Protein First
Most people try to “eat better” by changing everything at once.
A calmer approach is to change one thing:
Protein first.
Before snacks, before carbs, before sweets — ask:
“Where is the protein?”
Protein tends to steady appetite, reduce cravings later, and support recovery — especially if you walk a lot or train.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s just a simple anchor that makes the next choice easier.
Try it today:
At your next meal, choose a clear protein source first.
Then add the rest.
Simple protein options:
- Greek yoghurt / skyr
- eggs
- chicken / turkey / beef / lamb
- tofu / tempeh
- lentils / beans
- protein shake (when needed)
Slow and steady. 👣
Why this works:
Protein is satisfying and stabilising. It reduces the “spike → crash → snack” loop.
