This could change how you eat forever…
We've got a “hack” to share with you today that could be a game changer in your journey to healthier eating.
It’s NOT a new supplement, a superfood, or a fad diet. But it IS more effective – and healthier! – than all of those things.
It will help you create a delicious, balanced meal every time you sit down to eat… WITHOUT the stress of counting every single calorie or fretting over portions.
All it takes is a dinner plate and this easy formula:
50% Veggies + 25% Starchy Carbs + 25% Protein + 1 Thumb of Healthy Fats = 100% Healthy Eating
We told you it was simple! Here's the breakdown...
Step 1: Fill half of your plate with veggies (& maybe some fruit). This not only provides you with vitamins, minerals, and fiber but will fill you up without a lot of calories.
Step 2: Fill one-quarter of your plate with unprocessed starchy carbs (think sweet potatoes, brown rice, or quinoa). These give you the micronutrients and energy you need to keep going through your day.
Step 3: Fill one-quarter of your plate with protein. This could be meat, fish, chicken, or lean pork, etc. Protein is essential for maintaining and building muscle, especially if you're active.
Step 4: Add 1 thumb of healthy fats. This could be avocado, a drizzle of olive oil, or a delicious healthy-fat-based sauce or dressing. Fats are important for SO many things, but especially brain health and helping your body absorb key micronutrients.
The best part? This simple formula works for everyday meals AND gourmet dishes.
Here are a few meal examples:
Roasted Broccoli + Salmon + Sweet Potato + Olive Oil
Strawberries + Scrambled Free-Range Eggs + Oatmeal
Salad Greens + Grilled Chicken + Rice + Vinaigrette
Tomato + Egg + Sprouted Grain Bread + Avocado
Remember, healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated. With the Plate Perfect Formula, you're always one meal away from eating healthy.
I hope this helps you simplify how you plan, prepare, and eat your meals!

The Secret Weapon Against Belly Fat
This is a must-read for your health!
We hear so much about high blood sugar, insulin resistance, diabetes, etc. that it can be tempting to tune it out.
Here are some stats that made me sit up and pay more attention...
96 million adults over the age of 18 in the US have prediabetes (38% of the population!)
48% of people over 65 have prediabetes
37.3 million people have diabetes (11% of the US population) – 8.5 million of them undiagnosed
Woah, right? This is something we ALL need to pay attention to because it plays a huge role in your health over the long term.
Let’s take a quick look at the domino effect of how blood sugar issues can occur:
Over time, your blood sugar levels start to creep up. This can be because of obesity, inactivity, a high-carb diet, medications, genetics, or even getting older – the list is long!
Your body pumps out insulin to remove the blood sugar. This is a good thing… at least at first.
But over time, too much insulin can make your body resistant to it. This leaves excess blood sugar in your bloodstream. (This is when you might notice a buildup of extra belly fat.)
Chronic high blood sugar can lead to a long list of serious health conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and more.
But you have a powerful ally to help fight off this sugar invasion… Regular exercise!
Here’s how it helps:
Exercise can lower blood sugar levels as your muscles burn sugar as fuel.
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity. Regular workouts help your cells become more receptive to insulin, helping to keep your blood sugar levels in balance.
Exercise helps control your weight. Being at a healthy weight can help prevent insulin resistance.
Exercise boosts your overall health. Regular physical activity promotes better heart health, strengthens your immune system, and lifts your mood. Plus, it can help keep nagging sugar cravings at bay!
