Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that there are ups and downs, ebbs and flows. Some people get frustrated and stop trying to lose weight because they go on these complicated diets that either introduce foods that are as appetizing as cardboard or they strictly limit foods they love. Not only is that not appealing and not healthy for the body, but it doesn't lead to long term, successful weight loss. One of the simplest ways to lose weight is to make sure you're getting the protein that your body needs. If you're eliminating or severely limiting protein, or simply not paying attention to the fact that you're loading up on carbs and ignoring the protein aspect, then it could be one of the reasons why your weight loss journey has been a struggle. Your body was made to need protein. You need it from head to toe. The cells throughout your body have to have it. Without enough protein, you'll end up with thinning hair and weak nails. Your body will struggle to stay healthy - to keep your muscles and tissues in good working order. You'll suffer from a lack of certain hormones and you can damage your bones without having enough protein in your diet. But a huge reason that you need to eat protein might surprise you. You need protein because it gives you energy. And energy is what enables you to be able to do whatever it is that you need to do throughout the day. Lack of protein is a big reason why so many diets people have tried, fail. Who cares what foods you eat when you're so tired and so drained that all you want to do is collapse on the sofa and not move? Diets that don't include a focus on protein will eventually wear you out and you won't want to stick to them. And you shouldn't. You need protein to give you the right amount of energy that will sustain you all the way through your journey to weight loss success. Let me show you how to get enough protein in your diet and how protein helps you with your weight loss efforts.
