With every decade, women lose bone mass and need to increase their protein consumption. This book gives exactly that, though its main audience is everyone.I love the fact that the book is separated into two sections--the first one explaining why protein matters. Nowadays it's popular not to eat meat. However, meat has vital enzymes and nutrients that are not found in plant-based proteins. Kudos to the author!!!!! As a registered dietitian (MS, RD, CDN, FAND) and Wall Street Journal bestselling author with over 20 years of experience, Toby Amidor really knows her stuff and backs everything with solid science. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat plants--on the contrary: eat both!Love that the author also suggests both animal and plant protein powders.It also gives clear information on how much protein we need at different stages of life! The rule of thumb for healthy adults up to forty is about 0.
8 grams per kg of body weight--but the book explains why many of us (especially with training or aging) need more.There's a great section on meal prepping--the author suggests doing it twice a week. In my past, I used to meal prep at least once a week, and it ensured I always had healthy food ready.There are also different cooking techniques for meat--this will definitely up my chops game!The author provides ready meal plans tailored for peri/post-menopausal women, for a 35-year-old woman and man, and more.Love that there are ready recipes for shakes and smoothies, high-protein breakfasts, salads, sandwiches and wraps, plant-based options, fish and seafood, poultry, side dishes, and even desserts. I will definitely try making the PB and raspberries smoothie.I definitely recommend this book to everyone--especially if you're into strength training, metabolic health, or just want tasty ways to boost protein without going extreme. It's a game-changer!.
