3 Reasons to Eat Higher Protein Foods on a Plant-Based Diet

1) Protein contains the building blocks for more muscle mass, as well as helps with recovery. Eat more protein and create a stronger, more toned and leaner body that burns more calories even at rest.

2) Higher protein foods are more satiating, meaning they help you feel fuller longer. Curb those unhealthy cravings by eating more whole foods which are high in protein. And when you need a desert or an indulgence, grab a plant-based protein shake instead of that dairy free ice cream!

3) Protein has the highest Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) out of all of the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fats.) All foods require calories to be burnt just to digest and processed, but protein has the highest amount of calories burned through this process, (20-30% of total calories compared to 3-10% for carbs and fats.) Therefore, even if you kept your calorie intake the same, a higher ratio of protein in your diet will lead to more calories being burnt overall.

Stronger at 38 than ever before 💪

1) Weights and the Gym - You don’t need weights or a gym membership to get fit and strong. All you need is your body and consistency. Thinking I needed a gym kept me from reaching my goals and staying consistent due to travel time, contracts, moving around etc. Calisthenics and bodyweight movement solved that for me for good.

2) Meat and Animal Foods - You don’t need meat or animal products to be healthy, fit, or to build strength and muscle. I haven’t eaten meat in 13 years and I keep getting stronger. Plant foods have everything we need, and is where the animals most people eat get their nutrition.

3) Crazy High Amounts of Protein - You need way less protein than you think. 0.6-0.8g per lb of bodyweight is the max needed for muscle growth and recovery, not 1g.

4) Caffeine - It’s a drug and causes more harm than good. I never needed it so I wish I didn’t even start. I just needed to sleep more and eat better.

5) Fat Loss Supplements and Random Diets - Fat loss really is so simple. It’s all about calories in versus calories out, and tracking your calories to ensure changes are happening.

6) Alcohol - I never drank until I was in my 20s, but I wished I never even started. Almost 10 years alcohol free now though. It’s a poison and does zero good for our bodies.

7) Processed Junk Food - My diet was normal for an 18 year old. Processed junk. I wish I knew about making whole food meals back then and focusing on varieties of plant foods.

8) Self Doubt - Man if I could see where I would be in 20 years, I would have had such an easier time at 18. Letting go of self doubt has been a huge part of my growth, but it wasn’t easy.

What things would you avoid if you were 18 again?

130g Protein, 0 Crazy Recipes!

🌱 Comment RECIPE for my Plant-Based Power Recipe Book which contains these recipes and more!

There’s no need to have crazy elaborate recipes to make vegan food or to hit your protein goals as a vegan.

Science shows that 0.6g-0.8g per lb of bodyweight is the upper limit of protein needs for adults working on gaining muscle, which means hitting your max protein goals is definitely within reach.

Simplicity is key, and it starts with keeping high protein foods as the center focus in your diet.

For example, you’ll see that when I add two protein sources, like tempeh and black beans, the total protein per meal raises exponentially.

💪 If you’re ready for some simple muscle building plant-based recipes, comment RECIPE, and I’ll send my Recipe Book over!

Much love,

A day in the life of a woman who can’t lose weight:

You have coffee and maybe a light breakfast and then you’re off to a busy work day.

You maybe eat something small for lunch, or you might skip it entirely.

When you do eat, you mainly make healthy choices and have salads and eat your vegetables.

You limit carbs because that would mean instant fat gain…but you secretly crave them.

You painstakingly walk 10-12k steps a day and exercise multiple times a week to burn off the food you just ate.

You can’t be around certain foods without feeling like you’ll binge.

You’re dealing with excess fat weight, but also have noticed the loss of muscle in your arms and legs.

You restrict and make all of these sacrifices, try to follow all of the diets and tips online and in magazines, but still….you can’t lose any weight.

You’re putting in max effort, but getting minimal results, if any.

So what do you do from here?

Cut calories and restrict even more?

Go 100% low carb?

Go get hormone replacement therapy?

Well here’s the reason you can’t lose weight.

It’s not carbs. It’s not your hormones. It’s not your effort. It’s not menopause.

It’s your metabolism.

