How Much Protein Is Too Much? The 80-Gram Burger That Prompted the Question, Plus New Research on the Best Diet for Menopause
About this episode
Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell discuss the optimal protein intake and new dietary patterns for menopause.
Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell tackle the question the fitness industry avoids: how much protein is actually too much, prompted by a new fast food burger with 80 grams of protein per serve. Plus: a brand new JAMA Network Open study on the two dietary patterns most effective at preventing weight gain through menopause, including one that has never been discussed in mainstream menopause content, a high-fiber custard reviewed, and practical strategies for taking collagen and creatine consistently every day.
