Protein steals the spotlight, but hot and healthy girls eat their fiber, too! Fiber is one of the most important nutrients for overall health and longevity, but less than 5% (😮‍💨!!) of american’s are consuming enough… Let’s change that!

Women, especially in the perinatal or postpartum phase, consuming enough fiber is one of the simple ways you can support your pelvic floor! It also helps keep you full/satiated so if you are somebody who is trying to lose weight… you’ll want to prioritize this! Sick often? Fiber acts as food for the good gut bacteria which supports your immune system!

comment ‘fiber’ and i’ll send over my fiber cheat sheet with more sources and nutrition facts.

There are no quick fixes or short timelines to real, sustainable progress. If it sounds too good to be true.. it likely is! 🤍

Confidence and feeling proud of yourself comes from investing in and committing to the process — doing the hard, yet rewarding work!

Can you relate with or need to hear any of these?!

A day of eats, but make it a “our-refrigerator-is-currently-out-of commission” version 😅 — so this is all with freezer & pantry items. Hope you find this helpful for ways you can still prioritize high quality protein and fiber sources even when you need to lean into convenience based options a bit more!!

My general goal is building meals around a protein and fiber source as this supports hormones, muscle, energy, better digestion, etc. Without being able to keep fresh items on hand — I stocked up on some pantry/freezer staples to continue making that possible & so we aren’t leaning on drive thrus, takeout or overdoing it with bars/shakes until it’s repaired. 😆

I do not always track, but this particular day I ended around 150g protein and >30g fiber.
