    The secret to speedlined, permanent weight loss is to increase your protein intake. As a Certified Nutrition Coach, most women don’t believe me until they commit to it but trust me, this is the EASIEST way to look awesome because you get to add something in.. not take something out.

    Below are 3 ways that protein supports your weight loss goals.

    It Keeps You Full

    Ever notice how you’re hungry again so soon after a carb-heavy meal? Protein helps keep you full longer because it takes more time to digest.

    This means you actually feel satisfied instead of wanting something else half an hour later. Bump up your protein with something like a chicken omelet or chocolate baked protein oats in the morning and say goodbye to constant snacking.

    Learn more about how to increase your protein and how much protein you actually need to rock this.

    Reduces Cravings

    If you amp up your protein intake you’re FULL. It also helps you regulate your hunger hormones which means you’ll be less likely to crave super unhealthy snacks.

    And if you just make high protein desserts of your favorites like two bite brownies or twix bars then you’re literally good to go.

    Supports Your Workouts

    Don’t let your home workouts go to waste by constantly depriving. Instead, eat to FUEL your goals, and support your muscles.
