Protein Power
Not consuming enough protein can lead to nutrient deficiencies and even muscle loss, as the body may resort to using muscle for fuel. To change your body shape and achieve a leaner physique, prioritize protein intake, especially at the start of your meals. Embrace a relaxed approach to tracking macros and remember the 80/20 rule: focus on protein and greens most of the time, but allow yourself some indulgences. Additionally, protein plays a crucial role in regulating hunger hormones, making it essential for overall wellness.In this clip
