TESTIMONIALS
“The 3-2-1 resource makes it simple so that it’s attainable for busy people! I still was able to eat the other things I enjoy but added in more fresh foods”
- Beth Crow
“Personally, I loved the 3-2-1 method of measuring and eating the core food staples. As someone who claimed to hate fruit, it made it so easy to eat my serving size and throughout the whole challenge I only missed 4 servings! Plus eating this way helped me diminish poorer food choices (my fav sugar) because I was so focused on eating the good stuff I didn't have time to worry about eating less desirable choices.”
- Heidi Taggart
THE WHY & HOW IT WORKS
You might be thinking that only focusing on protein, vegetables and fruit is too basic. Or that there is so much more to nutrition so it feels like you are not doing enough. Don’t get us wrong, we are all unique individuals with different needs when it comes to nutrition, but for most of us the basics is where we REALLY need to focus. Yet we often get distracted by diet culture as it feeds us with all the things we NEED to be doing or the supplements we need to throw money at in order to see results. You know why? Because telling someone that eating enough protein, fruits and vegetables, drinking enough water, getting adequate sleep each night and moving your body multiple times in the week isn’t “sexy”. These are things they can’t sell you, so you will rarely hear them talk about it. Diet culture is what feeds the feeling where we think we need to be doing more, when we need to do LESS with more focus.
The 3-2-1 (3 protein, 2 vegetables, and 1 fruit) nutritional habits can be the foundation and goal for all of us to sustain year round and for years to come. Taking the time to work on these simple habits so they become second nature and a part of your everyday life needs to be the focus to start.
Can you build off of these? Heck yes! But until we can do the basics REALLY WELL we shouldn’t be trying to do more with our nutrition. You wouldn’t build a home without a foundation, would you? Same thing applies to your nutrition.
