A New You
Posted by physicianslifecenters on August 29, 2011
There is so much information regarding health and body weight that it is impossible not to stop and think: “How can I improve my life?” The problem is that all that information gives you so many choices that it becomes impossible to make a decision. Low fat, high protein diets have dominated the landscape since the 1980′s and have resulted in nothing but a heavier America and poor health costing billions of dollars.
Take charge of your life now. Increasing vegetables in your diet is the first step. Divide your daily plate into two. On one side are vegetables. On the other divide it again into three parts: Fruits, grains, and protein. Try to choose non animal proteins if you can such as black beans. Try pan saute without oil, eat raw or steamed vegetables as well.
On average people consume up to 150 animal products per month. If you begin to decrease this number and add whole foods you can begin to see the changes within just a few weeks.
Your medications will decrease and health will increase. We need to discuss this further tomorrow.
For now, increase your vegetables.
