Why a high-protein diet?
Essentially, protein is one of the three major nutrients (along with carbohydrates and fats) that your body needs to function properly.
It plays a vital role in the growth, repair and maintenance of tissues throughout the body. It supports weight loss and weight management.
Consuming the right amount of protein (or just above the minimum requirement) can help support your body and overall health goals by controlling appetite, improving feelings of fullness (also known as satiety), and helping regulate blood sugar.

How the program works
Each day of the program contains three modules, each taking approximately three to four minutes to complete:

- fact: Read daily mini lessons to learn about the power of protein
- Tips and Recipes: Receive daily tips, shopping lists, and recipes to get more protein into your diet.
How you complete the plan is up to you: you can choose to complete all the mods in one day, follow a 7-day plan in a course or week, or work your way through the content slowly – taking a month, or, heck, even a year.
This is your journey to making better food choices. We’re just here to support whatever pace works for you.
