You Need More Protein Than You Think
20 days ago
- Protein is not optional in midlife: Anna suggests most women start at around 100 grams a day, then build toward roughly 2 grams per kilogram of body weight if they strength train twice a week. The old targets were set on a male model, and women have been under-eating protein for years.
- Pair your carbs so your energy holds: Anna’s no naked carbs rule means never eating sugar or starch on its own. Combine it with protein or fat to avoid the spike and crash that masquerades as hunger, fatigue, or a mid-afternoon nap you did not plan on.
- Comfortable is the enemy at the gym: If you have run the same workout with the same weights for years, your body has stopped adapting. Get comfortable being uncomfortable, reach for the heavier bar, and consider a trainer for a stretch just to build your own library of moves.
