Ibs food tips? Tips for nausea/vomiting/upset stomach? I can't take anymore rolaids :( 😞 😓 😩

This is the question I get more than almost anything else. And I get it. When I first shifted to eating more plants, protein felt like the thing I had to defend constantly. But here's what I know now. Getting enough protein on a plant-based diet is completely doable. You just have to be a little intentional about it. Here's what actually works: - 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀. Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, tofu, tempeh, edamame, hemp seeds, and quinoa are your best friends. These aren't sad substitutes. They're genuinely powerful foods that keep you full and fuel your body well. - 𝗔𝗶𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹. Don't try to hit your intake all at once. Spreading it throughout the day helps with absorption and keeps your energy steady. Even snacks count. - 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳. Hemp seeds on your oatmeal. Nut butter on your toast. Pumpkin seeds on your salad. It adds up faster than you think. - 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲. After 40, we naturally start losing muscle mass. Eating enough protein is one of the most important things we can do to protect our strength, metabolism, and long-term health. This is a longevity conversation, not just a fitness one. - 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹. This is an old myth. Your body pools amino acids throughout the day. Just eat a variety of whole plant foods and you'll cover your bases. I put together something to make this even easier for you. My Protein Toolkit walks you through exactly how to hit your protein goals on plants without obsessing over it. 💪 Find the Protein toolkit here: https://www.skool.com/nadia/classroom/2f70d306 What's your biggest challenge with protein right now?
