The Protein Trick that Shrinks Belly Fat in Literally Days

My husband lost 63 pounds in a few months by eating lots of protein and deleting sugar. He beat T2 Diabetes and HBP too.

Here’s the main idea of that video summarized clearly and directly: 1. **Protein “Threshold” Rule** – You need to reach a certain protein intake before your body’s appetite shuts off and fat-burning mechanisms activate. * The key number: **0.6–0.7 g of protein per pound of body weight** (≈1.3–1.6 g/kg). * Example: A 77 kg person should aim for ~100–120 g protein daily. 2. **Eat Protein Early** – Hitting your protein target **early in the day** helps control appetite for the rest of the day because it signals your brain that you’ve met your protein needs. 3. **After Workouts** – Exercise, especially cardio, **temporarily raises your protein target**. * Within 2 hours post-workout, add **30–50 g extra protein** (or EAAs) to prevent overeating later. 4. **Meal Timing Tips** * **Morning:** Protein + healthy fats → helps satiety (GLP-1 mechanism). * **Lunch:** Fast-absorbing protein to avoid overeating. * **Dinner:** Put most of your carbs here, after protein needs are met. 5. **Appetite Control Hacks** * **Apple cider vinegar** → produces acetate, curbs hunger. * **Salt/electrolytes** → low sodium triggers hunger; balance helps suppress it. * **Calcium-rich protein** (dairy, sardines, yogurt) → doubles appetite control (protein + calcium). * **Multivitamin in the morning** → may reduce appetite by meeting micronutrient needs. 6. **Key Concept** – Hunger isn’t just about calories; it’s your body signaling unmet **nutrient needs** (especially protein, calcium, and sodium). 7. **Bottom Line** – * Prioritize **high-quality protein early** (and post-workout if you train). * Use **apple cider vinegar, salt, calcium, and proper carb timing** to stay satiated. * Calories still matter, but **nutrient balance** matters more for appetite and fat loss.

Bear in mind, the more protein you digest, the more magnesium you need. I'm taking around 600 mg/day now, to keep my muscles happy.

Love the advice about the egg shells. 40 years ago a wonderful friend of mine was crushing egg shells in her garden. Me being an East-coast teenager at the time I found it very strange to see this practice. Now my friend who is 90 years old and still crushing the egg shells in her garden, she told me that her grandmother from Mexico taught her how to garden……..WISDOM!!!

My Nutrient-Dense Meal Plan is FREE. Comprehensive, yet simple to understand: http://www.thomasdelauer.com/eatrealfood - no strings attached, just a thank you for watching my vids and joining my newsletter. Hope you have success with it!

I lost 26 kg this year. And I listened to Dr. Stacy Sims. She also recommended 30-50 Gramm of Protein close to waking up. I drink a protein shake each morning after walking my dog. Plus 2 high protein meals a day. And my food noise is completely gone. ❤

This makes so much sense, I don't over eat when I am eating protein. If I have comfort food like mash potatoes or pasta, I can't stop eating and have cravings all evening.

that has been known for a while for chickens. They eat until they get enough protein, regardless of the protein % of the feed. so if you need them to eat more calories, you have to decrease the protein in the feed.

Bro, I’ve been watching all your videos since like about 12 years now and I just want to say thank you it’s been great to help and help me become the monster I am today

I am a 62 yr old man, was T2 pre diabetic 2 years ago with a 6.3 A1C. Cut sugar, most carbs, refined food, etc. Now 45 lbs lighter, no more high blood pressure and an A1C number of 5.4, even cured my athletes foot problem.
