Key Takeaways:

1. Understand Macronutrients: Learn the importance of balancing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in your diet to sustain energy and overall health.


2. Start with Protein: Increasing protein intake can help improve energy levels, satiety, and overall well-being. Aim for your body weight in grams of protein.


3. Incorporate Movement: Small, consistent actions like walking while your kids play can significantly improve your fitness. Prioritize movement in your daily routine.


4. Meal Prepping Simplified: Doubling dinner recipes to have lunch ready for the week can save time and ensure you’re eating nutritious meals consistently.


5. Track and Adjust: Tracking your food and movement helps increase awareness and allows for better adjustments to meet your health goals. It’s not about perfection but consistent improvement.
