Healthy Meal Planning 101
Healthy Meal Planning and Preparation 101
We know more than ever about good nutrition, and healthy weight loss. So why are there so many obese people in the U.S. and in many industrialized countries?
Part of it is confusing information about what is healthy ad what isn’t. It’s also about eating on the run. Many people think healthy cooking and eating takes hours of preparation and cooking. Nothing could be further from the truth. But it DOES require some planning if you are going to make the shift from junk foods and convenience foods from the supermarket shelf or freezer to natural, unprocessed foods you and your family can make in minutes, and will love.
In this beginner’s course, learn the essentials of healthy meal planning and preparation, and see what a difference it can make to your health and even your grocery bill, as you save money and eat better than ever before.

Introduction: Why Meal Planning?
In a world populated by fast food chains and eating out, processed food-like items full of toxins, additives and addictive chemicals are the norm. At the same time, the typical 21st century adult is busier than ever before. While automation and technology are meant to free mankind from toil and stress, they have done the opposite… we have less free time than people in the past.
Much of our day is dominated by staring into electronic monitors and screens. We sit more than stand, we are sedentary and inactive, and children now develop “adult” diseases. The increasing risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and mental health issues have created what the World Health Organization calls an epidemic of health problems we have never seen before.
In 2008, obesity in the US caused a recorded $147 billion in medical costs. Just 4 years later diabetes medical costs had bloomed to $245 billion. This condition, and others, is directly linked to overweight and obesity, physical symptoms linked with a long list of chronic diseases and illness. And while we used to believe that exercise could “offset” poor nutrition to a great extent, we now know that bad eating habits can’t be overcome with all of the jogging and weightlifting in the world.
If that sounds pretty grim, and it should, there is a simple answer… healthy meal prepping.
This healthy eating guide makes a simple proposition – to save you time and money while replacing poor health risks and realities with overall health and wellness. That begins with education, understanding what and how to eat for physical, emotional and mental health. You will discover a myriad of tips and best practices that make planning and preparing healthy meals simple.
There are apps and websites that can help you along the way, and you will receive a few simple recipes that promote good health. Coincidentally, you will discover exactly why you should prep days of nutritious meals in advance, if the scary health facts and figures from earlier are not enough motivation. Finally, you will formulate a shopping list, and uncover the frugal beauty of bulk buys.
If you are ready to avoid the 21st century curse of poor health so many profit-seeking food manufacturers have put on you and your family, let’s get started by going back to school.
