Episode 508: Is your High Protein Breakfast Not Working?

from Naturally Nourished · host Ali Miller RD

Have you heard all the benefits of a high protein breakfast but you aren’t seeing the results? Would you benefit more from intermittent fasting or a calorie restricted protein snack? Does your body feel food insecure or over-fed? Where are your insulin and leptin levels? Do you have fertility goals? Are you looking to fight a disease?    In this episode I’m going into the nitty gritty of fasting vs. high protein breakfast which is better for you! You will learn there are some positive health outcomes with both approaches. In order to get results it is really important to understand your health status, goals, limitations, and priorities, then you can set up experiments and learn from your results.    My new offering, Beyond Keto, is a community membership providing interactive support for optimal metabolic health and food freedom.
