LS 052: Changing School Lunch with Hilary Boynton

2 years ago, I was frustrated and confused by weight gain despite my healthy eating habits. But now, after 2 years, I’ve lost over 20lbs, gained amazing muscle and strength, and dropped 6 pants sizes.  Check out my 2-year Faster Way journey here: https://livesimply.me/my-2-year-experience-with-faster-way-to-fat-loss-review/  And the best part? I achieved all this by eating more, prioritizing rest, and lifting weights 3 times a week. In this podcast, I share an interview with my Faster Way to Fat Loss coach, Sandi Gravatt.
