#Pretty Protein Power

Do you get enough protein each day?
✅Experts recommend between 1.6-2.2 grams per kg of your ideal bodyweight where weight loss is your goal.
✅It’s also fuel to grow your muscles. And why is muscle so important …..
➡️Because building muscle is absolutely key to sustainable weight loss, to maintain your metabolism, to giving your body strength & shape.
➡️The shape we lose in menopause. Our loss of oestrogen means our fat shifts from the hips & Glutes to the stomach.
➡️Many women see their waistlines completely disappear.
➡️Increased Muscle = Increased Metabolism = Decreased Fat
➡️Plus women naturally lose muscle mass as we age, hence our metabolism slows down, noticably around our 40's.
➡️Muscle continues to decreases year on year - Unless you do something about it.
➡️Hence the term 'middle age spread'.....;
➡️The reality is we have to be proactive to keep our body shape.
➡️Body shape is of course;just one example of why protein is just so important.
➡️But with body shape comes confidence, your identity - the person you know in the mirror. It can be daunting when that person starts to change without your permission.
✅Protein is also vital for bone strength, enzyme & hormone production & good health too.
