I know when I first started working to hit my daily protein goal it was a challenge! Once my body adjusted – took about a month or so – it kicked into high gear and felt like an incinerator!!
To help my digestion move along I incorporated MAGNESIUM (code ALICIAE) at night and GREENS (code ALICIAE) first thing in the morning. This was a game changer! Also make sure to get at least 25g of Fiber daily!!!
Here are a few ideas to get to 100 grams in a day!
