The Protein Plan

From the bestselling author of The Hormone Diet, an authoritative guide to making sure you’re getting the protein you need to thrive As the number of plant-based proteins and added-protein foods grows rapidly, confusion around protein is growing as well. Protein is the most important nutritional macro for building strength, but many of us don’t understand that our bodies don’t make or store it. Getting enough protein—and at the right time—is the key to a long, strong and healthy life. In The Protein Plan, Dr. Natasha Turner draws on the latest research to explain the facts, untangle common myths and provide a sensible plan to ensure you get the protein you need in the right ways. Offering practical strategies, Dr. Turner helps you understand: • How much protein do you really need? • Do you need extra protein to build muscle? • Does age impact how much protein you need and how it is absorbed and digested? • Is your child getting enough protein? • Can you get enough protein from vegan or vegetarian sources? • What foods are the best sources of protein? • What about fat loss and protein? The Protein Plan also includes simple and delicious recipes, strategies for optimum protein absorption at any age, and Dr. Turner’s revolutionary Nutri-Keto program, which is easier to follow and more effective than the standard keto diet.
