After losing 45lbs<\/a> and becoming a certified personal trainer and sports nutrition specialist, it’s safe to say I know what I’m talking about. This is the truth about weight loss.<\/p>\n

My Weight Loss Journey<\/h2>\n

When I first started out I had no clue what \u201chealthy weight loss\u201d really meant<\/strong> or how to maintain it.<\/p>\n

In the past I had always wanted to \u201close ten pounds this week\u201d<\/strong>, but I knew extreme diets didn\u2019t work long-term and I knew I needed to change things.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways to help your body burn fat<\/strong> is by increasing your protein intake<\/p>\n

I recommend you get at least 20g of protein<\/a> with each meal –<\/strong> that\u2019s roughly the size of your palm.<\/p>\n

I created LSF Plant Protein <\/a>as a clean, easy way to help women get the protein they need.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One scoop of LSF Plant Protein<\/strong> = 20g of protein, perfect for when you\u2019re short on time or to make sure you get enough each day!\u00a0<\/p>\n
