A few months ago, I was stuck. I weighed 66.6 kg , my waist measured 30 inches , and despite feeling like I was trying to eat "healthy", the scale wasn't moving. I would often feel hungry shortly after eating and found myself reaching for snacks, pastries, cookies, and other convenience foods throughout the day. At first, I thought my problem was carbohydrates. I blamed ugali, sweet potatoes, fruit, and rice. What I discovered was surprising. The real issue wasn't carbohydrates themselves. It was that many of the foods I was eating weren't keeping me full. In August, I decided to focus on one thing: eating more protein . I started tracking my meals and gradually increased foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, beans, liver, Greek yoghurt, and protein shakes. Instead of trying to eat less, I focused on eating foods that would satisfy me for longer. The change was almost immediate. For the first time, I found myself saying: "I'm full." That sounds simple...
