The Power of Protein: How Eating Protein First Can Help You Eat Less Carbs

I just had this enlightening chat with Dr. Jordan Rubin on my show, and I've got to share this with you. You know how we're always trying to figure out the best way to eat to feel great and stay in shape? Well, Jordan blew my mind with something so simple yet powerful.

He explained that our entire body, from our immune system to our skin, is built on proteins, right? But here's the kicker: when you eat protein first in your meal, you end up eating fewer carbs later. It's all about the order! Think about it; restaurants serve bread first because it primes you for dessert. But that's not how we were meant to eat. If you start with protein, like collagen-rich foods, then move on to high-fiber veggies, and save any sweets for last, you'll feel so much more satisfied.

And get this, I totally relate to what he said next. I can binge eat ice cream like there's no tomorrow (especially when it's homemade and somewhat healthy), but try doing that with salmon and broccoli – impossible! Our bodies just know when we've had enough of the good stuff. Jordan's advice isn't just science; it's about getting back to the way humans historically ate.

So, I'm thinking of giving this a real shot and even checking out some supplements from Ancient Nutrition to boost this new eating strategy. They've got this collagen powder that Dr. Rubin was raving about. If you're interested, I've got a code, LANCEVIP, that'll get you 20% off at ancientnutrition.com. Let's give this a try together. Could be a game-changer for us.
