12 Days of Fit-mas- Day 2: Protein First, Treats Second

Casey Season 2 Episode 192

Welcome back to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series!
Today we’re talking about the simplest nutrition shift that makes every holiday meal, party, and treat feel easier to navigate: protein first, treats second.

This isn’t about restriction. It’s about strategy. When you lead with protein, you naturally stabilize hunger, reduce cravings, support muscle, and make it far easier to enjoy holiday treats without overeating or spiraling into the all-or-nothing mindset.

In this short episode, Casey breaks down why women over 40 benefit so much from this approach, how to make it practical during a busy season, and how this one tiny rule can help you feel more in control of your choices- without giving up the foods you love.

In this episode:

  • Why protein is especially important during the holiday season
  • How protein helps curb cravings and stabilize energy
  • Real-life protein ideas you can use before meals or events
  • The mindset shift that lets you enjoy treats guilt-free

A small shift in the order you eat can create a big shift in how you feel.

Tune in for Day 2- and get ready for more simple, doable steps all season long.
