[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another question for OP- did you do anything to her diet other than up fruits and veggies? Don’t know why people are attacking that as “dieting...” Seems like a great approach.[/quote] The MD said that the only evidence based approach was to add (add fruit/veg, add activity) and that restricting backfires. I was honestly surprised she wasn’t saying, cut back on bread, switch to leaner meats, etc. But she was pretty clear. That said, adding that much produce was, without question, a big change, for her and the household in general. If you’re actually going to hit a goal of minimum 5 servings, you have to not only have fruit or veg with every meal, you have to make snacks include it too. I pack probably 3 servings of fruit/veg in her lunchbox (because she won’t eat them all). [/quote]
