Trying to slim down for summer? đź‘™

Here’s the one healthy tool you’ll need: the PLATE.

Problem is when people are trying to slim down, they focus on under eating. Instead…swap the focus to BALANCED eating to fuel your body right.💥

ADVICE: Use a 3-compartment PLATE to help visualize the right balance. And bonus, the PLATE actually counts calories for you​. See how it works HERE.

**the PLATE basics***

3 ounces protein + 1/2 cup cooked grain + 2 cups vegetables (with healthy fat such as 1–2 T oil/dressing or 2–3 T nuts/seeds/guac)

Why the PLATE works:
▪️Protein builds metabolism-boosting muscle + provides staying power to feel full longer.
▪️Grains fuel muscles + increase mealtime mental satisfaction to prevent cravings later.
▪️Veggies protect from disease + increase fullness with their high fiber/water combo.
▪️Healthy fats are not only delish, they help your body absorb more nutrients from veggies​​.
