One serving vegetables equals:
1/2 cup cooked veggies
or
1 cup raw (such as lettuce)
One serving of fruit equals:
1 piece of fruit (apple, orange, banana, peach, etc.)
1/2 cup of sliced fruit
We want to get a general idea of what 5 to 9 servings equals. We don't want to go crazy about it. In Crete, they don't measure anything.

Day 3:
ReplyDeleteLoving the veggies, Bill! I am also enjoying the feeling of putting good food in with some guidance from you but without the measuring and rules that I've lived with on 'diets' in the past...I look forward to learning more and more about this way of eating and continuing to get healthier and ! Thank you!
Holy &*%@! Is it really possible that I could lose 4 pounds already, eating great tasting food whenever I'm hungry!?! I haven't seen this number in a few years!!! I'm having breakfast right now...grapes, bread with oil. Later on when I'm hungry again, I'll snack on the yogurt parfait with fruit, honey and nuts. Yum!
