In this episode, Ben explains how low protein intake increases hunger, slows fat burning, and drives cravings. Your brain is wired to seek protein, and if you don’t get enough, you’ll keep eating until you do. Most “healthy” diets are actually low in protein. Foods like oatmeal, smoothies, toast, and granola may seem nutritious but often lack the protein needed to stabilize blood sugar and keep you full. Ben breaks down the science behind the protein leverage hypothesis and explains why calories alone don’t determine fat loss. Hormones like insulin play a major role, and protein helps regulate them. You’ll learn: Why low protein leads to cravings and fat storage How protein stabilizes blood sugar and boosts metabolism The thermic effect of protein and its fat-burning advantage How much protein you actually need daily Simple ways to increase protein, starting with breakfast Ben also shares practical strategies, including: Eating 30–40g of protein per meal Structuring meals around protein first Reducing snacking to improve insulin levels Plus, he answers common questions about protein myths, metabolism, and stubborn belly fat. 🎯 Key takeaway:Fat loss isn’t about eating less. It’s about eating smarter and giving your body the protein it needs to function properly. 📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.
