Sign up for Me on the 30 Day Protein Problem!

I am on the point of do a 30 Day Protein Challenge and I’m inviting you to join me!

Why a Protein Challenge?



Do you know how much protein you’re getting day to day? Do you know if it is enough to support healthy muscle maintenance and to prevent age-related muscle loss? Did you know that age-related muscle loss can begin at a much younger age than you might think? Are you like most people who tend to have a “skewed” intake of protein throughout the day – in other words, not much at breakfast and most of it at dinnertime? Do you know what foods in your diet are providing protein and how much they provide? Do you know what sources are considered high quality protein?



As a registered dietitian nutritionist and a certified diabetes educator, I don’t think protein gets as much attention as it should. It’s just as important to know about your protein intake as it is to know about other nutrients in your diet.



That’s why I’m working as a consultant to the Beef Checkoff, and am proud to serve on their Beef Expert Bureau and help them launch this 30 Day Protein Challenge. It’s a great way to take a closer look at your diet and learn about your habits, your hunger, and how balanced your diet really is (or isn’t). I’ve done a test run on this challenge and was surprised to learn some very interesting things about my own diet that I didn’t know before – even though I’m a dietitian! I can’t wait to share those learnings with you and also hear (and share) what others are learning on their protein journey.

GET WITH THE PLAN:



I invite you to do the 30 Day Challenge WITH me! You can start any time, but I’m starting on Monday, April 13th and will be sharing my experience, thoughts and insight throughout the 30 days via my blog, podcast and social media accounts like twitter, facebook and instagram. I’ll be doing this with my awesome “Protein Partner” and healthy living blogger, Heather Shugarman. I’m really looking forward to some great discussions with Heather that we will share with you in a variety of ways on social media!



Getting started is quite easy – all you have to do is pay attention to what you’re eating for the first week. Then, over the next few weeks, you slowly ramp up to adjusting the amount of protein you are getting at each meal.
