It's true y'all. Balance in everything is key for progress. If you cut corners you just get twice as many corners!
Hitting your protein goals, but feeling bloated and sluggish?
High-protein diets build muscle, but skipping fiber to hit your macros is a huge mistake. Here’s why your physique needs both:
• Smooth Digestion: Fiber prevents the dreaded high-protein bloat and keeps your gut healthy.
• Longer Fullness: Protein triggers fullness hormones, but fiber physically slows digestion to stop cravings.
• Heart Health: Fiber acts like a sponge, binding to excess cholesterol and flushing it out.
💡 The Golden Ratio: Aim for 1g of fiber for every 3–4g of protein (e.g., 120g protein = 30–40g fiber).
