If you want to lose weight, lower your cholesterol or just learn how to eat healthy, you've found the right place. My free, interactive diet planner, My eatTHISdiet, will help you create weekly meal plans - complete with recipes and shopping lists - to make eating better and eating healthier easy for you and your entire family. My eatTHISdiet is also perfect for those with food allergies or health issues like GERD / acid reflux, lactose intolerance, low sodium diets and those who use Coumadin® (warfarin). |
Rather eat familiar foods, like Meatloaf or Macaroni and Cheese? You might think that those comfort foods you grew up with are bound to be full of fat and calories and unhealthy ingredients, but they don't have to be. With my recipes, you can eat those familiar, comforting foods - and still eat healthy. The Comfort Food Diet is not designed for those with food allergies or special dietary needs. If you have one of those special needs, you'll want to use the original My eatTHISdiet (at left). |
