The reason fiber helps us control our weight is that it fills the belly yet yields few calories since fiber is, for the most part, not something that we can digest. Kathy Freston
You can do something as simple as drinking two cups of water before a meal to fill your belly a bit so that you don’t overeat, or change up your cheese from dairy to nondairy. Kathy Freston
I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it’s the thing that makes us feel good and connected. Kathy Freston
Personally, I enjoy a bowl of brown rice for breakfast most of the time. Kathy Freston
We’ve all seen chicken portrayed as the low-fat, heart-healthy alternative to red meat for years, but it no longer adds up. You might want to lean away from eating birds and lean toward more plant-based options of protein like black beans, lentils, tofu, chickpeas and whole grains. Kathy Freston
Whole foods like grains and beans release their sugar very, very slowly because of the fiber in them, and they don’t give you a sugar rush. They feed your cells as needed, and as a result, you have loads of stable energy that powers you through the day. Kathy Freston
We all thought of chicken as lean, protein-rich food that’s good for weight watching, but the truth is chicken might actually be making us fatter! Kathy Freston
I missed a tuna-fish sandwich with mayo on toasted wheat bread more than anything. Six months after I went vegan, I snuck into a deli and took one home. And, of course, it wasn’t nearly as good as I fantasized. It tasted, well, fishy. Kathy Freston
I drive a car that has pleather seats. Kathy Freston
When you gradually add in nutrient-dense, fiber-rich foods, you simply stop feeling cravings. You run out of space in your belly for the old junk. Instead of craving, you feel full, fulfilled, and content. Kathy Freston
So if you serve a whole chicken to your family like grandma did, you may be serving them 10 times as much fat than the days of yesteryear. That’s a whole lotta fat, and big trouble for the waistline. Kathy Freston
I grew up in Doraville, Georgia and I ate barbecued ribs and chicken fried steak, and all kinds of cheesy grits, you know, and I never even thought twice about it. Kathy Freston
My favorite meal is I’ll make like a three-bean soup and I freeze half of it. But I’m also a big fan of meat alternatives, so I can still have my chicken and mashed potatoes and green beans, but I just have the chicken from a plant-based thing. Kathy Freston
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When you feed yourself what your body needs when it needs it, that’s love. So give your bod some TLC and sit down and enjoy a good, substantial breakfast. Kathy Freston
I was weaned on chicken-fried steak and hominy grits with goopy gravy all over. I loved meat and wore fur. Kathy Freston
What you want is to rev up your metabolism so that you are burning fat and calories, not preserving fat and calories. Kathy Freston
So if you’re rooting around for something to eat, grab an apple while you’re looking, and usually by the time you’re finished eating it, your hunger will have been sidelined; it’s crowding out at its best! Kathy Freston
Hunger and self-control do not go hand in hand. Kathy Freston
You don’t need to stick to tough rules or overnight changes; you need not rely on hardcore discipline that makes you hate your life. You need only focus on progress, not perfection. Lean in to the process of losing weight, and it will happen easily. Kathy Freston
And check this out: If every American had one meat-free day per week, it would be the same as taking eight million cars off American roads in a year. Kathy Freston
Here’s the secret to weight loss: It’s all about crowding out, not cutting out. Kathy Freston
Most diets would have you cutting things out from your diet; they are about denial and discipline. Kathy Freston
Though I’m vegan and advocate that others eat a plant-based diet, I know that many people aren’t quite ready to take that step in whole. Kathy Freston
