Here is the ONLY weight loss strategy to stick during the holiday season. Everything you do toward maintaining a healthy diet is great but if you can’t commit to anything else during this time, please commit to this:
Have 20 – 30 grams of protein at breakfast EVERY SINGLE DAY.
It’s simple, easy and cost-effective.
From Oct. 20th until the New Year (or any 2.5 month period over a major holiday or life event) your goal is to just get through, with your focus being to add 20-30 grams of protein at your breakfast.
Here are some examples of protein sources with 6-30 gram protein per serving:
- 2 scoops of protein powder (24 gm.): pea, whey, soy, hemp (average 2
