Calm your cravings
Did you know that many women lack energy because their protein consumption is unevenly distributed throughout the day? Protein allows us to maintain an adequate cruising speed all day long, and thanks to the feeling of fullness it provides, it tends to minimize sugar cravings. Protein is therefore ideal for your well-being and your waistline!
Scientific studies have shown that an inadequate amount of protein at mealtimes can result in cravings between meals. To prevent these “false hungers” and the temptation to fill up on candy, cookies, or pastries, be sure to include protein at every meal. Great sources of protein include meat, poultry, fish, legumes, eggs, and milk products.
Drinking milk every day is a good habit to adopt. Contributing to your protein intake, milk also helps calm your cravings while sustaining you until your next meal. Studies have shown that milk might also help achieve and maintain healthy weight.
Contrary to popular belief, snacking between meals is not harmful to your weight, as long as the snacks are healthy and that you are truly hungry. For healthy snack ideas, consult our recommendation: Snack Healthy.
