Summer Refresher: The Importance of Protein
Just in case you need a quick refresher, eating lighter or eating healthier doesn’t mean skimping on foods high in protein! Although salads are often associated with weight loss, you’ll need the protein these salads have to offer because your body doesn’t store protein for later. Although it gladly stores fat, am I right?!
You need to keep eating protein to have enough, and it’s involved in super important functions like building immune cells and repairing your muscles to help increase your metabolism. If you don’t consume enough protein, your muscles can breakdown. Instead of losing fat, you can lose the lean muscle you worked hard to build!
That’s why I’ve made this recipe eBook with delicious salads that give you plenty of protein in each serving!

Best Weight Loss Tips for Summer
Who wants to think about dieting when summer is here? I know it’s on a lot of people’s minds as they try to fit back into last summer’s clothes and bathing suits. Here are a few tips so you can eat healthily without it being a main focus on your summer to-do list:
- stop eating before you’re full
- try to eat s..l..o..w..l..y..
- base your meals around lean protein and veggies
- opt for fruit for dessert
- set time limits, like 3-4 hours between snacks and meals
- try to start your day with at least 15g+ of protein
- plan out/buy healthy snacks in advance – don’t rely on what’s convenient when you’re hungry
- limit your carbs to one or two palm-sized portions at each meal- stick to one (or less!) if weight loss is slow for you. Choose real food carb sources as much as possible
