Скачать или смотреть nobody is talking about how protein doesn't give you energy

I was standing in a smoothie shop the other day, and the shelves were lined with protein powders and bars. Almost every smoothie on the menu had whey protein added. And I turned to my husband and said, “This protein craze feels just like the low-fat craze of the 80s… everyone’s doing it, but no one’s asking the right questions.”

Here’s the truth: protein doesn’t give you energy. Your body uses protein for repair, enzymes, and building muscle. But for energy? Your cells actually run best on carbohydrates and fats. When you’re dragging at 2pm or too tired to fold the laundry or play with your kids, protein isn’t the fuel you’re missing.

So what should you do instead?
✨ Choose complex carbs like apples, quinoa, and lentils—they release steady glucose without the crash.
✨ Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil—these stabilize blood sugar and extend energy.
✨ Prioritize oxygen intake (yes, oxygen!)—when fuel combines with oxygen, your cells create 17x more energy than fuel alone. That’s why I talk so much about airway health.

The bottom line: don’t get caught up in the protein hype if what you’re craving is energy. Your body is wired for balanced fuel—and when you give it what it really needs, you’ll have the energy to actually live well.
