So many people think going plant-based means giving up flavor, comfort, or their favorite foods! It DOES NOT! To start, it’s usually one swap that opens the door to a whole new way of eating.
I think when we think of getting started, shrinking what that looks like to make it palatable is necessary. 3 tips to getting started are to, check your mindset, have a practical goal, and a practical plan, regardless how simple or small.
EXAMPLE:
Mindset: Being healthy and eating healthy foods, supports not only my body, but my brain and ability to thrive
Practical goal: Reduce mucus in my body that causes inflammation
