‘What protein powder do you recommend?’ might be the question I get asked most as a Dietitian 😅

And truthfully… I get the hype.

I’m currently obsessed with adding the vanilla protein powder with creatine to my morning oat & my kids have no idea I’m sneaking lemon ice protein powder into their smoothies 🤍🍋

🥣 My current obsession:
1/4 cup old fashioned oats (for the gut health!)
1/2 scoop vanilla vanilla protein with creatine
1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
A sprinkle of walnuts
Blueberries and strawberries

🌴Saturday morning thoughts: If you feel like you've tried everything at this point to make your body weight change and nothing budges...

It's important to know that our bodies protect the weight they have already acquired -

If you have gained weight through yo-yo dieting, from a medication / illness / injury / experience of trauma, etc - it is likely your body's set point will raise AND your body will now protect that new set point range fiercely. It's a way that our body protects us from famine, emergency and promotes survival.

This may be exactly the reason you have tried your hardest to restrict and, over the years, it's just become futile. You can't stick to it, OR even if you DO stick to the restriction, your weight just won't budge.

What to do?!

Meet with a nutrition professional to work WITH physiology, not against it:

1.) Prioritize adequate, consistent fueling (especially protein + fiber for satiety signaling)

2.) Reduce extremes (chronic under-eating, aggressive dieting)

3.) Support metabolic health (sleep, resistance training, stress regulation)

4.)Focus on body composition and metabolic markers, not just scale weight

🧠One of the top goals of the patients that I work with is to reduce the risk of an Alzheimer’s and dementia. It comes up more often than I thought it would! Therefore, I always share any articles or new studies that come across on this topic. 📑
