Why Meal Planning Works

We know that eating healthy, weight loss, and the weekly scramble of grocery shopping and getting dinner on the table every night is hard. All too often when we don’t have a plan in place, we end up reaching for processed foods, take-out, or eating plain chicken breast for the fourth time in one week.

This not only leads to dinner-time stress, it also adds to unwanted pounds and sometimes feelings of guilt that we aren’t feeding our families (and ourselves!) with healthy food we feel food about. This is only amplified when life gets busy, we get stressed, or we don’t make healthy eating a priority. One week of unhealthy eating turns into one month and five pounds turns to twenty-five before we know it.

Personally, I know this all too well. Before starting my own weight loss and health journey, every night consisted of panic as I stared blankly into the fridge, frustration when I sprinted to the store or called for pizza again, and unfortunately multiple failed weight loss attempts. It was a pretty miserable place to be and I felt out of control and unsuccessful.

That all changed when I finally started meal planning. For me it truly was the key to losing weight, getting healthy, and feeling good about meal time again. For the first time in years, I started to lose weight, keep it off, and most importantly enjoy and cherish meal time again.

However there is no denying that creating a meal plan from scratch takes time, lots and lots of time. And most people just don’t have that time. Almost everyone I talk to about meal planning said they knew it worked but in the same breath said, “I just don’t have time to find healthy recipes my family will eat and make shopping lists. It seems easy, but it takes forever.”

That’s why we are here to help! By doing all the hard work of meal planning for you, we make it easy to eat healthier, lose weight, and enjoy meals again without stress! Take a look at how it works below.

We truly believe that meal planning can be the thing that changes meal time stress, weight loss, and healthy living for you. We have seen this happen for countless members who are finally enjoying meal time again, eating healthier, and losing weight.

Slow Cooker Pepperoncini Beef aka Drip Beef

This tender, fall part pepperoncini beef, sometimes called Italian Beef or Drop Beef, made in the crockpot with a few simple ingredients is easy to prepare and couldn't be more delicious. Serve it with some cauliflower mashed potatoes  or stuffed into sandwiches for a tasty meal the whole family will love. This beef is really special. I first saw it over on The Pioneer Woman’s website and have made it multiple times for game-days, get-togethers, and as a base for multiple meals throughout the week. The idea is so simple  - slow cooker beef with pepperoncinis , onions, and a touch of Italian seasoning and the outcome is better than anything you could imagine.  It’s terrific on sandwiches, over rice, turned into a quick beef stew, stuffed in peppers. You get the idea. I think it would taste good in just about anything. But if I am sharing this, I have share my all time favorite way to serve it. Start with a whole grain rolls and add the shredded beef and some sliced or ...

Slow Cooker Chickpea Tikka Masala with Cauliflower

Crockpot Chickpea Tikka Masala takes just like your favorite Indian takeout but is made at home in the slow cooker for a healthy, satisfying meal. After sharing this Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala last week, there were lots of requests for a vegetarian option, and this one will hit the spot. Tikka Masala is probably one of the most well-known Indian dishes out there and for good reason: It is seriously delicious. The only problem is that usually it is made with heavy cream and therefore packed with loads of calories and unhealthy fat. Luckily it's easy to lighten up this dish by making one simple switch and using coconut milk instead of the heavy cream. Not only does this make the dish healthier since the fats in the coconut milk are much better for you, it also lowers the calorie count. And, most importantly, I think it makes the dish even better. The subtle flavor of the coconut is delicious and a great addition to this classic dish. What are chickpeas made of? Chickpeas...
