One word that all diet conscious people overuse and all diet aversive people run away from is “calories” and no matter how much this word is hated or loved, it still remains misconceived by everyone. Dietician Paula Norris is putting an end to this confusion by posting pictures of two almost look-alike healthy plates side by side and asking her Instagram followers to spot which one is a high calorie meal and which one is not. The difference is always subtle however, the contrast between the calorie count shows us how small tweaks can result in drastic impacts.
Each photograph is paired with a detailed caption by Norris which explains the difference between the two plates, show which changes create the biggest impact as well as the recipe of the healthy plate. Norris shares, “Green powders, juice detoxes, Paleo and blood type diets–unfortunately they’ve been shoved in our faces making healthy eating unnecessarily complicated. The focus needs to be on smaller, sustainable dietary changes.”
