"Power Up with Full Plate Living" with Amy Hanus

Amy Hanus leads Full Plate Living, a foundation-funded FREE online nutrition resource for people who want doable small-steps that lead to big health outcomes. As the Program Director for the Ardmore Institute of Health foundation, Amy loves being able to share the power of fiber foods and how eating a plant predominant diet can transform our health. She helped develop Full Plate Living’s lifestyle medicine nutrition approach, which shows you how to eat full plates of healthy, delicious food without feeling famished, frustrated or deprived. The best part of her job, she says, is celebrating when a member reaches a health goal, like seeing a number on the scale they haven’t seen in decades or wowing their doctor with an improved A1C or lower cholesterol.In this conversation Amy shares brief history of the foundation, their mission and purpose and how the Full Plate Living program delivers on that mission. Amy talks about the main concepts of Full Plate Program - fiber-focus approach, getting a variety of fresh whole fruits and veggies, legumes, grains, feeling satisfied with the abundance of food, while also achieving your health goals. She share simple tips for turning any meal (like frozen lasagna) into a Full Plate Meal! Amy also answers common question about "too much carbs" and "not enough protein".
