‘Make sure you don’t repeat it’: Gastroenterologist reveals key mistake made during weight loss journey

Indian Express·2h ago·Positivity

What Happened

A gastroenterologist identified inadequate protein intake as his primary weight loss error. Dieticians explain that insufficient protein reduces muscle mass, slowing metabolism and increasing illness risk. Conversely, excess protein without strength training adds calories, potentially causing weight gain. Experts recommend protein pacing—consuming optimal protein amounts at regular intervals—to improve satiety, maintain muscle, and enhance metabolism for sustainable weight loss.
