Spice Up Your Protein Routine with These 4 Recipes!
Protein is so important for bariatric patients, especially during rapid weight loss!
Bariatric patients commonly loose between 25-40% of their lean muscle during the first year post-op. One of the best ways to maintain muscle is by getting 30 grams of high- quality protein 3 times each day.
Protein shakes are one of the easiest ways to get 30-30-30, but here are a few other creative ways to get protein every day that we know you will enjoy.
