The look you make when you’re totes excited about your protein coffee...💁🏽♀️
. JK, This is real mom life and I was telling my son “no” as he tried to grab a very fragile glass blown pumpkin off the counter 😂 . But seriously, drinking protein coffee is one of the highlights of my day, not just because it tastes amazing, but that it also helps my body to burn fat for the most hours of the day. . Before I understood how my body worked, I would eat 2-3 small meals a day and snacks that I thought were going to help me lose weight, like an apple and rice crackers with a little cheese. . I followed the “calories in, calories out” formula for years, and figured that as long as I ate like a bird and kept it fairly light I would lose weight. . The problem was I wasn’t losing body fat. I would drop initially, but would often gain it back with an extra pound...or five, and struggled to put on lean muscle. . The culprit? Not getting enough protein in my diet. . The thing is, our bodies need about 0.8-1.2 grams of protein per lean body pound to function optimally, and on a good day, most of us aren’t getting 1/2 of that requirement. . In addition, we “eat light”, omitting protein from our snacks which means a high carb/fat mini-meal that signals our body to store fat. . So how do you fix this problem? . Consuming lean protein every 2-3 hours during the day with each meal, whether from whole food sources or a quality whey protein shake or bar. . Since making this switch a little over a year ago, I’ve been able to build more lean muscle while burning off stubborn post-partum body fat. . To be honest, I feel stronger and healthier than when I was in my 20s with no kids...weird right? . At the end of the day, protein has been the major game changer for me, and so many of my clients as well. . If you struggle with getting enough protein in your diet, I would love to help find where you can incorporate more from quality sources to help you get the best results!
