A major goal in the battle against obesity in Scotland is to develop strategies that result in healthy and sustainable weight loss.

Dr Alex Johnstone from the Rowett Institute at the University of Aberdeen is a leading expert on how protein, from both plants and animals, can help to minimise hunger, improve metabolic health and assist with weight loss. In this episode you’ll discover the science behind why protein makes you “feel full” and other top ways to minimise hunger.

Alex will explain how different protein sources impact your body, how often we should eat protein, why protein at breakfast is a good idea and the importance of variety. She’ll dispel myths surrounding high protein diets and kidney function, why more than 30g of protein per serving doesn’t “go to waste”, her thoughts on organic meat vs conventional meat and why she thinks we should potentially be eating more protein from plants!
