Parodi, and @FitBoxMealsAtl. The “Go Green” Nutrition Challenge requires you
two eat Green Veggies with a minimum of 3 meals or snacks today. DO NOT TAKE
this challenge lightly…
We also have created “Test You

So FitFamily what do I have for you
today? Let’s Go GREEN!
Nutrient Dense Food! What does
that mean? It means the food is packed with tons of nutrients, vitamins,
minerals and everything we need to thrive but does NOT have a lot of calories.
Greens are nutrient dense, low-fat and LOW-CALORIE. A cup of
spinach is 7 calories and a cup of kale is 33 calories. I promise you
won’t gain weight eating greens.
There is no drug, no surgery and no supplement that can get your digestive system on track as easily and effectively as dark green leafy vegetables. Here are some more benefits of adding greens to your diet:
- Boosts Energy
- Helps Control Hunger
- Adds lots of fiber, a nutrient needed for weight loss
- Keeps you full longer
- Lowers blood pressure
- Lowers risk of heart disease
- Reduces bloating and digestive problems
Please don’t skip this part of the
challenge. YOU CAN DO IT! I used to hate greens. I think the only
thing green I ate was lettuce on a Big Mac. I even picked out the green
skittles. Change is possible. My favorite thing to eat now is
greens. They are the foundation of my personal nutrition and I just feel
“off” without lots of greens daily. Think of the benefits, keep trying
new greens and your tastes will change as your nutrition and fitness improves.
*Remember: Your “Go Green” Nutrition Challenge requires that
today you eat Green Veggies with a minimum of 3 meals or snacks. Here are
some green recipes to try tonight or in the future. Let’s Go Green, Baby!
Now it’s time to sweat and for you
to #ShutUpAndTrain!!
