March is National Nutrition Month and this year's theme is “Go Further with Food.”
On the national level, the campaign is focusing on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. But here at Summerfield Custom Wellness, we have a different idea of what it means to go further with food.
Since all our services are customized to health history, budget, and lifestyle, we do not give out a lot of “blanket” health and nutrition information. However, at the heart of our eating philosophy, we do encourage The Plate Method in some form or fashion with a lot of our clients.
The Plate Method is an easy way to strike a healthy balance in your diet by eating half a plate of non-starchy vegetables, a quarter plate of starch (carbohydrates) and a quarter plate of protein.
This is the first step with a lot of clients because we notice that people do not have difficulty finding proteins and starches, but they do have issues including vegetables throughout the day.
After you have The Plate Method down, we have two mini-challenges for you to go further with your food.
