@Beth Bollinger - Talk about healthy + being delicious! I feel healthier just looking at those photos!

The longer I do what I do for a living the more I understand why this is so important: "choosing foods that provide cellular nourishment while supporting sustained energy, mental clarity, and lifelong vitality."

One of the 3 pillars of my ongoing wellbeing equation. Thank you for sharing this so others can be healthy as well.

I love that it’s all on your plate at once I tend to “build “ as I go. I’m going to try taking pics too! As always you’re an inspiration. Thank you

Build as you go is great too! Taking photos certainly keeps me accountable- it would be fun to see if that works for you as well!🧡

New to this! Is there a recipe for each picture?

Hi Toni and welcome! The point is that there is no recipe and that these are simple, assembled meals! I have shared thousands of these types of photos that call out ingredients on Instagram and have just started sharing them here as well. I wanted to simplify healthy eating and to show exactly how to reach 25-30 grams of protein and ample fiber per meal, along with a wide variety of nutrient dense foods to support healthy aging. If you have questions about a particular meal, I am happy to answer and help you to re-create some of these!

I appreciate this approach to prioritizing plant based foods and thoughtfully integrating other protein sources. Definitely important to prioritize vegetables, seeds, etc as foundations of long term health (as well as considering animal welfare in the process)!

Like 2,000 calories per meal?

Beth Bollinger's avatar

I do not personally count calories, but my meals tend to be approximately 450-600 calories. 2,000 calories per meal would be excessive for most people.

Given that these meals are pretty low-carb, and not going to spike blood sugar even without any fiber, why it is important to optimize the fibers?

Beth Bollinger's avatar

This is a pretty comprehensive post about fiber that includes why and how to get to 10 grams of fiber per meal or 30 grams per day and links to recipes, too!🧡 https://nestwellness.substack.com/p/fiber-and-blood-sugar-part-1-2-beyond?r=2plwal

Optimizing fiber is important for other reasons, not just for blood sugar balance. Fiber feeds our gut microbiome, helps to reduce cholesterol and certain cancers, is beneficial for heart health, detoxification, and overall metabolic health and longevity🧡
