And we find that in this randomized control trial, when you apply these concepts, you lower your weight, you reduce your waist circumference, you lower your triglyceride levels, you're happier, you sleep better, you have more energy, you're less hungry, which is actually kind of interesting. You're less hungry, yet you're losing weight. That's pretty cool. So all of these benefits start to unfold.

So here's what I would come to say that like to me, I have moved past. In fact, I kind of don't like dietary and nutrition labels at this point. Like I really don't like them. Because we're oversimplifying people. We're oversimplifying diets. So I'm here to say, forget that. Like, forget what we call it. Focus on the quality of your diet.

One of the ways that you can really enrich the quality of your diet is by adding more variety of different plant-based foods. And if 30 sounds intimidating, don't panic. Because truly, like 10 years ago, I was probably at 5. What you want to do is just start slow and steady adding more. All fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, and spices. They all count.

I think we're referring to the same thing. I would use the word smoothie. Like basically we're talking about throwing a whole bunch of plant-based stuff into a blender, pressing the button and letting it buzz, right? And I think it's a great way to start your day. So a few things about this. Number one, it's more easily digestible.

This is something I would recommend to nearly all of the listeners. Number two, they can be delicious. They should be delicious. There's no reason for it to not be delicious.

And number four, same is true for plant diversity. Like you can easily get to eight, 10, 12 different plants. It's a Monday morning. It's a new week that started. You want to get to 30 by the end of the week. You throw some stuff into a blender. It takes you three minutes and you're already at 12. That's not a bad start.
