Why be creative with your food? I have found over the years that 80% of clients do not like to eat the same thing. They like variety and different tastes and textures. So, recipes assist you with getting out of that feeling. Recipes are also easy for families. If there is only time to cook one meal, this is a great way to feed the family and stay losing weight. For some of our clients, they prepare a weeks’ worth of dinners and freeze for the week.

Meal planning is essential for success.  Why? Because if you do not know where you are going, you will never arrive.  Meal planning is your road map to success.  You must understand how you are eating for the day or the week you are in.  I have found that a sense of peace washes over the clients who plan their meals. Before long, this becomes a habit.  Meal planning also sets parameters.  It gives you clear expectations and it provides you routine. Routine is something most people need.

Meal Planning success

Meal planning also saves you time and money.  It is also less stressful.  Planning will keep you calm and avoid feeling out of control.  Most clients do not do well with unknow or last-minute decisions.  It raises their stress levels and they feel out of control, so that leads to eating off-plan, the standard response to handling stress.  That is why you are here!  To deal with this take time! Plan your eating day and week! You can do it!!

The benefits of spending 15 minutes planning your week are: feeling acommplished, feeling fantastic, feeling in control and loving weight loss !

German Style Potato SaladBy Kevin PetrizioThis request really surprised me. I thought potato salad would never work on the program. And not being a big fan of it, I never gave it much thought. So when I started to research recipes, I noticed that German potato salad could work without too many changes. I put together this recipe and found that it is easy to make, and delicious. Bring this recipe to your next cookout and watch it go! You don't even have to tell them it's on the program! When I first made this recipe, I used white onion instead of scallions. I found that the raw white onions were just a bit too much for most people. Personally, I loved it. Also, I did not use mustard. I'm just not a fan. But feel free to play around with this recipe and make it fit your tastes
Sesame Chicken Salad with CroutonsBy Kevin PetrizioI thought I would use one of the dressings in a meal. With spring here and summer right around the corner, why not make a delicious salad. Use the search feature to get the Sesame Ginger Dressing and Croutons to add to this tasty grilled chicken meal.
DressingsBy Kevin PetrizioI was asked to make some dressings to liven up salads. I came up with three that I think are interesting and very flavorful. These can be used not only as dressings, but as dips and marinades as well. The possibilities are almost endless! Search for Italian or Honey Mustard for two other dressings that I made previously.
Chickpeas and CauliflowerBy Kevin PetrizioThis recipe was recommended by Patty, one of our clients. It's a meatless meal that can be enjoyed hot or cold depending on your taste. The key to making this meal quickly is to have the chickpeas already prepared. Thanks Patty!
Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard and Buffalo style SauceBy Kevin PetrizioThe most requested meal that I get is for Buffalo Chicken. So lets break out the air fryer and make chicken fingers on Plan and tasty. I'm going to make simple honey mustard and hot wing style sauces that can be used with many other meals. These dipping sauces are the gems of this recipe. They have so much flavor and can be used on so many other foods. The honey mustard makes a great salad dressing as well. Experiment and let us know how you use them!
