Unlock the Secret to Staying Fit in Midlife: The Protein Game-Changer | Eps 585

[@spookyfish3792]

Thank you! Im 59 and I started last June at 251 lbs. In November, I hit 197 and spent a month bouncing between 197 and 202. I decided it was time to go to the gym and started walking and weights every day. It's become an obsession at this point, but I still couldn't get past the 197. I was eating 1300 calories a day and I was STARVING. I finally decided to raise my calories to 1700 and worked my macros to hit 150g of protein and I'm losing again.😊. Watching this made me feel validated so thank you for letting me ramble. Lol

[@JeanineEscobar]

I love this so much!! YES, many times I bump up my clients calories and they lose weight... They are always afraid at first but it works. Targeting protein is so so important! Sounds like you are on the right track. Great job!!

Thank you for the tips. I now make yogurt parfait with Fage and the 1UP nutrition Vanilla powder and then add peanut butter powder and a cup of berries. Delicious! Thank you for the introduction to the protein powder. It is the best that I have tasted. I am using the LoseIt app and trying to get 120g of protein each day. I don’t always do it but that’s my goal. I do anchor around protein in my meal which really has been my mindset change since last year.

[@JeanineEscobar]

That sounds delicious! 😋 I’m so glad you’re loving the 1UP Vanilla protein-it really is the best! You’re doing amazing anchoring your meals around protein, and aiming for 120g is a great goal. Even if you don’t hit it every day, the consistency and mindset shift are what matter most. Keep it up-you’re crushing it! 🙌

😂 when Mike was talking about how protein is never on sale but all the other crap is buy 2 get 1 free had me laughing pretty hard, because it’s so true.

[@tickledxoxpink]

Jeanine, I just love your videos. I will be 39 this year and take my health very seriously. Listening to this content has helped me boost my confidence as I’m about to enter my 40’s. There’s a lot of fear mongering out there for women my age. “Oh, you’re not gonna be able to keep your figure much longer…” Too many haters out there…🙄 these are the same type of people who tell women they won’t be able to get their bodies back after having kids. And then I did just that and I’m in the best shape of my life! Anyway, you and Mike are great! Thank you! ❤

[@JeanineEscobar]

thank you so much! ❤ I love your mindset-age is just a number when you take care of yourself, and you’re proof of that! There’s way too much fear-mongering out there, but I’m glad you’re shutting it down and thriving. Keep doing your thing and showing what’s possible! 🙌 We appreciate your support so much

Happiest Birthday to you Jeanine! 🎉 You’re such a blessing to those around you (and here on KZbin) and I wish you the best year yet! Thanks for being you! 😘

Yes We Are 😊😊😂😂

LOL I know, not planned

[@ToniRuns26.2]

I usually get anywhere from 100-150 grams of protein. I haven’t seen the weight loss results yet. I’m 54 and peri menopausal. I’ve gained some of the menopause weights, but I am focusing on lean proteins and watching my macros. Working out 5-6 days a week cardio and strength. I use that hack when grocery shopping and looking for different things to eat. Loved this video and the info! So helpful!

[@JeanineEscobar]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! It sounds like you’re doing a lot of the right things-prioritizing lean protein, focusing on your macros, and keeping consistent with your workouts. Changes in menopause can make the process feel slower due to hormonal shifts, but don’t get discouraged! Sometimes it’s just a matter of fine-tuning-things like dialing in your calorie intake, ensuring recovery, or managing stress and sleep (which play a huge role during this phase). Keep at it, and remember, results might take time, but consistency always pays off.

[@AmyHambey]

Hope you have a great Birthday Jeanine! I am working to get more protein in first thing in the day vs lacking overall how much I get in each day. I ordered 1Up to help by adding in my coffee with Whole Foods. Thanks for the Gems!

[@JeanineEscobar]

You can do it! You're welcome and thank yo for the Birthday wishes!

[@gracesunshine6716]

Happy Happy Birthday Dear Jeanine❤ I weigh 120 pounds but my body fat percentage is 45% - even the doctor was shocked! You inspire me every week to enjoy my meals and to make it fun! There’s probably more than a million influencers telling you about protein and lifting weights but you got to me!! You made me realize what I needed to change and walked me through it with all your videos!! Thank you thank you thank you!! I’m two months into my body recomposition journey so let’s see where this year takes me😊

[@JeanineEscobar]

OMG 🥹 You made my day. I look forward to hearing about your update on your journey

[@MelissaJoy-j8u]

Happy birthday, Jeanine🎉and to your hubby as well. I'm trying to implement more protein, just getting started. 😊

[@JeanineEscobar]

Thank you so much!! It will make a big difference. Pay attention to how it impacts your hunger and cravings. It really does help!

[@nikkig1818]

Great nuggets as always!!! Love my ninja creamis Was wondering if you’ve seen the ninja creami swirl ?? It’s so cool True soft serve vibes Sooo tempting to sell the one I have for the upgrade it supposed to be available Feb 🍦 😊

[@JeanineEscobar]

OMG Yes, I will definitely be getting one of those!! Im excited about it

[@rachelmelton26]

I really enjoyed the “hack” it makes a lot of sense. I am also really happy that BBC now we can go over in protein if we want to or need to that has also helped! I’ll be 40 this year so getting all this great knowledge for my future self is in deed helpful. Thanks Mike and Jeanine 💜

[@JeanineEscobar]

I know!!! I was so happy to make that adjustment in the program because it was more aligned with what I teach! I am so glad you are enjoying BBC. Love my BBC ladies so much ❤️

[@escoelitemindset]

[@rachelmelton26]

We love you 🥰 too Happy birthday!

