Plant Rich — with a side of animal.
Plant foods give our body nearly everything it needs. The essential nutrients that our body needs to function at its best - we can get nearly all of these from plant foods.
So, if we simplify it right down. Eat plants and a bit of animal.
Let’s get in the real world though.
That is, most people love animal foods. In New Zealand & Australia, we love and pride ourselves on dairy and meat. I grew up living the rural NZ life and couldn’t have had a better upbringing. For most, we plan our meals around meat.
Plant rich means we plan our diet around plants. With a side of animal.
This means we put the focus on foods that are an essential part of a healthy diet. Many would call this a revolutionary nutrition concept in the animal food-loving countries of NZ & Australia! Combining plant nutrition with a touch of animal. Changing the focus from meat and three veg.
To… A plate pumped up with veggies, bit of grain, bit of legume and a touch of animal along the way. Legumes you say? What the **** are those?
In life, we are encouraged to give our best at whatever we are doing. And we do.
But our best doesn’t mean that we can be at our best in everything we do, every single day. Let’s be real, we aren’t performing at our best all day, every day at work.
We aren’t training at our best every day. And your diet won’t be at its best all day every day. Your best isn’t meant to be maintained at all times.
It’s fun eating pizza with your friends on a Friday night. Variety is the spice of life is it not? What does happen though, when we aspire to be our best every day, is that our best actually gets better.
Our best at work, in training, our diet, they get better. How fast you want your best to get better is up to you. How fast you want your best diet to get even better is up to you. How quickly you want to better your plant rich status is up to you.
Oh and don’ think you don’t need it…
About 7-8% of Kiwi’s & Aussie’s eat the recommended amount of fruit and veggies each day. 2% of Australian’s met the daily nut target and don’t get me started on those legume things…and I could go on…
Eating more plant foods doesn’t just happen overnight. If it did, you would all be eating a heck of a lot more fruit, veggies, legumes, grains, nuts & seeds than what you are.
That is where I come in. After your’e done with me. Your best diet and best baseline will be even better. This is how plant rich works. We grow your plant rich status - because in the world of nutrition, this is where the health benefits are. The result is a MUCH healthier you.
The beauty of plant rich is that it does the dirty work for you. During this process it isn’t about being in the mindset of “elimination”. This isn’t about going and throwing all animal foods in the bin at all.
Being plant rich is not about eliminating foods.
Being plant rich is just telling you what your main focus is. If you are eating animal foods, certain types and amounts are fine. *Sigh of relief from most readers*. Just know, if you are plant rich, you will tick the nutrition boxes.
If you are curious about plant rich. If you want to feel and look better. Then this is for you. You will look back at your “best” diet baseline in time and think no ******* way! If you are curious about plant rich. And love eating meat and want to keep eating meat. This is also for you.
The world of plant nutrition science is a fascinating one. After learning the intricacies of it and receiving the benefits of eating more plant rich myself, I know it is a path that will help others. That is why I am here telling you about it! It is a rich worth going after.
