One cup of those little greens packs in 18 grams of protein and 37% of your daily value of iron, but just 1 gram of fat—making them a lean-substitute for meat dishes. If you use canned lentils rinse them, to get rid off sodium.

I used to be a runner. One day middle of the run, I had my feet numb up to my knee. It was sciatica from a car accident years ago. Then because having problems with my Achilles, I started using a cane. Now I changed my diet completely... no more sugar or process foods. My recent recipes are vegetarian, I do not eat meat anymore! Also no sugar, flour and very low carbohydrate meals .This is my journey now. Good luck on yours! 😄✌️
