✨ **Protein Power for PCOS & Insulin Resistance!** ✨

✨ Did you know protein can be a *game-changer* when managing PCOS and insulin resistance? 🍗🌱 Not only does protein keep you feeling fuller longer, which helps with cravings and weight management, but it also plays a crucial role in blood sugar control. By slowing down digestion, protein reduces blood sugar spikes and helps regulate insulin levels—essential for PCOS management!

✨ One of my patients recently said to me, “when I eat a steak dinner I have so much energy, I could run a marathon.” It’s so true. Protein gives us so much energy and more.

🌟 **Why You Need Protein**
- Supports muscle maintenance and growth
- Balances blood sugar levels
- Helps with energy and mood stability
- Reduces cravings by keeping you full longer

💪 **Calculate Your Protein Needs!**
- To *maintain muscle mass*: 0.8g of protein per kg of body weight
- To *build muscle mass*: 1.2g per kg of body weight

✨ **if these numbers are very high for you I usually say to start off with at least 60g of protein in a day

✨ If you’re lifting weights or building muscle, that extra protein will boost muscle growth and help store more glucose in muscles, reducing blood sugar levels over time! 🏋️‍♀️ Fuel up with protein at every meal for your PCOS journey! 💚
