DONE-FOR-YOU MEAL SERVICES
While we encourage you to learn how to cook and shop for healthy meals during your program, many people find it convenient to have a few ready-to-go meals that correspond with their program dietary transitions. We have found that these pre-made meal companies offer weekly meal options and individual entrees that typically correspond with most, if not all, of your program dietary transitions and utilize organic produce and properly-fed animal proteins. It is still important for you to read ingredient lists and confirm that any meals you choose work with your dietary transitions. Long-term, these done-for-you meal providers can help you keep your dietary changes intact while providing easy options for meals that typically cost less than what most people spend on lunch each day at work.

FERMENTED FOODS
Beneficial Bacteria in Your Diet
When “probiotic” foods are discussed, most people think of yogurt. However, yogurt is typically filled with sugar, artificial sweeteners, and usually contains unhealthy dairy sources. Fermented foods are a great way to introduce healthy bacteria to the gut through the diet and they taste great, too. If you aren’t familiar with fermented foods, these resources will give you the tools needed to make your own fermented veggies at home and begin enjoying the benefits that come from natural probiotics.
