🎃 REVEALED: Can Pumpkin Spice REALLY Help You Lose Weight?

By Jay Nixon | August 31, 2023 |

Can you feel changing of the season? Or am I just too eager to jump into fall (and my collection of fuzzy socks)?🤣

 

Either way, we all know what’s on the horizon…

 

A season brimming with apple pies, pumpkin spiced lattes, and maybe a Halloween candy (or ten). And while indulging in these fall treats is part of the season’s joy, it can also bring on a season of weight gain.

 

FACT: The average person will gain 5-20 POUNDS from Halloween to New Year’s Day.😳

 

But, fear not! Before we dive headfirst into this flavorful season, I’ve got a simple solution for you so you can enjoy the season AND lose weight… PROTEIN.

 

Protein is the 🔑 to weight loss. It’s a secret weapon that can supercharge your weight loss efforts and help you achieve your goals faster.

 

Here’s why:

 

1️⃣ Satisfies Hunger: Protein is incredibly satiating, meaning it keeps you feeling fuller for longer. Say goodbye to those pesky cravings that sabotage your progress!

 

2️⃣ Boosts Metabolism: Did you know that your body burns more calories digesting protein compared to fats or carbohydrates? It’s true! By incorporating more protein into your meals, you can rev up your metabolism, making your weight loss journey even more efficient. ​

 

3️⃣ Preserves Lean Muscle: Protein plays a crucial role in preserving and building lean muscle. When combined with exercise, it helps sculpt your physique and gives you that toned, fit look you desire.

 

Wondering how to get your protein fix with a fall twist? Dive into these lip-smacking, tummy-satisfying recipes featuring our Thrive ELITE Protein. And yes, they’re seasonally approved by yours truly.😁
