Our Nutrition and Food Philosophy

  1. Eat Real, Whole Foods: Eat foods that are as close to their natural form and that have been processed or refined as little as possible and are free from additives or other artificial substances. Limit processed and packaged foods with a focus on foods that are fresh and close to their original form in nature. 
  2. Balanced Nutrition and Exercise: We believe in balance when it comes to nutrition and working out. You don't have to be perfect all of the time; you just need to learn to do your best, most of the time! Aiming for perfection is a great way to sabotage yourself. 
  3. Balanced Nutrition: This meal plan operates under the principle of teaching you how to eat nutritionally  — giving you insight into a balanced breakdown of carbohydrate, fat, and protein, as well as what portion sizes might look like when you are trying to reach or manage your bodyweight goals. Eating nutritionally is not separate from being able to listen to what our body’s telling us, rather, this is in combination with growing an awareness of our bodies' internal cues.
  4. Mindful Eating: We have created this meal plan to not only be a nutritionally-balanced program, but also one that teaches you to become more aware of internal cues of hunger, fullness, and cravings. 
  5. Keeping Things Simple and Sustainable: There are a lot of different ideas out there when it comes to nutrition, but we think ours is one of the simplest and most sustainable. 

Learning to Eat Well for the Rest of Your Life

Our goal is for you to learn how to eat well for the rest of your life — this is not a diet, but a lifestyle. Think of this meal plan as a general guideline and idea-generating tool for you to use. 

We want this meal plan to help you learn how to meet your nutritional needs with real food — not with meal replacement shakes, powders, or supplements. This meal plan has been built in conjunction with registered dietitians and is based largely off of the kinds of foods that we regularly include in our own personal diets. We believe in eating real, whole foods as often as possible, in order to create a diet that is nutrient dense, filling, and fully capable of supporting an active lifestyle.

Whether you are brand new to the concept of healthy eating, or you feel like you are a veteran at making smart food choices, there is a lot to be learned from following this meal plan (after gaining express approval from your personal health care physician, of course).
