Slow down!
Did you know that how fast you eat can influence your weight gain? Studies show that folks who eat more quickly are 115% more likely to be obese.

Protein is the most filling macronutrient. If your goal is to lose weight while retaining muscle mass, protein is your best friend. By including more protein in your diet, you can reduce calories while boosting your metabolism, increasing the number of calories you burn daily.
