Secret # 3: Make Your Plate Colorful
Take a look at your plate: Is it mostly brown or white with very little
color? If so, you are probably consuming far too few vegetables.
Nutrient-dense, organic vegetables are the best source of energy
for the body. They are jam-packed with vitamins and minerals that
promote health and longevity. Start making your plate colorful! Aim
for at least half of your plate to be colored with fresh, local, and
organic vegetables.
According to Mark Sisson, author
of The Primal Blueprint, 50 to
100 grams of carbohydrates
from healthy sources such as
vegetables, fruits, and other
certified raw or organic sources
will promote a gradual weight
loss of two pounds each week.
Because they are so high in vitamins and minerals, your body will
thank you for including them in your diet every day!
