Collagen Shamrock Shake
I once adored going to McDonald’s for a Shamrock Shake. But when Craig lost his job, I started cooking our favorite restaurant meals at home! Not only was it a great way to save money, but we both lost a lot of weight eating healthier versions at home!
I added Further Food vanilla collagen to my sugar free Shamrock Shake for an extra health boost!
1/3 of the protein in your body is collagen: skin, hair, nails, joints, gut, bones, ligaments.

- Can help with skin elasticity and aging. This means when losing a lot of weight it can help the skin shrink better, reduce wrinkles and cellulite
- It can help strengthen hair and reduce hair loss
- Improves joint health
- Builds bone strength
- Contains 18 amino acids that help muscle and ligament repair and recovery
- Contains glycine that helps with immune system health and helps with digestion

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“Good morning Maria Emmerich! This weekend marked a milestone in my journey. Not only have I lost half of my body weight but I wore a sleeveless shirt for the first time in 15 years!
My 12 year old daughter pointed out that she has never seen me wear a sleeveless shirt….and added that I looked buff!
Thank you Maria and Craig Emmerich for all of your guidance! I am beyond happy to have found this way of eating and will never return to where I started. I am stronger, healthier, younger and feel fantastic. Keto on!

Hi Maria,
I was wondering about PSMF way of eating.
The 3 days of 800 calories in a week, should they be done 3 days in a row or split up during the week?
Thank you,
Sherry
It’s up to you. You can do them consecutively or alternate, whichever works better for you 🙂
