Over the next week let's work together to improve our eating habits so we don't lose control on Turkey Day...again I know I always struggle with restraint on Thanksgiving, because its such a great shmorgisboard of food! All of my favorites in 1 place lol But this year, I will be practicing restraint, and working with my family on healthier options! Lets start a thread on how we want to practice healthier habits this year for Thanksgiving!

This week lets try to go out and eat 25 different plants! This may sound weird, but fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, beans are all plants! Push to hit 25 different plants this week to mix up your diet, and experiment with new foods that you don't normally consume. By increasing your plant intake you will drastically alter your nutritional intake, and improve your diet substantially! Trying new foods is one of the great spices of life! Cheat code: You can use smoothies with fruits and vegetables to increase the number of plants you have in one meal! My favorite: Blueberry Banana Smoothie! 1 Banana 1 cup of mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries) 1 cup of Kale 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter 1 tablespoon of Flax Seeds 1 1/2 cup of Almond Milk 1 scoop of Whey Protein Ice That is a total of 8 different plants in 1 meal!

Completely agree with many of your posts regarding fad diets, planning and sleep! One thing I’ve found that helps me is meal prepping. Appropriate portions and nutrients (protein, fats, carbs) are so important! I prepped my salads for the week which saves me thinking about it last minute and that type of forethought keeps me on track ☑️
