Follow me on my journey to plant based eating🧑🏽‍🍳🥗🥦🥕🥬

80/20 choice: 80% vegetables / 20% meats

My goal is a 💯 plant based and healthier lifestyle 🫶🏾

... Read moreTransitioning to a plant-based diet has been one of the most rewarding lifestyle changes I've embraced. Opting for an 80/20 approach—eating 80% vegetables and only 20% meats—allow me to gradually adjust my palate and habits without feeling deprived. This balance provides flexibility while still pushing toward my ultimate goal of a fully plant-based diet. In my experience, focusing on a variety of colorful vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, carrots, and other nutrient-dense options has greatly improved my overall energy levels and digestion. Incorporating flavorful herbs and spices made the shift enjoyable rather than restrictive. I also found that preparing meals ahead of time ensures I’m never caught unprepared, which helps me stick to my goals even on the busiest days. Another key aspect of my journey has been tuning into my body’s responses and cravings. Sometimes a little animal protein fits perfectly into a meal, supporting sustained energy throughout the day. But by prioritizing plants, I’ve noticed improvements in my skin, mood, and immune health. My advice to anyone interested in plant-based eating is to start gradually, experiment with recipes, and focus on meals that truly satisfy and nourish. Celebrate progress rather than perfection and remember that health is a lifelong journey. Following this 80/20 vegetable-to-meat ratio has made adopting a healthier lifestyle achievable and enjoyable for me, and it can for you too.
