As a writer, I have found that going to the gym and walking in nature really helps me stick at my job, which comprises sitting, researching and writing. The protein thing is a bit annoying, I know, but I have to admit that more protein means less snacking and less time to make excuses to leave my study.
Maybe, like me, you don’t like Protein Powders. Well, I came across this homemade Seed Protein Powder about a year ago.
