"When I thought about how much protein I currently ate or ate prior to giving up meat, I don't know if it was anywhere near enough. And I wonder if that hindered some of my fitness efforts in some way."

"Having looked at hundreds of food diaries and anecdotal stories and thinking about how I've eaten, I think we get way too many carbohydrates in, probably not enough good fats, too many bad fats, and not enough protein"

 

Announcements:

On Friday, the 12th of May, we will be running a free webinar on burnout:

What to look for

What are the signs and symptoms both in yourself, and crucially, in other people

What can you do about it?

What are the interventions?

So this is really aimed at HR managers, HR directors, heads of people, chief people officers, who run organizations where you really care about people, you wanna lead with wellbeing, and you don't wanna turn a blind eye to the instances of burnout, which are happening in pretty much every organization. So, look out for that webinar, free to sign up for, very much hope to see you there if that's your cup of tea: Burnout at Work Webinar (https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/upcoming-events/burnout-at-work/)
