The Protein Challenge - What to Expect in the First Week | A Different Perspective | July 6, 2024

This week, we at The Wellness Way started our Power of Protein Challenge. If you joined us, you may have noticed a couple of changes in your body: Changes in bowel movements, cravings, and weight are common and normal with such a notable dietary change. Why? This week on A Different Perspective, Dr. Bryce Gallagher joins us to explain what you might be feeling after increasing your daily protein intake, and how to maximize those protein benefits!

He covers many useful topics, including:

How eating more protein may reduce sugar intake: When you boost your protein intake so drastically, you get full faster. When that happens, that last brownie starts to not look *quite* as good, because your body is already satisfied - and with food that has far more nutrients!

Malabsorption: This may be the biggest obstacle for most people. Certain health conditions - and even just mental stress - can reduce stomach acid, making it harder for the body to digest the food it's given. What are a few ways to help support the body's absorption? Dr. Bryce breaks them down for us!

How do you set yourself up for success? It can be challenging to get in the amount of protein you're supposed to aim for. Dr. Bryce shares some practical tips on how to make it easier - including some snack ideas!
