Why Women Need More Protein for Weight Loss - Podcast 31

Why is protein important for weight loss? Protein is important for women over 35 due to declining muscle mass and changes in reproductive hormones that are impacting the metabolism. When a woman is over 35 and also has a goal of weight loss, protein becomes an even more important nutrient.

This podcast episode explains in more detail why protein is a critical nutrient for women over 35 who have weight loss goals. Surprisingly, I find my clients are never eating enough protein for their age and weight loss goals.

In this Dish on Ditching Diets podcast episode I will explain:

  • Why is protein important for weight loss for women 35 and older
  • How metabolism is affected by protein intake
  • Best sources of protein you can incorporate into your diet (including vegetarian and animal sources)
  • What is and is not a protein
  • Best proteins to keep in your house at all times
