may say, "I want to lose weight," it's actually FAT (not muscle) that you are hoping goes away.
Here's a heavily researched strategy that's EASY with MASSIVE IMPACT. No dieting, no calorie counting, and no starving.
If you want body composition change, eat MORE protein. More than what you're eating now. And we're talking QUALITY protein (not complete proteins like beans and rice).
See, protein is the building block for muscle. Getting enough protein means you both maintain AND grow muscle (which burns more calories than fat, even while you're on the couch watching Netflix).
Plus, more muscle is crazy-beneficial as you age because it means (a) less injury and (b) less cognitive decline.
Getting ENOUGH protein will regulate your insulin level. And with a balanced blood sugar level, you have balanced ENERGY, hooray!
Meeting your protein quota will control your appetite, all while you stay satisfied. Protein takes a long time to digest, and you won't overindulge (like we do with processed, refined carbs). You don't need appetite suppressants or diet pills, you need PROTEIN!
THE KEY is to start EARLY in the day. Some research says WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF WAKING. IF you're not hungry soon after waking, there can actually be underlying issues. What you do NOT want to do is play "catch up" and try to meet your protein goal in, say, lunch and dinner alone - it's overwhelming. You want to start EARLY and with MUCH protein.
So how much do you need? At the risk of being numbers focused, you want to eat around 0.8 grams - 1 gram of protein per pound of desired body weight. You KNOW I'm not a fan of the scale, but for this purpose, it gives decent structure. Want to weigh 150? Eat AROUND 150 grams of protein each day (consistency is crucial); if you eat 3 meals, that's around 50 grams per meal; if you eat 5 times a day, that's 30 grams per meal; again, don't get obsessive over numbers.
