MODULE 3 LESSON 4

A largely plant-based diet is beneficial for health, hunger management, and optimising the nutrient density of your diet.

This doesn't mean you need to be vegan to be healthy, but favouring a predominantly plant-based diet is likely to be positive for your future health.

Many people don't get enough quantity and variety of fruits and vegetables in their diets, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies and health implications. This is why your task is designed to address this easily.

YOUR TASK:
  • Plan to have 100-200g of low-calorie vegetables in at least two main meals.
  • Aim to vary your choices of vegetables so that you get a broad range of vitamins and minerals.

Completing this task will help add volume to meals, which will assist with reducing hunger. Selecting low-calorie options may also provide you with calories you can use for other foods.

Remember to be creative. Increasing vegetable intake doesn't have to mean bland steamed broccoli.
