You know you need to eat better.
You’ve noticed your pants are tighter, and you figure you’re probably eating too much of the wrong things. You decide to learn about the wellness icons you’ve seen on Publix shelves.
You also discover a series of health articles written by our corporate dietitians. One of them talks about the benefits of plant-based diets. There are tips to incorporate more plants into your diet, such as filling half your plate with vegetables, making one vegetarian meal each week, eating more whole grains or following the Mediterranean diet.
As you browse the articles, you learn how to estimate portion sizes using your hand. You never knew one serving of meat is about the size of your palm! You also find out that people who track what they eat are better able to manage their weight, control their portions and stick to healthy eating habits. And there are great tips to help you clean out your pantry so you can toss what you don’t need and buy more of what you do.
That night, you download an app to help track what you eat. Then, you browse Aprons recipes for Better Choice meal ideas and make a shopping list full of fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grains and lean meats you enjoy. You’re excited about all the ways Publix can help you improve your eating habits.
