2024:42 Not Another Crazy Diet! 🤪

minute/s remaining

Protein has been getting a lot of attention again lately. It was more than a decade ago that I tried the high protein approach which requires that you consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight.

So, this isn’t my first rodeo … with protein bucking the mainstream nutrition advice.

These “experts” that are recommending increasing protein consumption have been loud voices for fasting. And, the two approaches are difficult to merge.

In the Human Energy System Reboot I developed, I recommend 7 Ways to initiate a reboot. Two of those ways are increasing protein and fasting.

But I don’t recommend consuming over 100 grams of protein in a day. The only way to do that is to essentially eat a carnivore diet. 

There are some circumstances where that makes sense for a short period of time but it causes long-term damage to the digestive system and metabolism.

Rather, I suggest about half that. 50 grams of protein in a day … coupled with intermittent fasting. 

A 6-hour eating window works pretty well for most women with a couple of days of OMAD (one meal a day) most weeks.

Fasting stimulates growth hormone but your body still needs the raw building blocks and nutrients to create energy for repair and maintenance. 

There are 5 additional ways that I combine in the Human Energy System Reboot to make it a super effective week of healing for your body.

I hope you’ll give it a try before you do further damage by adopting yet another crazy diet!

Until next week … 

Be Well!
