There are lots of methods and diets that people claim as the best for weight loss.

Most of it, unfortunately, is not true and doesn't have a good scientific basis. However, there is one nutrient which is incredibly helpful for weight loss and has a huge evidence base to support it.

If you're trying to lose weight then this nutrient is absolutely vital, and it could be the critical factor in you doing it successfully.

That nutrient is protein, and this this episode I talk you through the science behind protein, why it works for you and link it to practical tips for you to include more protein in your diet. 

There is evidence to support protein's impact on hunger signalling, as well as preserve more muscle mass which can increase your resting calorie expenditure. Not only that, but it's also been shown to reduce the risk of weight regain after hitting your goal.

Your diet and the food that you eat is incredibly important when it comes to weight loss, and without being in the right calorie deficit you won't lose weight.

But numbers and calorie deficits aren't the only thing that are important. Weight loss should be seen as a journey, with twists and turns, bumps and bruises. It's very rare that weight loss goes 100% to plan.

Underestimating factors like realistic timeframes, missing non-weight successes and failing to prepare for stress periods can completely derail your attempts at weight loss.

In this episode, I walk you through 10 mindset tips which have the potentially to transform your weight loss journey and your life.
