Take eating more veggies a step further, and make more of your meals plant-based. Studies show that vegetarians (and even more so, vegans) routinely have lower bodyweights, Seattle-based registered dietitian nutritionist and Arivale Coach Ginger Hultin, MS, CSO, told POPSUGAR. That's because plant-based foods like veggies are high in fibre, and research shows that women who followed a higher-fibre diet were at a reduced likelihood of having an increased waist circumference.
Try eating a more plant-based diet, focusing on veggies, whole grains, and plant proteins such as beans, nuts, seeds, and soy products. You could even set up a plan where you eat vegan on certain days of the week (try these tempeh tacos on Taco Tuesdays!) or eat vegan until dinner.
