In this 30-day meal plan, we incorporated the principles of an anti-inflammatory diet while cutting down on carbohydrates to help you meet your health goals. While carbohydrates are not the enemy, reducing the carbohydrate intake allows us to include a higher proportion of healthy fats from nuts, seeds, olive oil and avocados—staples of the anti-inflammatory diet—while still staying within the calorie goal. We kept the carbohydrates between 30-35% of the days total calories (for reference, the average diet is typically 50% carbohydrates or more), so it’s not so low that you’ll miss out on important nutrients, like fiber....

There’s a long list of foods you may think are off limits. And they range from the special treats—wine, chocolate—to recently trending culprits, like fruit.

Luckily, there’s no need to have pause about these seven delicious and healthy options that have gotten a bit of a bad reputation....

I love vegetables. Big arugula salads loaded with crunchy raw veggies, roasted broccoli and cauliflower sprinkled with melty cheese and spiralized zucchini pretending to be pasta drenched in pesto all appear in my dinner rotation most weeks. But I’m always looking for ways to eat more vegetables and to get my friends and family to join in on my #EatMoreVeg craze. Let’s just admit it—sometimes the best way to do it is by getting a little sneaky and putting the veggies into replacements for your favorite carbs, or even better, tucking them into sweet desserts....

Apples are first crushed and pressed into apple juice, and then mixed with yeast to ferment.
