    WTF.

    This is not the kind of stuff normal people respond to - macro percentages and cutting out the staple of their diet? How are they supposed to make sense of that?

    You want people to slowly make changes to their diet and adapt them to their lifestyle. The OP said they were a couple discussing how their vegetable intake has dropped recently - does that sound like someone who tracks their macros and weighs all her food on precision scales?

    A bit of context goes a long way. Maybe you have been nutritionally savvy your whole life, maybe you made the switch with relative ease, but to assume that everyone else would achieve it as easily isn't fair.

    Why does it have to be slowly? Give people some credit. I'm sure 40 30 30 won't bamboozle too many people. People will.respond when they see changes. They'll see them faster when they eat properly.

    Any major.success story I've evwr seen with diet has had an instant change rather than a slowly slowly bit.by bit change

    Because small changes over a long time period are easier to maintain. Willpower is a limited resource with people. Small changes require less of it.

    Well have to agree to disagree on that one.

    Spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms!

    There can be days that I don't eat any veg. There can be days I eat 10 portions, I try to get as much in as possible. Spinach would be my biggest one, I throw it into everything!

    I'm a spinach lover as well!! Have it nearly everyday!! :)

    I took note of what we were eating for a few days after without changing anything and I had been slightly under estimating our fruit and veg intake. We definitely had slipped in comparison to before baby arrived. With a little effort we have upped our intake and variety so that five is the minimum and usually it's 3-4 more than that, leafy greens are a staple again. With regards to bread, we don't eat a lot of it anyway. Maybe two slices at the weekend or a homemade pizza or the occasional naan with a homemade curry. I don't see anything wrong with it in moderation. We try to eat good quality meat and vegetables where possible.
