• Increase in portion size per meal

• Calories consumed from unhealthy sources

The good news is that these problems are easy to fix, and this article has all the information you will need to make a strong start.

Amazing Advantage Of Plant-Based Food That You Can’t Miss

A study conducted on 71,768 women aged between 38 to 63 years reveals that a dietary pattern consisting of higher intake of red and processed meat, along with refined grains, sweets, and desserts, could increase the risk of a stroke.

On the other hand, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains protect against this risk.

Moreover, plant-based foods negate the impact of large portion sizes. The example below illustrates how:

A Big Mac has 563 calories, which is equal to three and half pounds of broccoli.

Therefore, if your meal consists of mainly plant-based food, you can actually increase your portion size and generally not over-consume too many calories.

Build A Plant-Based Menu With This Simple Tip

Before building a menu, you must have a clear picture of everything you eat over a one week period. Begin with a food diary where you either write down or photograph everything you eat. Do this for one week; at the end of the week  you will literally have a “clear picture.” After reviewing the diary, you’ll see what needs to be eliminated. Once you decide to eliminate certain foods, the next step is to replace these foods with something plant-based. Remember, replacing what you remove is essential; otherwise, the undesirables will find their way back into your diet.

Three Easy-To-Cook Plant-Based Recipes

Contrary to what many think, maintaining a plant-based diet isn’t difficult, dull, or tasteless. Here are three recipes proving that eating vegetarian food can be just as pleasing to your palate:

Cauliflower Fried Rice

This recipe, from Living Sweet Moments, is a delicious way to replace Chinese takeout food. It’s also an excellent replacement for rice. All you need is one large head of cauliflower, half a cup of corn, a clove of garlic, half a cup of frozen peas and carrots, half a piece of shallots, some soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Vegan Tofu Meatballs

Despite the name,  this delicious recipe will help you during those dark times when you crave for some meat. To better prepare for the week, you can cook a batch, put it in the fridge, and then munch away when you feel hungry.

Customized Nourishment Bowl

This recipe is unlike any other because it  can actually help to create other recipes. Using a simple color-coded chart, you can put together a healthy bowl of food that gives plenty of nutrition.

Execution Is The Key

Reducing your risk of disease and weight gain can be assisted by adopting a plant-based diet, which is healthier than the average diet that families tend to follow. You can start small by incorporating one to two plant-based meals per week. Thereafter, you can progress to swapping more of the meat-filled meals with healthier plant-based recipes, such as the ones shown here. They are not only better for our bodies, but also better for the future of our environment.
