and

Adequate salt intake during Phase 1:

Helps you maintain proper hydration
Reduces headaches and fatigue
Supports electrolyte balance
Helps prevent “keto flu” symptoms

It’s normal to crave something now and then—humans are hardwired to seek sweet tastes. You might be fighting more sweet cravings than normal because of stress and other uncertainties.

However, you don’t want to allow your sweet tooth to keep you from reaching your weight loss goals.

Ever wonder why late-night cravings hit *harder* when you're tired?

Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones, decreasing leptin and increasing ghrelin.

Ghrelin and leptin are opposing hormones regulating appetite and energy balance. Ghrelin ("hunger hormone") is produced by the stomach to increase appetite, while leptin ("satiety hormone") is released by fat cells to suppress appetite and signal fullness.

Poor sleep messes with your hunger hormones – ghrelin goes up (hunger!), leptin goes down (no fullness signal!). Plus, cortisol rises, telling your body to store fat.

Prioritize 7-9 hours of sleep. Your will power will thank you. Your body will too.

Question of the day .
Why are cooked onions not allowed on the Ideal Protein protocol?

Cooking breaks the long-chained sugars of an onion (which digest slowly) into to short-chained sugars (small sugar molecules that are easily absorbed).

The easily absorbed sugar molecules raise blood glucose and consequently cause
a “blast of insulin” to be released.

This is counter-productive to the protocol and true whether you sauté or bake them.
