Recipes
Taking ingredients from our Grocery List, along with other healthy choices, we can start to create our own recipes. The goal is to find foods that suit our specific tastes and temptations. We should enjoy these dishes; it shouldn’t feel forced, like when our mom made us eat our vegetables as a kid!
Every recipe here has been curated by our professional coaches. Then, ingredients have been swapped, and the recipes have been adjusted to make them as supportive as possible for someone who is trying to control their weight. Do not feel that these recipes are written in stone, however. If there’s an ingredient you can’t find, or the recipe doesn’t look immediately appealing, swap something out, or make an improvement. Sometimes, we only have to change one ingredient to completely change the feel of a recipe!
“In The Box”
“In the box” is a term we use with our clients. It means that the recipe is maximized for weight loss, and there is very little room for error. The portion sizes are controlled and the cooking is kept to a minimum. These recipes ONLY use fruits, vegetables, and meal replacements to give us the best chance of guaranteeing a weight loss each week. Even if we don’t spend the whole day “In the box”, everyone can benefit from having some snacks or meals made easy. We’ll place these recipes here.

Main Course
We like to recommend that fruits and vegetables be the focal point of a meal, or at least that they provide a lot of the volume, but know that, for a lot of folks, the meal starts with a protein or a grain. Often, once we pick a protein, like chicken, the vegetables and side dishes can be pretty flexible. We’ll place our main course recipes here.

Snacks/Sides/Desserts
If a recipe is not a “Main Course”, then it is usually pretty flexible. It could be a snack that we eat in between meals, it could be a side dish that we add to a main course to make the meal feel more substantial, or it could be a little something extra at the end of a meal to act as dessert. We’ll place all of these recipes here.

Condiments and Beverages
Sauces, spices and salad dressings seem like smaller choices but often make the biggest impact on the scale. On “Our Grocery List” page, we list condiments and beverages that anyone can purchase outright. Here we’ll place recipes that are a bit more customized.
