When I asked my client what the biggest game changer has been for her during our time together:\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
\u201ceating enough protein\u201d, she said. \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
When we first started working together she was averaging around 70 grams of protein per day.<\/p>

Double that amount is what she actually needed! And when she FiNaLly started eating to her needs, she saw:
\u2063\u2063
\u2b06\ufe0f lean muscle mass\u2063\u2063
\u2b07\ufe0f body fat\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
But, what\u2019s arguably more important for a small business owner, wife and mom of two? \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
>> eliminated cravings for sweets and bread\u2063\u2063
>> feeling fuller, more satisfied after each meal\u2063\u2063
>> no more need for a mid day nap \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
Nagging injuries? Gone.\u2063\u2063
Progress? Accelerated. \u2063\u2063
Depressed mood? No more. \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
Now, maybe there were several reasons (like eating more total calories and carbohydrates) for her complete 180 in the way she looked, felt and performed. But, one of the biggest things was eating more protein.\u2063\u2063<\/p>
