About this ebook
Don't Just Eat Your Veggies. Love to Eat Them— Every Day!
You know that vegetables are good for you, but you're still struggling to eat them regularly. You would like to take better care of your health, but there's always something standing in the way: little time for shopping and cooking, a lack of knowledge what to eat, or your taste buds protesting the change.
Eating veggies doesn't have to be hard, and you too can learn to love eating them every day. It all comes down to some simple, but powerful actions you can take today to transform your health.
Optimizing your diet can have an immense impact on your life, and vegetables are the closest thing to a magic pill. Written by bestselling personal development author, salad-addicted Martin Meadows, How to Eat More Vegetables is a concise guide to help you eat and enjoy this most important food for a fulfilling life. Advice described in the book includes, among others:
- 5 techniques to get motivated to eat more vegetables (that have nothing to do with the "vegetables are good for you" argument).
- What vegetables you should eat, divided into a low-return group of 13 vegetables and a top 20 high-return group (learn which veggies give you the best bang for your buck).
- 11 highly effective methods to eat vegetables every day (including 58 vegetable-rich alternatives to popular, less healthy foods).
- How to enjoy the taste of vegetables (including 3 specific strategies to use every day).
- 6 strategies to enjoy vegetables without adding too much fat to them (you don't have to coat your veggies with butter, cheese or dressing to enjoy the flavor).
- 13 ways to prepare vegetables to grab and go (no more excuses that you can't eat veggies because you're rarely home).
- 7 methods to avoid boredom when eating veggies (use them every day and you'll keep things interesting forever).
- How to deal with fresh vegetables spoiling so quickly (find out which vegetables last for at least two weeks).
- 6 ideas if you can't afford to buy more vegetables (including a common excuse that shouldn't hold you back).
- 10 ways to work vegetables into breakfast (yes, you can eat veggies with every meal).
- 7 tips to deal with vegetables giving you digestive problems (because eating veggies shouldn't be uncomfortable).
There's no denying the fact that your health is paramount to your enjoyment of life.
While you can't control everything that happens to your body, you're in control over your diet. Proper nutrition will lead to more energy, better appearance, and mental performance.
Manifest your devotion to your loved ones and to yourself by eating vegetables every day. You only stand to gain.

About Martin Meadows
Prologue
I want you to become a superhero.
To claim your superpower abilities, you don’t need to travel to a remote temple high in the mountains and train for decades. All you need to do is invest a few weeks into creating a new habit in your life that will give you more energy, optimize your performance, and ultimately help you live a more fulfilling life.
What is this habit? It’s proper nutrition, and more specifically, eating vegetables daily.
Food has an unbelievable impact not only on our bodies, but also our psychology. Optimizing your diet can have an immense impact on your life.
Take dark green leafy vegetables like Brussels sprouts, kale or spinach. Did you know that they’re a rich source of folate which helps regulate mood and whose shortage is linked with depression?¹
Little folate in your diet = little happiness in your life.
It isn’t just dark green leafy vegetables that regulate your mood: all vegetables can help.
In a study on over 80,000 people, individuals who ate more fruits and vegetables felt happier and had a higher life satisfaction than people who didn’t eat enough portions (well-being peaks at approximately 7 portions per day).²
Again, little veggies = little fun.
Now consider beta-carotene, a red-orange pigment found in large amounts in carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, spinach and collards. Eating beta-carotene rich foods will give your skin a nice, healthy glow that most people think you can only get with expensive skin creams.
According to a small study conducted by psychologists at University of Western Australia, beta-carotene not only enhances your facial color, but also makes you more attractive and look healthier.³
The more veggies you eat, the better you look. How cool is that?
There are plenty of other surprising benefits of vegetables, but I think that you get the point: vegetables are like Gummiberry Juice, the secret concoction gummi bears in the animated television series consumed regularly to gain superpowers that enabled them to escape from all sorts of troubles.
Yet, because so many people think that vegetables are unappetizing, expensive, hard to prepare, or otherwise challenging to consume, they don’t eat even a quarter of what they should be eating.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that only nine percent of Americans met the intake recommendations for vegetables.⁴
Nine percent! It’s incredible that vegetable growers aren’t out of business yet.
Seven of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States are from chronic diseases— diseases can be largely prevented with a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.⁵
As a self-certified veggie addict and personal development writer, I had to write this book. It pains me that so many people lack energy, struggle with depression, obesity, high blood pressure and other unpleasant conditions largely because they lack key nutrients vegetables provide in spades.
If this book helps at least a handful of people, I’ll be happy knowing that I made at least a small positive impact on the world.
Let’s proceed to the first chapter addressing one of the biggest questions: how do you get motivated to eat more vegetables?
Chapter 1: Get Motivated to Eat More Vegetables
You know that eating vegetables is good for you. Yet, you don’t eat them as often as you should. Vegetables being good for you is not a good enough reason to convince you to change your ways.
In this chapter we’ll go through the most effective techniques to get yourself motivated to eat more vegetables. These techniques are simple, but don’t let their simplicity fool you. Done right, they will inspire you to change your diet.
Technique #1: Identify What’s Important to You
The argument that vegetables are good for you is weak because it fails to produce an emotional impact. Yes, you’ll be healthier when you eat vegetables, but so what? How do the benefits apply specifically to you?
Start by identifying your most important values. Don’t spend a lot of time on this exercise as
