But alongside these benefits, clinicians and trainers are seeing a growing concern: rapid weight loss often brings unintended losses in muscle, strength, and physical capacity. At Six20 Strength, we believe understanding this trade-off is critical. Our blog breaks down the science, the risks, and the practical steps you can take to protect your body and your long-term health.

How much is safe? How much can I absorb? How much per meal? How much for muscle building? How much for fat loss? What are good sources? So many questions surround this topic for most people.

We hope to provide some clarity on the confusion surrounding protein intake using current research.
