FollowNot consuming enough protein can lead to several health issues, especially for women over 50. Some common signs of insufficient protein intake include fatigue and weakness, muscle loss and decreased strength, brittle hair and nails, excessive hair fall, dry and thinning skin, and a weakened immune system.
That is why it’s important to include enough protein in our daily diet, whether from plant-based sources or lean animal protein.
I try to include protein in every meal. My morning usually starts with a glass of water, followed by walnuts and roasted black beans, an orange, and a cup of decaf coffee with flaxseed meal and milk.
For my mid-morning breakfast, I usually have 2 eggs, sourdough or sprouted wheat bread with black sesame spread, a cup of sugar-free hot cocoa, and some groundnuts (the kind with shells), pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
I have been following a high-protein, low-carb diet since the year 2000, after being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), now officially known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). It is an insulin resistance and metabolic disorder that can also contribute to infertility.
A low-carb, high-protein diet can help manage PCOS by stabilizing blood sugar levels, reducing insulin resistance, supporting weight management, and improving hormonal balance.
I got my roasted black beans from Shopee, link here>> https://s.shopee.com.my/60ORvelHTK
