High-quality protein is the most important food for losing belly fat. The most consistent indicator of leanness around the waist is a high-quality protein intake, which is defined as foods that contain a “threshold” amount of 10 grams of essential amino acids (EAAs). For example, a large study of young volunteers found that those who ate the 10-gram “threshold” dose of EAAs at every meal had the least belly fat, and the number of times they reached the EAA threshold was also significant. (Loenneke, J., Wilson, J., et al. Quality of Protein Intake is Inversely Related with Abdominal Fat. Nutrition and Metabolism. 2012. 9(5).

“My strategy in nutrition coaching is to focus on the positive – what things could we add to increase the variety of healthy foods in your routine? By focusing on adding more healthy choices, you will not feel deprived as you gradually leave out less nutritious choices. My goal is to help you get a personalized approach to wellness that you can achieve and maintain with your current lifestyle.”
