Here’s the thing about health journeys, there is no one way to do it. What’s most important is that you love what you eat, and your meals provide the nutrition your body needs like protein to fill you up, build strength, and balance your blood sugar, fiber to optimize digestion and gut health and maintain healthy cholesterol numbers, and of course vitamins and minerals for their endless list of benefits. The cool thing about plants like legumes, grains, fruits, and veggies is that they provide all that good nutrition plus variety and flavor so incorporating more, even if you eat meat, is always a smart move.
You need meals that fuel your day, keep you energized, and provide the nutrition your body needs so that you can focus on killing it on that work project, being there for your family, or pushing yourself to add that extra mile to your walk.
