Do Vegetables Really Provide Protein? 🤷🏻♀️

Hi Reader! First of all -- let me apologize and explain: Just to give you some background information: I have 2 newsletters. This newsletter, Better Than Dieting, is for you -- all of my subscribers who have been with me for years who read my stories about navigating the nutrition world, busting diet myths, learning about what media is trying to sell us and so much more. My other newsletter is called, BTD Media Makers, and that one is focused on the other hat I wear, which is that of a media trainer, trying to help dietitians and health professionals gain confidence and skills to help them get their names in the news as I have done for so many years. So last week, the platform that I use to send out my newsletters changed their format a bit and I accidentally sent you my media newsletter. I hope that it may have been of interest to you just the same, but if not, again, I apologize and now we're back on track! As always, sending warmest regards and appreciation, Bon __________________________________________________________ 9 Natural and Effective Ways to Lower Blood Pressure, According to Health Experts When you think about foods rich in protein, vegetables probably aren’t the first thing that pop to mind. But there are actually quite a few veggies that provide at least a little amount of protein, so making these picks part of your regular rotation can help you in your mission to get enough of it. “Even though they don’t add a super dose of protein, I love highlighting the fact that nutrient-dense vegetables do have some — and that’s one great reason for people to eat more veggies,” says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, media dietitian, creator of BetterThanDieting.com and author of Read it Before You Eat It — Taking Your from Label to Table.

"75 days is [also] a long time to go without encountering a holiday, a birthday, or a vacation celebration where your favorite foods may call to you," she says—which is why it's important to follow well-balanced eating plans like the one above. Apart from being potentially restrictive, the inclusion of language like "cheat days" can also be problematic since it implies that straying from your diet is "bad" in some way. (There are also no clear guidelines from 75 Hard for what constitutes a "cheat" meal). Plus, the requirement to take regular photos of yourself during 75 hard places emphasis on changing physical appearance and making "improvements"—which may be a harmful idea for some people, Taub-Dix says.
