The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Cindy Posted by Delta on 7/5/2025, 1:58 pm I got to the party late because we were traveling but I left you a message with some help under your dietitian post if you haven't seen it.

I just went down and read it… Posted by Cindy on 7/5/2025, 4:52 pm, in reply to "Cindy" And am answering it here so you will see it. Thank you for that link! They had a weekly meal planner for free that I signed up for. I will let you know how I like it. I was wondering how I would get 50 different fruits and veggies in during the week, but I think eventually I will get close to that. I need to check what the dietician said as I believe it was 50 different types but maybe it was 50 servings a week? Either way it is more than I have been getting as I was basically just eating an apple a day and no veggies most days which is terrible. I have been eating a mix of strawberries, watermelon, and grapes for breakfast which since I fast I usually don’t eat until around 11:00. It has kept me full! I have to admit I am excited about trying this way of eating. I will keep you posted!!

Okay... Posted by Joan on 7/5/2025, 6:15 pm, in reply to "I just went down and read it…" If it's 50 servings a week, I'm covered! When I checked with Dr. Google, the recommendation was 30 plant foods a week.

I’m wondering…. Posted by Cindy on 7/5/2025, 8:17 pm, in reply to "Okay..." If that wasn’t what she told me. I’m not a vegetable person so this is all so new to me but I am open to trying it.

Cindy Posted by Joan on 7/6/2025, 9:17 am, in reply to "I’m wondering…." This sounds like a party game to me... "Name/list 50 veggies or fruits." Guess what? I'm not sure I know the names of 50 veggies/fruits. I looked up a list, and just laughed. I would lose! Before I forget, I remembered after the fact that when I posted the Thought of the Day last Friday, it should have been a Friday Funny!

Joan Posted by Delta on 7/6/2025, 4:15 pm, in reply to "Cindy" You can also include nuts, seeds and grains. So that ups the list a lot. I think it is 50 servings of plant based foods. Although we would want to vary that as much as possible to get the most nutrition it doesn't have to be 50 vegetables different vegetables a week. If we get fifty we are not going to have time or stomach space since that is a lot of fiber, to have processed foods.

Your Posted by Delta on 7/6/2025, 4:16 pm, in reply to "Joan" game made me laugh. I failed big time but my husband and I had a good time trying to out do each other.

No worries!…. Posted by Cindy on 7/6/2025, 10:33 am, in reply to "Cindy" I hadn’t even thought of that! I may just post a Sunday funny! Lol