Happy birthday🎉

[@JeanineEscobar]

Thank you ☺️

[@gwenprewitt]

Thanks for this video! I have been intermittent fasting and it's hard to get enough protein some days. Should I continue fasting?

[@JeanineEscobar]

Fasting is a tool to help you stay in a calorie deficit, but not at the expense of not getting in enough protein.. Track Calories and Get your protein in over anything else

[@gwenprewitt]

@@JeanineEscobar Thanks, Jeanine! My goal is 100 but ultimately, I would like to reach 120 grams on average.

[@bridgetk4054]

❤❤ love this video! I have started “front loading” my day with protein as it’s easier because with work and life, you at least accomplish something immediately and are setup for success. I’ve also been incorporating 2 days a week of strength training. Such an important message that you need your muscles and yes I’ve been in high stress situations where I needed to lug things around and was fully able to. ❤

[@CelesteLoveHeart]

Happy ❤Birthday xoxo 😊

[@Beskie]

What about eating enough protein and weight lifting while taking a GLP1? Does all your muscle mass disappear or is there a way to maintain some or most muscle?

[@JeanineEscobar]

Great question! Eating enough protein and incorporating weight lifting while taking a GLP-1 medication is crucial for maintaining muscle mass. These medications can suppress appetite, which might lead to an unintentional calorie and protein deficit. This is why it’s so important to prioritize getting enough protein in your diet-aim for at least 0.7-1g of protein per pound of your goal body weight-and continue resistance training regularly. While GLP-1s may lead to some loss of muscle along with fat, you can absolutely mitigate this by focusing on strength training and ensuring you're not in too extreme of a calorie deficit.

[@Beskie]

@ ahh thank you so much!! You are so inspirational, motivational and helpful. ❤️

[@user-prettyface2101-]

Thank you so much for this video.l am eating more protein for sure.l was wondering if you guys knew about this.l just wanted to share because you guys have helped me lose weight.l eat according to my blood type.O positive people are the one's that needs the most protein.When you eat according to your blood type. Everything flows through your body so nice.lt is about eating according to your blood type.Massive weight loss add this technique to your daily routine it works.Have a blessed day

[@JeanineEscobar]

You're welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it. I am familiar with the Blood Type diet you are referring to. I'm not sold on it though. There have been a few good studies on it and not sufficient evidence to support the claims.. I'm sure you have seen results, and I do feel like there are outliers, but Many of the diet’s recommendations (e.g., eating more whole foods, avoiding processed foods) align with general healthy eating principles. People may feel better simply because they’re eating healthier, not because of their blood type necessarily...But at the end of the day, if it's easy for you to follow and you feel great that's what matters most.

[@nadiakhurma5954]

Ever since you guys mentioned that protein hack, l use it all the time! So often those so called high protein items are not. Ppfft! Nope! LOVE that hack! Since starting BBC....l even have my mom being more mindful of her protein intake! 🙏🏻 ....by the way, l think alot of us have been indulging in more pasta lately 😂😂🤭

[@JeanineEscobar]

HAHAHAHA, Pasta, Popcorn and JoyRides, Tell me you aren't my client without telling me you aren't my client 😂😂

[@nadiakhurma5954]

@JeanineEscobar 😂🤣😂😂😂😂

[@pamelagonzalez46]

Happy Birthday !! You look so beautiful 🥰❤

[@JeanineEscobar]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@nadiakhurma5954]

I always remember that story. Podcast. For what. What are we going to talk about😂 I love how you and Mike are dressed!The studio... the whole look. Its so soothing, sexy, classy...l cant describe it❤ Does that make sense?😄

[@JeanineEscobar]

You know what is so funny?!? We keep unintentionally matching 😂😂😂

[@nadiakhurma5954]

😂​@@JeanineEscobar

[@aMsDeveraux50]

What if you kidneys don’t break down the protein and you’re told to eat only 88% of your total macros per day in protein only then what?

[@JeanineEscobar]

Typically 30-40% of calories from protein is a good % to target..However if you have compromised kidney function you should follow the recommendations of your doctor.

[@aMsDeveraux50]

@ thanks so so much. This is such a challenging time, but I guess I’ll get through this. I love your channel.

[@aMsDeveraux50]

And to be correct I’m at 69 g of protein per day which I know is too low

[@awoa2011]

So sick of this protein obsession 🙄 it’s needed yes but a lot of ppl r over consuming protein and under consuming other important macro nutrients … like healthy fats .. which is also highly beneficial for hormone regulation in women

[@JeanineEscobar]

Then why did you click on a video about protein? Protect your mental health avoid content that you’re sick of.

[@JeanineEscobar]

[@sussannekeith5676]

You need all the macros but a protein deficit will not grow muscles.

[@JeanineEscobar]

You're absolutely right that all macros play an important role, and I agree that a protein deficit can make it hard to build muscle. My point was that focusing on hitting protein while keeping an eye on overall calories can be an effective strategy for many people-especially those who are new to macros and might feel overwhelmed tracking everything. Protein often gets under-consumed, so prioritizing it can be a simple way to see progress while naturally getting enough carbs and fats. But of course, balance is key for optimal results
