Learn how to build the perfect plate for optimal health with a balanced combination of fruits and veggies, whole grains, plant protein, and healthy fats. Don't forget your happy food!
In this episode, Dr. Cheryl will walk you through the perfect plate based on her 20+ years of research and 2000+ patients' lives changed.
50% of your plate should be fruits and vegetables, out of four cups of total volume. That means you should have about two cups of fruit and vegetables.
25% of your plate should come from whole grains and starchy vegetables, or about one cup.
The other 25% of the plate is made up of plant protein and healthy plant fat.
When we bring this all together, I just want you to ask yourself, ‘Does my plate have two cups of fruits and vegetables?’ If half of your plate is made up of fruits and vegetables, you're halfway there.
Once you have a healthy plate, you have all the foods that your body needs to thrive.
Now you can start trusting your hunger because your body's getting the environment it needs.
Now you've got your energy, and the mental fog goes away. Your skin clears up.
You can be confident that you're doing everything you can do for the best food as medicine.
Most importantly, you can also feel that post-meal peace. I feel full, I feel satisfied, and that makes me feel even happier.
That's real living. That's real Wellness. I am so excited for you to build your next lunch with the perfect plate.
