The Plantiful Health Equation

Your Diet

+Whole Plant Foods

=Health

Healthy eating is a spectrum, the Plantiful Spectrum

Measure the quality of your diet is by the amount of 

Whole Plant Foods

You consume

 

These include

Whole Grains

Beans and Legumes

Sweet Fruits

Savory Vegetables

And Satisfying Nuts and Seeds.

 

Move up the Plantiful Spectrum by

Increasing the whole plant foods in your diet, and

Decreasing the rest.

 

It’s as simple as that.

Heavily reliant on meat and other animal products.  The only plant-foods consumed are highly processed, in the form of crackers, chips, candy, soda, and other poor nutrient quality food.
