today i forgot i had to see patients and took a lax, what a terrible decision 🫠ðŸ«
i just remembered that walking stimulates bowel movement and felt like sharing the info

distracting myself idk
• reposting because i got t-
when eating, why do i aim to eat at least 10g of protein per 100kcal?
↳ this means around 40% of calorie intake is protein based
1. increased satiation: protein makes you feel fuller for longer, helping in the initial stages of fasting. reducing calorie intake, reducing curb hunger/ binging, and improving insulin sensitivity*
2. boosts metabolism: protein digestion burns more calories than digesting carbs or fats, giving you a little metabolism boost
3. preserves muscle: protein helps maintain muscle during weight loss, keeping your metabolism higher - more muscle burns more kcals, even at rest
4. helps with muscle recovery: protein supports muscle repair (and i exercise almost every day, so i need a nice recovery)
*the better your body reacts to insulin, the better it regulates blood sugar levels, preventing sugar crashes (hypoglycemia triggers hunger because your body needs a fast source of energy to recover from it, and fast sources of energy usually include carbs and sugars), so eating more protein when you do eat literally means easier fasting
