I WILL: GIVE PLANTS A CHANCE
A PLANT-BASED DIET IS MORE THAN GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES! And it can be quite the flexible nutrition plan. You choose the structure of your meal planning and food choices: flexitarian, pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan. Choosing a plant-based diet does not require exclusion of meat or dairy, it offers an appropriate balance in food choices to support a healthy lifestyle. A diet rich in plant-based foods – fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans – has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
START SMALL: Enjoy one meal each week as a vegetarian. Leave the meat, poultry, fish, and seafood for another day.
FINISH REMARKABLE: Make plant-based eating the star of the show! Limit your meat intake to one small serving each day. Turn a Portobello into a flavorful “steak” or combine broccoli rabe with wild rice for nutritious plant-based alternatives.
