It’s no secret that smack dab at the heart of my stay-trim-and-energized strategy is to pile the veggies on my plant-strong plate.   I am always flabbergasted when a woman tells me that she struggles with getting in 2 or 3 servings of plant foods a day.   I am so used to  2  1/2 to 3 times that.

And it also tells me a lot about why she has a weight problem.

To, help things along in the “up  your veggie count” department, here’s a list providing endless variety.   Deep thanks to Margo for sending this handy chart to me.  Which, by the way, you can also download with several links embedded by clicking HERE.
