Westville has always supported my ‘healthy and happy’ lifestyle. And, what I love most about it, besides its cool NYC vibe (which hasn’t changed since I left NY), is the abundance of yummy veggie dishes. Yay for fiber!
After getting certified as a Holistic Health Coach, I’ve often gotten bombarded with the question, ‘How do I lose weight?’, ‘I want to be as skinny as her…’, and ‘How do I make my stomach go in?’ Valid questions for sure, but what’s the general answer to give everyone?
What people don’t realize is how important it is to eat good-quality vegetables. By eating veggies, you increase your fiber intake, which in turn, gets things moving down there and furthermore, leads to a smaller waistline. Also, when you eat tasty vegetable dishes, you tend to get fuller faster causing you to automatically reduce eating the ‘bad stuff.’ I try to aim to include different colors in my vegetable dishes so it is appealing to the eyes. Example: Add carrots and red bell peppers to your usual green salad. It really makes a difference!
This may sound like the easiest thing to do, but you’d be shocked to know most people forget to eat their vegetables. (maybe too much nagging from our Moms?)
Westville seems to have mastered that ability. My friend and I decided to catch up at their Chelsea location (they have 4 locations in total). We decided on getting a Kale Greek Salad with grilled salmon (to die for) and a plate of 4 market sides which included summer quinoa with mint, mango and pineapple, zucchini with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, Brussels sprouts with honey Dijon, and roasted beets with goat cheese and walnuts. I walked out feeling so satisfied that I didn’t even glance at the dessert menu. I was walked out a happy camper with no guilt! Westville, http://www.westvillenyc.com
