Eat Right Naija was created to help people like myself who want to improve their diet, lose weight, get healthier and still enjoy great tasting food. Sounds ambitious, but through personal experience I’ve discovered that it’s possible (and dare I say easy?) to achieve if you eat a whole foods, plant based diet (wfpb)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Eating whole foods means avoiding processed, refined foods as much as possible. A plant-based diet contains little or no food from animal sources, i.e. meat, fish, eggs, and dairy.<\/span><\/p>\n \u200b<\/strong>Why wfpb<\/span>?\u00a0Study after study<\/a>\u00a0has found that people who follow a whole foods, plant-based diet (vegetarians and vegans)\u00a0tend to live longer and have lower rates of lifestyle diseases than people who consume animal proteins. This is literally the healthiest way to eat. And best of all, it’s not a crash diet – it’s a lifestyle that will help you achieve and maintain your optimal weight and overall wellbeing long term.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.65″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eatrightnaija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/About-ERN-banner-2.jpg” _builder_version=”3.0.65″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.65″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.65″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”|||5px”]<\/p>\n The “plant-based” part may sound unattainable if you are not prepared to give up meat, fish, eggs and dairy. However, you do not necessarily have to eat 100% plant-based in order to be healthy<\/span>. Although 100% plants is ideal,\u00a0a 90-95% plant based diet is sufficient to\u00a0avoid the major health risks of animal protein consumption<\/a>. In practice, this means reducing your intake of animal proteins to a single serving\u00a0once or twice a week<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to\u00a0<\/span>recipes for delicious wfpb meals,<\/a>\u00a0on this website you will also find\u00a0<\/span>health and wellness tips<\/a>, a vegan cleanse programme<\/a> to refresh your health journey<\/span>,\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>a directory<\/a>\u00a0of places to shop and eat healthy<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We’re fully committed to helping you achieve your health goals, one delicious meal at a time<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n x<\/span><\/p>\n Itua Iyoha<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Founder Eatrightnaija.com<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”27px|0px|3px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.65″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_divider color=”#626262″ show_divider=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.65″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ custom_padding=”30px|0px|54px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.65″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.65″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_team_member admin_label=”Team Member” name=”ITUA IYOHA” position=”Founder” image_url=”https:\/\/www.eatrightnaija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Itua-about-photo.png” animation=”fade_in” twitter_url=”http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/auditorone” linkedin_url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/itua-yvonne-iyoha-7a65a283″ _builder_version=”3.0.65″ \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_team_member admin_label=”Team Member” name=”femi abena” position=”Content creator” image_url=”https:\/\/www.eatrightnaija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Femi-avatar.png” animation=”fade_in” facebook_url=”#” twitter_url=”#” google_url=”#” linkedin_url=”#” _builder_version=”3.0.65″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ inner_shadow=”on” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.65″][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=”About us” subhead=”We are your healthy lifestyle coach” background_layout=”dark” text_orientation=”center” header_fullscreen=”on” header_scroll_down=”on” scroll_down_icon=”%%0%%” scroll_down_icon_size=”40px” scroll_down_icon_size_tablet=”40px” scroll_down_icon_size_phone=”40px” scroll_down_icon_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” background_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.21)” _builder_version=”3.0.65″ title_font_size=”50px” title_font_size_phone=”25px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” subhead_font_size_phone=”14px” subhead_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” background_image=”https:\/\/www.eatrightnaija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Harmony-home.jpg” parallax=”on” \/][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ custom_padding=”50px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.65″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eatrightnaija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/About-ERN-banner.jpg” _builder_version=”3.0.65″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.65″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.65″] Eat Right Naija was created to help people like myself who […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"spay_email":""},"yoast_head":"\nThe team<\/h1>\n
