7.) THREE BASIC WAYS YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH,FOR FREE,HOW MUCH PROTEIN TO BE EATING

** Upload from 4/28/22 **What is up my friends?! I am super pumped for today's episode bc it is loaded with practical ways you can start improving your health FOR FREE. And you can begin this starting today. These kinds of topics are my favorite because I absolutely love helping others learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle that is manageable and not out of reach or over complicated. It brings me back to my macro coaching days if any of you listening here were ever a part of that. I have gained so much insight to the diet culture world and had to unlearn a lot of unhelpful advice and information that I was given. I am here to break the mold, question what society says you should be doing, and shine some light on topics revolving around food, diet, wellness, and more. With that being said here's what 3 things I shared with you: 1. - Fasting (opt. paired with walking or light movement) Don't freak out, I'm not asking your to give up food for 24 hours or anything here. I share a general rule of thumb that is totally doable for anyone bc you are asleep most of the time you will be fasting. 12-14 hours is all for a basic starting point and that is healthy for women. I talk about the benefits of it and how pairing it with low intensity walking or biking can tap in to those fat stores.  2.- Protein Intake. Are you eating enough? Probably not. If you want to lose some weight, gain some muscle, and feel less hungry then this will help. Focus on adding in .5-.8g of protein per lb of bodyweight. ( ex. 135lb person would eat anywhere between 67-108g of protein) and for someone who is active, works out a lot, or wants to gain muscle close to .8g-1g protein per lb of bodyweight is ideal. We talk about why and some great sources and tips to try and fit it into your daily eating routine.  3. - Sugar Intake. We want to be mindful of our sugar consumption to set our body up for success. You'd be amazing how addicted we really are when we try to eliminate certain sources of sugar. It's ok to have but just be sure you are reading labels and understanding how much of the things you are buying contain sugar and how much a serving size is. This will reduce inflammation in the body, release weight, and just make you feel better in general. Your body will thank you. I hope you found this episode helpful and an encouragement that you CAN do this and start feeling better and achieving your wellness goals.
