Eat Your Plants First

In my body transformation, my first commitment was to exercise daily for 20 minutes.  My second commitment was to eat the plants first.  Every time I sat down for a meal, I first had to eat all the vegetables and fruits and then I could enjoy everything else.

This goal was twofold.  First, I found that I was attracted to the meat or carb on the plate first.  When I finished those, I had little desire for the plants and usually left them on the plate.  So by eating the plants first, I was ensuring that I get the “good for my body” stuff first.  The plants contain the immune fortifying, age defying, and gut nourishing substance you need.

The second benefit was that I filled up first on the nutritionally dense, but calorically low foods.  .So after having my vegetables, I always ended up eating less high calorie food such as meat, fats, and carbs.  The end result was that I lost weight and ensured my body was getting everything It needed nutritionally.
