A Balanced Plate

Here’s a simple way to structure your meals:

  • Half the plate: Fruits and vegetables.

  • Quarter of the plate: Lean proteins.

  • Quarter of the plate: Whole grains or starchy vegetables.

  • Add healthy fats: A small amount like olive oil or nuts.

Quick Tips:

  • Listen to your body and how it responds to different foods.

  • Avoid extreme diets; moderation is key. Aim for 80% of your diet to be as mentioned above and 20% for enjoyable treats (allowing you to stay overwhelmingly on the path)

  • Make gradual changes that you can sustain long-term.
