5 Tips to Get More Fruits and Vegetables into Your Diet
Episode Overview Today we’re kicking off the first part of a brand new “how-to” series! Last week we discussed quite a few evidence-based nutrition recommendations for women, specifically menopausal women. But if there’s anything we’ve learned as nutrition coaches for the last eight years, we know that knowing WHAT to eat for health and weight loss is different from actually putting it into practice.
So today, we’re discussing tried-and-true methods to help you actually DO IT, not just talk about it! Eating more fruits and veggies might sound basic and simple, but it’s something that we find almost all of our new Balance365 members can benefit from, so this episode is for everyone!
