I’m sure you’ve seen RawFit on my Instagram over the last few weeks. This protein came highly recommended to my by my friend Zach. When I was in Nashville we went to Vitamin Shoppe and I picked up some Raw Protein in Vanilla, then later that week while in Chicago for BlogHer I was lucky enough to grab some sample packs of RawFit at the expo hall. I want you to know I’m not being asked to write this review or being paid to do so – I just honestly love this product and know the result are REAL. As I mentioned a few weeks ago I signed up for a diet bet to give myself a little kick in the pants and some monetary motivation, and I’ve been working hard to break thru the long plateau. I came back from our vacation and lost 1.5lbs while away, then last week I thought I’d test out the RawFit Jump Start program so I could share it with y’all. I was nervous I wouldn’t get enough calories in each day, however, when I did the math I was happy to see that depending on my choices I was coming in around 1700-1900 (which is what my trainer/health coach wants), while still reaping the benefits of the Jump Start!
I love the idea of using shakes for my meals as I don’t like to spend too much time cooking and I know shakes are a quick and easy way for me to get my nutrition in. Veggies are a struggle for me as I don’t enjoy a large variety of them so if I can include them in a shake that’s a bonus for me. So what did I eat last week while on the JumpStart?
If you’d like to see my full 5 day food log you can check out my MyFitnessPal log. Personally I love this plan and I’m going to do it again this week. I often had to remind myself to snack as my breakfast shake kept me full for hours. While at the gym this week I needed fuel after a double workout so I ordered a shake and the lady suggested I try wheat grass powder. So naturally I went to the store and found it. It blends wonderfully with the RawFit and I actually like the flavor. So did I lose any weight? You bet I did! I lost 2.6lbs from Monday-Friday (weight was taken first thing Saturday morning). I kept my normal exercise schedule during the week Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri and stuck to the foods suggested in the plan and that my heath coach recommend. I’m going to continue this plan next week as well to see how it goes – be sure to check back next Monday for the results of week 2!
Often in the fitness world we eventually fall into the “if I make it with protein powder it’s healthy” trap. I was beyond guilty of this. I have every kind of flavored whey there is. What I like best about this protein is that there is NO junk in it – NONE and I think that’s why I’m left satisfied after my shake and not looking for something else only a little while later. If you’re looking for something the will encourage healthy clean eating while helping you break a plateau I’d recommend checking out RawFit. Let me know if you try it and what kind of results you get!
