~ Just Add The Good ~
Here’s a simple meal plan to invigorate your daily bites with nourishment.
Directions: Eat these foods and their corresponding quantities IN ADDITION to what you eat usually on a DAILY basis. One other thing – these foods take priority on your plate, that means eat these before everything else. This can translate into eating the items on the list as soon as you wake up, or before the other foods on your plate throughout the day.
It’s a basic and easy way to incorporate the foods you should always eat, without the pressure of completely cutting out the foods you like cold turkey.
If you are allergic to any of the foods, try to substitute, however if you can’t find one the plan will still be extremely beneficial.
