This is the protein episode. Why you need it, how much you need and how to get it.

Protein is the foundation of a nourishing, satisfying, satiating diet and is essential if you are working on fat loss. If you’ve ever wondered about your protein goal for weight loss, you’ll get the answer here.

In today’s episode I’m covering all of the specifics you need to know without getting over complex or too science-y.

On episode 123 of The Diet Diaries I’m talking with plus size model, digital creator and founder of the Properly Fitting Bra Club, Caralyn Mirand Koch.

I’ve been inspired by and learning from Caralyn for several years on Instagram and am thrilled to have her on the podcast as a resource for our community.

Caralyn shows up in a way that is real, relatable and authentically herself and that’s why I have followed along on her journey for so long. I have tried and loved not just bras, makeup and clothes she’s suggested, but also learned so much from her about living confidently in a fuller body.

What would happen if you took care of yourself the way you took care of everyone else in your life?

That’s the question I’m asking in Episode 122 of The Diet Diaries around self care.

We tend to think of self care as getting a massage or a facial, binge watching Netflix, going out for dinner with friends.

And that all counts and has value.

But what about learning how to change eating habits? Improving negative body image?

Isn’t that self care too?

To me, self care is about the quality of our attention and whether how we’re spending our time is taking us closer to our values or farther away.
