Eating a more plant-based diet is healthy for you in so many ways. And focusing on eating more veggies is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy weight, according to certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, of Whole Health Nutrition. Veggies are also full of vitamins and antioxidants to keep you energized and prevent disease. Fiber is another reason to eat veggies throughout the day, to not only prevent certain cancers, but to keep you going to the bathroom regularly, which will prevent belly bloat.
The easiest way to eat more veggies is to include them in every meal and snack — even breakfast. Have a sweet potato for breakfast, snack on honey-roasted chickpeas, have a big mason jar salad for lunch, and make carrot fettuccine as a side dish with dinner.
