JOHN AND KELLY, CAITLIN MARCH IS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH. IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE YOUR DIET TO HEALTHIER FOODS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE NOT SURE WHERE TO START. YEAH, WE’RE JOINED TODAY BY MARY HURLBURT, WHO’S A PERSONAL TRAINER AND COACH AT LIFETIME OMAHA. MARY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. YEAH, WE APPRECIATE YOU FOR GETTING UP EARLY. SO QUICKLY, TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE BROUGHT WITH YOU TODAY. SO I HAVE SOME HIGH PROTEIN OPTIONS. I’M THAT I’M GOING TO GO OVER WITH YOU. SO PROTEIN IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT FOR A HEALTHY DIET. SEX WITH THE FIRST PLACE I HAVE MY CLIENTS START WHEN THEY’RE COMING TO ME, LOOKING TO MAKE A CHANGE. SO PROTEIN IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OVERALL MAKING YOU FEEL FULLER LONGER. IT’S GOING TO KIND OF CROWD OUT THOSE LESS DESIRABLE FOODS IN YOUR DIET SO YOU’RE LESS LIKELY TO WANT TO HAVE THOSE SUGARY SNACKS OR THOSE PROCESSED FOODS IF YOU JUST HAD A PROTEIN RICH MEAL. THEY’RE ALSO GREAT FOR INCREASING BONE MASS AND LEAN MUSCLE MASS. OKAY. SO SOME OF THE LIKE I SEE THESE ARE LIKE KIND OF BEEF STEAKS, IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH. OKAY. SO THESE ARE PRODUCTS THAT WE CARRY IN OUR LIFE CAFE LIFETIME OMAHA. SO THE FIRST THING WE HAVE HERE IS OUR PROTEIN POWDERS. SO THESE ARE GREAT. YOU CAN JUST TAKE A SCOOP. YOU CAN MIX IT UP IN ONE OF OUR STAINLESS STEEL SHAKER BOTTLES AND JUST KIND OF TAKE IT ON WHEREVER YOU GO THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY. WE HAVE WHEY AND VEGAN OPTIONS HERE, SO NO MATTER YOUR LIFESTYLE, YOU CAN KIND OF FIND A PROTEIN POWDER FOR YOU. WE ALSO HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT BARS AND EVEN A PROTEIN COOKIE HERE THAT’S REALLY POPULAR WITH KIDS. AND AGAIN, VEGAN AND WHEY PROTEIN OPTIONS THERE AS WELL. NOW, YOU THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CHANGED, TRY TO CHANGE THEIR EATING HABITS. WHAT’S THE COMMON MISCONCEPTION WHEN THEY TRY THE. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IS NOT CONSUMING ENOUGH PROTEIN IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ONE THAT I SEE BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU NEED. SO WE ACTUALLY WE CALCULATE A CUSTOM PROTEIN GOAL FOR EACH OF OUR CLIENTS AND AT LIFETIME FITNESS OMAHA. SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS 0.7 GRAMS OF PROTEIN PER POUND OF YOUR GOAL BODY WEIGHT. SO IF SOMEONE COMES IN WITH A GOAL BODY WEIGHT OF 150 POUNDS, THAT COMES OUT TO 105 GRAMS OF PROTEIN, WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF HARD TO GET TO UNLESS YOU’RE REALLY INTENTIONAL ABOUT IT. SO PEOPLE DON’T REALLY REALIZE I HAVE THEM TRACK THEIR PROTEIN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND USUALLY THEY’RE GETTING ABOUT HALF OF THAT. SO SO ESSENTIALLY FOCUSING ON INCORPORATING PROTEIN AND YOUR SNACKS, YOUR MEALS. SO. OKAY. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO THESE ARE GOOD OPTIONS. THESE MEAT STICKS ARE GREAT. WE CARRY THESE IN OUR LIFE CAFE AS WELL. ABOUT TEN GRAMS OF PROTEIN, EASY, PORTABLE OPTION. I ALSO LOVE GREEK YOGURT OR STRING CHEESE ARE GREAT OPTIONS IF YOU’RE AT HOME. AND KIDS LOVE THOSE OPTIONS, TOO. NICE. ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO YOU KNOW, STARTING A HEALTHIER DIET? JUST GET THAT PROTEIN IN, TRACK YOUR NUTRITION FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OR SO. YOU CAN KIND OF GET A GOOD IDEA OF WHERE YOU’RE ACTUALLY AT AND THEN MAKE SURE YOU GET IN THAT EXERCISE AND RESERVE DISTANCE TRAINING IN ADDITION TO DIET TO PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING, MARY. AND HAPPY NATION