About 70% of the calories you need everyday are needed to just keep you alive.

So if you’re eating less food than you did when you were a kid, your metabolism will be moving even slower than that number on the scale that isn’t dropping.

Instead of restricting further, maybe the answer is increasing the nutrition your body needs to run at 100%.

When you fuel your body properly with high quality protein, fat AND carb sources, your body can thrive.

THEN you can put yourself in a position to lose weight, because right now your body would prefer to hold onto fat and lose the little muscle you have.

If you’re ready to unlock your metabolism, lose the weight, and maintain your transformation for good, drop the word ‘METABOLISM’ below and I’ll run you through my 3 step process to find the new you.

Moderation is overrated.

Make sure you read that correctly.

It says moderation, not motivation.

Although motivation is also overrated.. that's a topic for another day.

As a broad stroke, general concept.. there's nothing wrong with moderation.

I've probably even mentioned it numerous times.

"Just do that in moderation."

"Just consume in moderation."

It's well-intentioned advice.

However, the reason why I think it's kind of overrated...

Is because it's totally subjective.

What does "moderation" even mean?

If I'm eating dessert 3x per week is that moderation?

What about 4x per week?

What if the 3x per week person is eating a whole tray of cookies each time they indulge and the 4x per week person is only eating 2?

Which one is moderate?

Are either of them?

It depends on who you ask.

And therein lies the rub.

It's hard to define moderation and it can look totally different depending on the person.

Many coaches like to give broad stroke answers because they have a hard time explaining nuance and context.

IG Bro Coach: just do it

IG Health Guru: moderation

How about we actually explain what we're talking about and how it applies to each individual.

What a novel concept.

Well, the actual definition of "moderation" is the avoidance of excess or extremes.

Again... super subjective.

Rather than guessing, we like to be very specific and intentional with our clients.

We first discuss their non-negotiables.

What are the things you absolutely love to do, eat, drink, etc that you don't want to give up?

For many, it's some form of food, social gatherings, occasional indulgences, and their favorite snacks or desserts.

Great. We make sure those stay in tact.

Then, we have the honest conversation about "moderation."

The reality is this...

We want to begin this process with the MOST amount of flexibility possible.

However, we're going to quickly see how you're responding and progressing and will be able to determine what moderation actually looks like for you.

Meaning.. we may need to dial things in and make some sacrifices here and there if you want to see progress.

Cool?

Cool.

In practice, it looks like this...

My client Sarah is able to have 2 cookies every night and still lose weight.

They're down almost 15lbs since starting with me.

My client Alyssa is able to take the entire weekend off from all things weight loss. They go out with friends, have some food out, enjoy the weekend, and are still making progress.

They've completely transformed their relationship with food and the weekend and are down over 20lbs already.

I could keep going with dozens of examples and they would all look different.

Which is the point I'm making here.

Moderation will look and feel differently depending on the person.

Most people struggle to figure this out on their own.

They often vacillate between chaos and rigidity.

Meaning.. they're either trying to be 100% perfect all the time...

OR they burn themselves out and say forget it all.

That's why my clients feel a giant sense of relief from the very beginning of our time together.

We're able to figure out the exact level of flexibility and moderation for each client so they can enjoy life while still reaching their goals.

This is a major part of my Fit Body Blueprint, which is the 3rd pillar of my program.

The first two phases are Metabolic Priming and Fat Loss Acceleration.

Once we implement those 3 phases, the results are inevitable.

1:1 coaching is the most sure-fire way to reach your goals and stay there.

So if you're ready to just make it happen so you never have to worry about it ever again...

Comment on this post or message me with the word 'DETAILS' and let me know.

I'll respond and we'll see if it's a good fit.

Congrats to Judy for dropping 10lbs in less than 2 months on my Fit Vegan Body Blueprint program!

Results like these are normal when you have these 3 things dialed in:

Calories, protein and resistance training.

Many of us over or undereat on calories, don’t get enough protein, and either don’t resistance train or don’t do it effectively.

Well not Judy! She has been showing up since Day 1 and has been taking action on a proven system, hence why she’s getting such great results!!

Let’s congratulate Judy and wish her even more success!!! 💪
