Eating / A Day In The Life of SANE (2 of 2)

A Day In The Life of SANE (2 of 2)

by Raina Singh, Master SANE Certified Coach

Read Part 1 Here

Congratulations on making the commitment to go SANE! By now you have already gone through the course, “How To Use Your Tools” and are feeling ready to jump on in!

Except for one little question…

“But… HOW do I eat that many vegetables in a day?!”

We have all had that thought when we first started our personal SANE Journeys (head on over to your coaching and support group, plenty will share the same feeling). You are not alone!

To help you get started we have taken the “Feel Great” goal and created examples of how this would look meal-wise over the course of a day.

Feel Great Goal:

  • 8 servings of Non Starchy Vegetables (NSV)
  • 3 servings of Nutrient Dense Protein (NDP)
  • 3 servings of Whole Food Fats (WFF), and
  • 0-3 servings of Low Fructose Fruits (LFF).

Below are examples of sample SANE days, all that satisfy the criteria set by the ‘Feel Great’ goal:
