How to start a high-protein diet for weight loss- the perimenopause diet that WORKS!

Today I have a step by step guide how to start a high-protein diet for weight loss for you. I did this at 48 being perimenopausal and so can you! I can’t believe I had to turn this old to understand this! I used to eat around 1400 calories- now I eat 2000 calories! Along the way this happened:

✅I lost 14 lbs (down from 160 lbs to 146 lbs)

✅I gained 2 lbs skeletal muscle mass

✅My BMI went down from 25.3 (overweight) to 23 (normal)

✅Body Fat % down from 35.5 to 27.8

✅Visceral Fat Level (abdominal) down from 12 to 8

I started to increase my protein intake back in February while also reducing my fat intake- AND I also INCREASED my carbs (that everyone is so afraid of- NOT ME ANYMORE!!!).

How do you start a high protein diet?

Here is my STEP BY STEP GUIDE! Do this, don't delay. Start tomorrow!!! You can do this! 💪💪💪

1. Download the App MyFitnessPal (free version is enough!)

2. Set your Macros in the App to: 40% Carbs, 30% Fat, 30% Protein

3. Tell the App in your "goals" that you want to lose weight (it will adjust your calorie intake accordingly)

4. Track your food daily and make sure you hit your protein goal!

5. Best protein sources: chicken, fish, shrimp, Greek yogurt, lentils

6. Be patient. I did not lose weight fast- this is NOT A FAD DIET. This is not something that you do temporarily- you will keep eating this way as it is sustainable! I think one of the main reasons I lost the weight is, that I did not plan to lose weight- I only wanted to gain muscles and look more toned, so I did not even go on the scale every day but realized after a while that every couple of weeks I lost a pound! Be patient and trust the process.

7. Workout! Preferably lifting weights. I lift weights 3x/ week + swim laps 4x (45 minutes). 

Best thing is: I am NEVER hungry! I eat so much!
