Why Protein Is the Missing Link in Your Fat Loss Journey
Habit of The Week #5 | Your Daily Habit Challenge: Eating Enough Protein
If you’ve been eating “healthy” or have even been following the 80/20 rule we talked about last week but still feel tired, hungry, and can’t lose weight…
there’s a good chance you’re missing one thing: enough protein.
Most women I talk to are eating far less protein than their body actually needs.
But honestly, it’s not their fault.
For years, diet culture has told women to eat less, skip meals, and fear food.
But here’s what happens when your body doesn’t get enough protein:
Your metabolism slows down
Your energy crashes mid-day
Your cravings spiral
Your mood swings and hormones feel off
Not because you’re doing anything wrong.
But because your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs to stay balanced and burn efficiently.
When you start eating enough protein:
😋 You feel fuller longer.
😌 You stop thinking about food all day.
🔋 You finally have the energy to show up for your workouts and your life.
Now I do wanna be very clear… eating enough protein IS NOT just for bodybuilders.
It’s for women who want to:
Age strong and confident
Keep their metabolism working for them
Stay steady through hormone changes
Lose fat without losing muscle
Protein is the foundation of all of that.
Once you start eating enough, everything gets easier (your cravings, your energy, your results.)
Your Action Step for Today:
Don’t change anything yet.
Just track your protein for one day (not to be perfect, but to just build awareness.)
You might be surprised how low the number is.
And that’s okay.
Awareness is the first step to progress.
Write down what you eat today, or snap photos of your meals.
Tomorrow, I’ll show you exactly how to figure out how much protein your body actually needs — and how to do it without any complicated tracking.
Much love,
