DESCRIPTION
"Try to get more fruits and vegetables in your diet."- The mantra of nutrition experts. If we decode the message, what they really mean is: "You're eating a crappy diet, so why not do yourself a favor and add some fruits and vegetables, so your diet doesn't totally suck?" It's essential that you get fruit and and as many fibrous vegetables as you can into your diet for beneficial antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. However, "Trying to get more fruit and vegetables in your diet" is a poor mind frame to work from and an impotent strategy to lose weight and be healthy. Lets take a step back from this recommendation for a minute and analyze the frame/ paradigm. Is it really going to matter health or weight loss- wise if you continue eating the same bad stuff, but adding in some fruits and vegetables?

If we decode the message, what they really mean is:
"You're eating a crappy diet, so why not do yourself a favor and add some fruits and vegetables, so your diet doesn't totally suck?"
It's essential that you get fruit and and as many fibrous vegetables as you can into your diet for beneficial antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

slices, because I'm trying to be healthier".
Not really.
Listen, fruit and vegetables are not a supplement! You need to flip that strategy
Vegetables, and to a lesser degree, fruits, make up the backbone of a quality diet along with protein and healthy- fat foods. They're not something you sprinkle- in to a meal to pretend you're eating healthy.
To lose weight and be healthy, you don't need to completely eliminate your favorite foods. It's about making the proper choices the majority of the time and having the junk food (if you feel you really need it) once in a while.
How would you look and feel if 90% of the time you ate lean proteins, moderate amounts of healthy fats and plenty of vegetables?
Quick, ridiculously obvious quiz:
Q. Who's going to have the leaner, healthier body?
A. 90% junk food 10% fruit and vegetables diet
or
B. 90% healthy food and 10% junk food
Answer:The 90% healthy eater. And you know what? that 10% wont even make a difference. That person could enjoy the weekend and not have to feel guilty.
