When I was heavy, I would dread the thought of going to the gym. Just thinking about it would make me break out in a sweat!

I would work out but would get nowhere. As I eventually discovered, weight loss is like 90 percent what food you eat and only like 10 percent exercise.

Plant Based World Conference & Expo is coming to New York City this week! Have you got your tickets yet? Link: http://www.plantbasedworldexpo.com/

I'm really looking forward to the expo. Dr. Michael Greger is the one plant based doctor I haven't met yet. I've admired his work and really look forward to his presentation.

We are giving away a pair of Full Community Day passes to Plant Based World Conference & Expo this coming June 8. Check out over 100 plant-based brands and attend sessions with leaders in the plant-based movement.

I first learned about Dr. Joel Fuhrman back in 2012, when I was first started my weight loss journey. He had an enormous impact on how I ate back then when I started and it continues to this day. Although I follow all the plant based doctors now, I credit Dr. Fuhrman for opening my eyes to healthy plant based foods.

I still eat his recommended GBOMBS foods (greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries and seeds) along with a variety of other plant based foods. The GBOMBS foods specifically provide all the essential micronutrients you need to live a healthy life.
