Narrated by:
We’re living in a protein-obsessed world, but what if we are more at risk of eating too much than not enough?
In our quest for better health, protein has been packaged as the answer to all our problems. We’re bombarded with protein-packed meals, snacks and supplements and told we need to eat as much as possible to feel full, lose weight and bulk up. But more protein is not the magic health fix we’ve been sold. In fact:
- Excess protein can be stored as fat and may contribute to insulin resistance and diabetes
- Research shows that restricting protein intake is linked with reduced cancerous tumour growth
- Protein deficiency is virtually unheard of in the western world
Written by one of UK’s leading metabolic health scientists, this book flips the protein propaganda on its head and reveals the truth about what it is, how it affects our metabolism and how much we should really eat.
Complete with practical steps on how to lose weight, build muscle and support longevity in a sustainable way, The Protein Myth is the essential guide for anyone who wants to take a more informed approach to their health.
