💥Today’s CHEATCODE: Lets go meatless!
.
🥦Vegetarian diets promote weight loss because they focus on nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and soy. Vegan diets go even further and cut out calorie-rich foods like cheese.
.
👩🏼⚕️Studies shows that vegetarian diets are twice as effective in reducing body weight in comparison to an average meat-eating diet.
.
🥬Having one meatless meal per day or a meatless week, can help you to diversify your diet, add fiber, improve your health and help you lose weight!
.
🥑Whole-food sources of plant protein, such as beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole soy, provide fiber and prebiotics to help your gut stay healthy and also contain sustainable carbs and healthy fats to help balance blood sugars and lower risk of heart disease.
.
🌽While many packaged meat substitutes are made with healthy, whole-food plant proteins and ingredients, not all of them are.
.
🤓That’s why it’s important to flip over the box and see what’s in one before you buy it.
.
🧐Avoid products with added preservatives, sugars, inflammatory oils or other ingredients that you don’t want or recognize.
.
👀Check the protein source, look for simple ingredients, check how much protein and check the saturated fat and sodium content–like you should for any food item you buy!
.
🥙Stick with the classics–swapping out the meat in a recipe for Tofu, Tempeh, Beans and lentils.
.
💪🏻Whether you’ve recently cut out meat from your diet or are just trying to eat less of it, plant-based proteins can help fill the void and contribute to weight loss!
.
❓Have you tried limiting your meat intake? ⚠️Start with cutting back on red meat and processed meats.🐟Maybe have more seafood instead. ✳️Then pick a day or week and just go meatless!
