Athletic Greens: Replacement for vegetables?

Dear Friend,

I take Athletic Greens (AG1) every day, so we’re good on fiber and vegetables for the day…

While the name and marketing can lead one to believe the above, it is not why we take it and recommend it for our clients.

AG1 Contents:

• Vitamins and Minerals

• Superfood complex

• Probiotics

• Digestive Enzymes

• Adaptogens

• Antioxidants

• Herbal Extracts

We have found AG1 contributes to a healthy gut and most of our clientele report noticeable improvement in bowel movements. That said, it is NOT a high source of fiber.

The key to nutrition is finding a plan that can be sustained regularly. Aside from my love of carbs, a persistent challenge is eating enough fiber. I’m typically pretty satiated from the protein, so the volume of fiber needed becomes the barrier.

Most recently, an idea from one of our clients was to add a scoop of Psyllium Husk to our morning AG1. We noticed significant improvements in bowel movements and decrease in ApoB levels.

Daily Fiber intake tips:

• AG1 with Psyllium husk added: Drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, need to drink this fast before it congeals

• Okra: We make a batch of baked Okra and eat throughout the week. My GI tract only needs 2-3 Okra in a meal, more can overshoot into loose stools

• Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage

  • Hasegawa family needs the supersize jar of Kimchi now that the kids are crushing it

Next time we will talks specifics about probiotics and some new products.

At BodyTimeMD, we continue to tinker with our nutrition regimen with the goal of building a plan that is sustainable slow and steady. Hope this provides some insight, let’s talk if you are interested in finding out more about your body.
