Description
Is your "healthy" high protein diet actually stopping you from losing weight? Learn why lean protein and constant grazing might be the hidden cause of your insulin resistance and how to fix it.
In this video, we dive deep into the metabolic mechanisms of mTOR and AMPK to explain why the way you eat protein matters more than the amount. We cover the 3 protein mistakes that stall fat burning and provide a step-by-step protocol to help you avoid insulin spike from protein.
