Accountability has been key in my fitness transformation and healthy lifestyle. Using a @fitbit #fitness tracker and a gcm blood glucose monitor from @dexcom @signos, I can get and gather real-time feedback all the time. While there is certainly a risk of data overload, I’ve gotten to a place where they have become a passive part of life-…

5 min prep salad with a boca burger veggie burger (22g of protein and 220 calories) with spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, and zucchini. Sometimes you just need to keep it simple!

A handful of fresh local green beans make for a solid afternoon snack. They are also a great source of fiber, folic acid, and vitamins a, c, and k.

I was able to swap in lemon juice and 21seasoning salute seasoning from @traderjoes to create a…

My breakfast routine– @kachava meal replacement protein shake with @crazyrichardspb peanut butter powder. I break it into two portions (1 15 min after waking up and another an hour later) to reduce blood sugar and glucose spikes and keeps me full til lunch. It is loaded with protein (31g) and vitamins

I have a bad habit of eating the same things over and over to the eventual point of boredom. I ran into this issue with my @kachava chocolate meal replacement protein shakes, where I really needed to throw something new into my breakfast routine after 2 years! One of my favorite flavor profiles…
