For many of us, counting calories is a chore and time consuming. I want to bring you the good news that there is an alternative. Even for those counting calories, it is time to divide and conquer ~ the plate that is!
When we fill our plates, we should look at it in sections. A full half of our plates should be used for fruits and veggies. One quarter for meat or some other form of a high protein food. The other quarter for a startch.
A good meal could be stir fry with a serving of brown rice, one serving of chicken and two servings of vegetables. Another meal idea would be vegetable beef stew with a serving of crackers or bread on the side. A half sandwich with turkey, lettuce and tomato with cantaloupe for dessert is also great.
This is all about balance and how a balanced diet keeps us healthy. Are you ready to divide and conquer? Try eating this way for one week and see how much better you feel.
Very useful blog. Keep up the good work.
