Driven by my own fear of a heart attack, I created this Mindful Eating Program to help you create balanced meals that are both satisfying and heart-healthy. Just over a year ago, I learned my cholesterol was dangerously high at 252. The prescribed statin caused severe side effects, and I knew I needed a different approach. I designed this program to prioritize your likes, dislikes, and nutritional needs, making meal planning both simple and effective.

The Whole Plate is a 30-day program is how mindful eating eases us into a healthier lifestyle week by week. Here's how it'll go:
Week 1: Orientation and the Basics of Balanced Meals!
In the first week, we set the stage for your journey towards better health. This week is all about orientation and getting comfortable with the basics of creating balanced meals. I introduce you to the foundational principles of nutrition, focusing on how to build a well-rounded meal without feeling overwhelmed.
Week 2: Focus on a Balanced Breakfast!
Week 2 focuses on starting your day right with a balanced breakfast. This week, we emphasize the importance of the day's first meal and how it sets the tone for your nutritional choices. By the end of this week, the goal is to establish a habit of eating a balanced breakfast daily.
Week 3: Adding a Balanced Lunch!
Building on the previous week's focus on breakfast, Week 3 introduces the concept of a balanced lunch. We'll guide you on incorporating the principles learned in Week 1 into your midday meal. The idea is to create a seamless transition from a balanced breakfast to a nutritious lunch, compounding the benefits of your efforts.
Week 4: Focus on a Balanced Dinner!
In Week 4, we complete the picture by focusing on a balanced dinner. This week is all about understanding how to end your day with a meal that is as nutritious as enjoyable. We'll discuss how to create satisfying dinners without being overly heavy, helping to promote better sleep and digestion.
By the end of the month, you will have gradually built up to eating three well-balanced, healthy meals each day. The step-by-step approach of The Whole Plate Program ensures that these changes are manageable and sustainable.
You won't just have a collection of meals; you'll have developed lasting habits that make healthy eating a natural and enjoyable part of your daily life. This approach ensures that the transition to a healthier lifestyle is gradual yet impactful, leading to lasting changes without feeling overwhelmed.
The Whole Plate Program is thoughtfully crafted for anyone who:
Six months after my first blood test and being on this whole plate eating plan, my cholesterol reading dropped to 238 from 252, then another six months later it is at 232, and that is without taking any medication. I'm aiming for my total reading to be in the 180s with my HDL cholesterol - this is the good one, being much greater than the LDL - the bad cholesterol in another six months.
Mindful attention can reveal unsuspected richness and evoke deep appreciation for things you were previously unaware of or for almost any experience. This will be your own very personal journey.

Shelly and Mike say they both love to eat and said:’ We both were overweight before starting the program and living with high blood pressure for over 15 years. Now we’re healthier and enjoy food even more because we are eating mindfully. Somehow with mindfully eating we recognize earlier when we are full and are eating more wisely and moderately. Losing weight, haven’t reached our goal as yet, but breathing and moving more easily.’
Patricia said she always ate on a schedule, never allowing herself to get hungry. She said ‘one day I found myself looking into the refrigerator trying to decide what to eat. When I realized what I was doing, I paused and asked myself…am I hungry? I wasn’t, so I knew I needed something else to do beside eating. I remembered my upcoming book meeting club get-together and realized I hadn’t finishing reading my book. I got to reading and the time flew by….I didn’t need to eat. I truly felt full.’
‘When I was counting and measuring my food, I made sure to eat all of it, but even then, I never felt satisfied. I worried about my weight, health, and what I would be allowed to eat next. This preoccupation only made things worse. When I learned to eat mindfully, I stopped worrying and could focus on eating what I needed.’ – Wendy, New York.
