In this episode, I discuss the negative effects of chronically under-eating. By sharing my personal story from the past, I aim to make sure you don't make the same nutrition mistakes I did. My unhealthy food habits led to nutrient deficiencies, broken bones, susceptibility to injury, and poor mental/physical health. This episode sheds light on each macronutrient and why they are essential for overall health and well being.
You will learn the function and significance of a well balanced diet consisting of healthy protein, carbohydrates, and fats. I also discuss my favorite macronutrient sources and how you can find the right protein powder for your goals and needs! I hope this episode inspires you and informs you on the essentials of fueling your body with the right foods verses continuously restricting and "yo-yo" dieting.
Whether you're active, sedentary, young or old, this episode guides you through the role of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in your diet, and how they impact everything—from cravings to mood swings. Learn why chronic under eating can sabotage more than just your fitness goals and stick around for tailored weight loss protein powder recommendations.
Remember: Your mental and physical well-being is in your hands, and proper nutrition is the key!
