Have you tried the long list of "healthy" recommendations to feel full with a "better" amount of food but still struggle? Today, we wanted to bring you some better tips from Ashley Koff RD, founder of The Better Nutrition Program and a 25+ year expert in personalised nutrition.
- Don't drink more water - optimise hydration. If you just keep drinking water - and peeing it out - you are a hose, not a sponge, and your body's cells don't have what they need to help you feel full. Try the Hydration experiment to see if you need to improve your hydration.
- Eat more glu - the lining of your digestive tract is where the hormone that helps signal leptin lives, another hormone to sense that you've had fuel and should feel full. Thus, you need to make sure it is intact and not leaky. Glutamine is an amino acid that helps to do that and is found in foods with protein (nuts, beans, seeds, animal meats, eggs, dairy, etc.); however, only about 6% of their protein is glutamine. That means if your protein serving is 27g (like a 110g steak), your amount of protein is about 1-1.5 grams. On average, we want about 5 grams of glutamine daily.
"Last but not least, keep taking your Calocurb! I am so thrilled to finally have a tool to use with patients that works by naturally activating GLP-1. The results my patients are having are phenomenal, and I want you to experience it, too."
