Hi. It’s me. I have to tell you something. Your excuses aren’t valid.
I know you think they are.
They aren’t.
I’ve heard them all, I’ve used them all and I understand them. But…
I want more for you. I know you want more for you, too. So, today I’m breaking down three of the most common excuses I hear related to why you can’t do the work or why you can’t get results and flipping the script.
I don’t do this because I’m harsh or mean, I do this because the only way to change is to change.
If you change your mind, you can transform your life.
If you aren’t willing to change your mind, you probably won’t change anything.
So, your excuses aren’t valid. I love you but they’re not.
Take a listen to the full episode so I can explain why.
Understand that there is no magic number or perfect formula that will tell you how much protein you need.
The way to find out if you’re eating too much, not enough or the right amount is by listening to your body & monitoring your results.
A great way to tell that you’re getting the right amount of protein is when:
You’re making progress towards your goal (whatever your goal is)
You feel well (stable energy, stable mood, few cravings)
In almost all cases, you do not need to supplement to meet your protein needs. You can easily meet and even exceed your protein needs with whole foods.
Individuals will have higher protein needs when they are:
overweight
high level athletes
injured or ill
chronically stressed
suffering from adrenal fatigue
In general, you want to shoot to include protein at your meals and snacks. If you’re consuming a traditional diet of 3 meals and 2 snacks, you want to incorporate a serving of protein with all your meals and at least one of your snacks.
If you’re consuming fewer, larger meals, you can lean more towards a couple servings of protein with each meal. Remember, however, that these are guidelines for a starting point. Adjust based on your progress towards your goal and how you feel.
A serving of protein is 3-4 ounces of meat/fish, a couple of eggs or approximately 1 cup of greek yogurt.
