Getting Started with Plant-Based Eating: Jen and Sarah discuss the ways to introduce plant-based into your life

Episode Outline/Takeaways

  • There are three distinct types of personalities when it comes to being healthy. Those who like to take baby steps towards achieving their goals, those who are all or nothing, and those who think they are in one camp but are actually in the other.

  • Tips for those who like baby steps (still useful for the all or nothing people):

    • Identify what you are already eating that is plant based and increase the ratio of those foods in your diet

    • Think about substitutions for meat such as swapping the meat in tacos for bean

    • Visit https://www.forksoverknives.com/ for plant based meal recipes

    • Add some new items that you may not have tried https://runningonrealfood.com/ 

    • Try throwing some dark leafy greens on your normal meals

  • Take transitioning to plant based slowly in order to not upset your digestive system too much

  • Have a mindset of experimentation and don’t give up when something doesn’t work
