Gina, So during your wl phase to get to goal are your strictly monitoring carbs and protein or are you counting it all...carbs, fat, protein, total calories? I'm freaking out a bit here cause I just don't see how I can live off a 1000 or under calorie diet, actually I know me and I can't!!!!!!!

I never count calories. I count protein grams to make sure I'm getting 120g or better and I count net carbs to try to stay under 50g a day...that's when I'm really trying to lose. I also increase plain water and try to do several flights of stairs every hour. That's it.

B - 2 scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese

Good Morning Gina:

im interested in your high protein coffee. What's your recipe for your 90g protein coffee? What type of coffee do you use? What is the purpose of the coconut oil - I've never used it before? Does this mix make the coffee taste good?

I've been really curious for some time now. ?

I am also interested Gina?

Here you go!

Brew a pot of your favorite coffee.
In a 20oz blender bottle with wire ball, add 6 oz of 1/2 & 1/2, a dash of cinnamon, a tablespoon of coconut oil, and a heaping scoop of vanilla Syntrax Nectar protein powder.
Shake about 5 seconds.
Top off the blender bottle with hot coffee.
Cover and tilt gently to blend.

Enjoy!

I drink about 3 protein coffees through the morning, so it's not 90g of protein at one time. The coconut oil is just a really healthy oil and it helps the skin not be so dry. I use it on the inside through bulletproof coffees and on the outside when I rub a little under my eyes. lol
