Eat More Protein

Protein is having a moment right now

You are told more protein in your diet you should allow

Protein shakes have been popular, but these days

Protein is being incorporated into desserts in creative ways

Touted as guilt-free desserts because you can eat

A supersized protein-rich dessert instead of a modest sized treat

There are definitely times in life when more protein you need

Protein is good for growing children and post-surgical patients indeed

But the obsession with protein continues to grow

After all, fitness influencers with ripped bodies tell you so..

Low fat, low carb, keto, high protein

These diets make us think that wrong our traditional diets have been

Pushing us towards food ultra-processed

Which is ultra-inflammatory in excess

*

Healthy food has become harder to define

Every year a new diet is designed

To help people stay healthy and lose weight

There are many stakeholders deciding what goes on our plates
