I touched on this yesterday, but one of my 🌟FAVORITE SIMPLE TIPS🌟 to look and feel your absolute BEST is to fill half of your plate with fresh greens. This can be any green you love: massaged kale, shredded iceberg, chopped romaine, spring greens, arugula, and more! 🥬
Why is this such an amazing tip?
🌟 Greens are extremely FILLING but have a LOW CALORIC DENSITY
