Why I Focus on High Protein + Low Carb

One of the biggest things that helped me lose 70 lbs was learning how to build meals around protein first.

Meals like this help me:

• Stay fuller longer

• Keep cravings lower

• Support energy

• Avoid blood sugar crashes

• Make low carb actually feel sustainable

And yes… I still use ketones daily as part of my routine because they help support my energy, focus, appetite control and consistency.

For me, this is all part of biohacking my body to FEEL better instead of just trying to survive the day.
