Plant Based Eating by Nando Sabino - HTML preview

Conclusion

Plant-based eating can be for everyone, the main idea is not to “diet” or remove something from your nutrition but more about adding more vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. For those of you who love their steak or burgers once in a while, you don’t have to completely eliminate animal-based food but you can certainly reduce it by making more meals that are plant- based.

As you have seen from the research, there is a strong advantage not to surpass the daily intake recommendations for sugar, sodium and protein. This is the optimal way to avoid health issues and prevent chronic diseases. While exercising is important, nutrition is probably the number one reason why we have so much obesity in our nation. Not knowing what to eat and difficulty reading labels has led us to be confused about what to eat or not to eat. The best approach is a balanced nutrition with a lot of variety and refrain from overindulging.

Now it’s time to put your learning into action. First, pick a day when you will start you plant-based eating, then select your meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes), go shopping and get your grocery items and implement the change!

If it seems like a big change for you, try once a week for the first month and gradually move to twice a week, three times a week, etc. Remember, slow and steady is a great approach to change habits but mostly to make them stick. Plant-based eating is not a diet but a way of living so have fun with it!
