Low Fat, Low GI, Vegan meals for good health

Select Low GI, Low Fat, Vegan foods for every meal and snack.

For Lunch and Dinner: Fill 1/2 your plate with fresh cooked vegetables, 1/4 plate beans or legumes or lentils, 1/4 plate brown basmati rice and a low GI fresh fruit for dessert.

If you are having pasta (try Gluten free pasta) make sure it is cooked al dente and fill 1/3 of your plate with vegetables.

Walk at least 30-45 minutes a day for exercise and include some weight training, yoga or pilates 3 times a week.
**Walking after meals has been most beneficial for me** but walk whenever you can fit it into your daily routine.
