Why some women are not eating enough protein for weight loss
Not enough?
Why are people and more often women not eating enough protein? One of the main reasons is many women are addicted to refined carbohydrates and sugars. For many women who are or have been on many diets find by the time they have over indulged on refined carbohydrates (not all carbohydrates are created equal) there is little room left for protein foods. Protein foods are not addictive, in the same way.
A protein deficiency caused by not eating enough for your needs can cause fluid retention, cravings, blood sugar problems etc. Not ideal scenario for weight-loss and maintenance. I have found that when women start eating enough protein (but don’t over do it, as this can be problematic too) they start to lose weight. A good proportion of the weight is the fluid retention they have carried around for years. Protein keeps you fuller for longer. They will help you moderate your cravings or hunger.
