One way to reduce our calorie intake is to eat food that is naturally low in energy, so even if you overeat, it isn’t a problem.
Of course, this means eating a diet that is plant-based or heavily plant-forward.
Imagine trying to eat a pound of broccoli. Even if you were super hungry, you’d really have to work at it.
- Pound of broccoli: Around 300 calories.
- One slice of pizza: Around 300 calories. And that’s not including the garlic bread.
It’s hard to get too many calories from a plant-forward or plant-based diet. Not impossible—just really hard. That’s the friction.
