Meal Planning

Meal planning is deciding up front what you will eat all week.

Meal Planning Benefits for YOU

Ease and Happiness

Meal planning takes A LOT of energy. Yet, it is incredibly fulfilling. It brings an ease and happiness to feeding yourself and others.

Accomplishment

Imagine how good it feels to create a meal plan, shop the meal plan, and execute the meal plan. It feels empowering. It feels like accomplishment. It feels like success.

Control of your Health

And now imagine if the meal plan was a healthy meal plan. Not only do you have a sense of order with your meals, but you now can also feel and see the benefits of your work physically. Meal planning is your key to releasing stress over food and gaining control of your health. It will help you feel better mentally, emotionally, and physically!

Convenience and Organization

Meal planning is deciding up front what you will eat all week. And a game changer for organizing your life. You need to fuel your body all day long. This means lots of energy is devoted to making choices about what to put into your body. When you have a limited supply of mental energy to give to feeding yourself, you will make choices out of convenience. Those choices tend to be higher in fat, sugar, salt, and processed food, negatively affecting your health. Meal planning provides the convenience and organization you are looking for all week long if you put the work in ahead of time.

Honoring Yourself and your Body

Bottom line, it is about changing behaviors. It is about being mentally tough enough to change habits that are no longer serving you. It is about honoring yourself and your body. I know it is challenging to stop old habits and replace them with new habits. That takes mental, emotional, and physical energy. I know it is a lot to ask you to spend some of that energy up front, but the payoff is a piece of mind that makes it more than worth it. Plus, I am here to help you.

Meal planning on your own is very challenging, so let’s do it together.
