    Everything you need to know about protein. Plus, building muscle, losing fat and eating for longevity.

    I had a huge response on Instagram when I shared the best information I’ve ever heard when it comes to why protein is such an important macro nutrient. For that reason, I thought I’d share it with you again in case you missed it first time around. Right now, you can’t move for protein printed across most food packaging. Even chocolate bars have got in on the action, producing ‘high protein’ varieties of their sweet snacks to try to sell them as a key component of a healthy, balanced diet. How can this be junk food when it contains protein? What’s the truth?  In 2021 I interviewed Dr Gabrielle Lyon, a double-board certified family physician trained in geriatric nutritional sciences who focuses on skeletal muscle to support longevity.  It was her work with geriatric patients that highlighted the importance of maintaining lean muscle in order to live well into older age and to avoid a plethora of health issues. The fact this conversations pre-dates the obsession with protein adds, I think, real value to Gabrielle’s expertise because it was long before every ‘health expert’ was talking about protein on podcasts.  This conversation actually fundamentally changed how I eat and, since we spoke, I’ve been focusing on a high protein diet for all the reasons she describes during this conversation - not least to get lean while building muscle.
