How do you get enough protein and fibre every day? It can sometimes feel like you have to choose a side. You’re either focused on hitting your protein target or trying to eat more fibre. But both matter for muscle and bone health, gut health, appetite, energy and keeping you fuller for longer. My guest today describes protein and fibre as the dynamic duo 🤝. The goal is to get enough of both without one crowding out the other. Dominique Ludwig is an accredited nutritionist and registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She’s also the author of the brilliant new book No-Nonsense Nutrition. In this conversation, we get really practical about how to get enough of both, what that actually looks like on your plate, and how to do it without tracking every gram you eat.
