Part II - Healthiest Way of Eating Plan
If you've been wondering what foods you should eat to stay healthy, you need not wonder any longer. I have worked for years on developing a great Plan that covers how the nutrient-rich World's Healthiest Foods can help you eat healthier each and every day.
It is created to meet many of the nutritional requirements (the Daily Values set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Plan is the gateway to more energy and better health through the Healthiest Way of Eating. And you may even lose a few of those extra pounds in the process!
The Plan can help protect you from the many health problems associated with nutrient deficiency because each day the Plan fulfills 100% of your Daily Value (DV) for 18 or more nutrients from foods you enjoy. The Plan is powerful because these nutrients work at a cellular level to promote optimal health. And all of this for the least number of calories without the use of multivitamins.
The Plan is not a diet nor an expensive, time-consuming program. It is a way to begin a lifestyle change to the Healthiest Way of Eating. And we've done all the work for you so it's easy! I provide you with recipes that not only taste great but take only minutes to prepare-most take 7 minutes or less and you can make an entire meal in just 15 minutes! You just have to do the shopping and you don't have to break the bank to buy the foods called for in these recipes.
My Healthiest Way of Cooking methods reflect a new wave of cooking for the 21st century! They ensure the recipes used in the Plan not only deliver you great flavor but also retain the maximum number of nutrients. This is compared to traditional cooking methods, which have been found to lose from 50-80% of the nutrients when preparing vegetables. My al dente method of cooking vegetables results in vegetables that are tender on the outside and slightly crisp on the inside ensuring you the maximum number of nutrients and flavor while softening their fibers for easier digestion.
You also don't have to give up your favorite foods with the Healthiest Way of Eating Plan. There are outstanding fish, chicken, lean meat, vegetarian, and crisp salad recipes as well as recipes for healthy breakfasts and even healthy dessert recipes! Most of these delicious recipes can be prepared in 7 minutes or less, while the snacks rarely require any preparation at all.
This is a complete Plan that fulfills many of the Daily Values for nutrients. In this Plan you can swap any breakfast, lunch, or dinner from any of the 7 days and still enjoy the health benefits provided by following the Plan as posted.
The most amazing health book I've ever read!! This not only teaches you about what your body needs to perform at its best, but it also helps you to make a transition into a healthier lifestyle VERY EASILY! There are menus you can follow and there are enough for about a month. I've been following the menu for 4 days now and these are my results so far:
I've lost over 60 pounds. I have more energy than I can use and better skin than I ever would have thought possible. Thanks for your years of dedication to create this book and for taking me to the highest level of eating! - Rosemary
For 4 weeks straight I ate nothing but food from your book and I suddenly felt amazing. I can gladly say that now, with the help of your recipes plus yoga and Pilates that I weigh 145 lbs! Not only did I lose weight but my entire metabolism changed. I no longer had any desire for sweets or high-fat food and the occasional time I do I find that I don't gain weight as quickly. I have lost weight in the past from other diets but always gain it back once I go back to eating badly but this is not a diet, it's a way of life. I swear by your book and make recipes for all my friends. They are picky eaters and they love your recipes! - Amy
I would love to hear your success stories as well. Email Us
The Plan consists of 7 days of the Healthiest Way of Eating. Everyday contains a menu for that day and the benefits gained from that day's menu.
In this Plan you will learn about all the foods to nourish yourself. And the Plan does all of this for you! Start with day 1 and after 7 days you will have a complete week's worth of menus, with meals that you can mix and match as you so desire. Fresh ingredients can be substituted for other fresh ingredients, and dairy products can be substituted with soy or rice milks (or other dairy-free beverages).
You can adopt the Plan at the pace that feels most comfortable to you. If you don't have time to follow the Plan for an entire week, try following it for one day. If you don't have time for an entire day, try one meal. Another way to approach the Plan that I believe works well is to practice changing just one meal of the day for an entire week. For example, for the first week focus on following the breakfast menus, on the second week focus on following the lunch menus, and on the third week focus on following the dinner menus. However you choose to follow the Plan, you won't have anything to lose, just everything to gain.
The Healthiest Way of Eating Plan is also designed to easily adjust to fit your personal tastes and lifestyle. Enjoy the first day's breakfast on the fifth day and you will still receive most of the nutrients you need for the week. Or if you are having an exceptionally busy schedule, substitute a very quick recipe for one that may take a little longer to prepare. Even when you swap meals or snacks between the different days in the menu you can be assured that you will be receiving most all of the nutrients you need to feel great.
For the first day of the Healthiest Way of Eating Plan I created an easy-to-prepare menu for you, which offers exciting flavors and good nutrition. For breakfast you'll enjoy Energizing Oatmeal with cinnamon, for lunch a Caesar salad topped with turkey, and for dinner tasty Salmon with Dill Sauce. These meals are composed of nutrient-rich foods that give you many of the health-promoting nutrients you need every day.

Analysis for the following nutrients are not readily available: biotin, chromium, and iodine (found in sea vegetables).
You can get vitamin D from the sun; 15 minutes in the middle of the day will provide you your DV for vitamin D. Or, you can add 3.5 oz of sockeye salmon, which provides 247% DV for vitamin D or 3.5 oz of ahi tuna, which provides 101% DV to your menu for the day.
Since there are no Daily Values for tryptophan, omega-3 fatty acids, beta-carotene, lutein/zeaxanthin, lycopene, and anthocyanins (the Plan is an great source of all phytonutrients) the absolute amounts of these nutrients found in the Day 2's menu are indicated in the chart above.
To increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids include more salmon, sardines, flaxseeds, and walnuts into your daily menu.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "A Food Labeling Guide" (US FDA, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition/Office of Nutrition, Labeling, and Dietary Supplements, April 2008) was used as a foundation for the Daily Values we use to evaluate the Healthiest Way of Eating Plan. When you see the phrase "100% DV," it means that you are getting 100% or more of the Daily Value (DV).
The gift of good health is what I want to share with you in this Plan. The information I share with has only one purpose—to help you eat healthier. I have devoted my life to helping others. I never compromise. I want the very best for you, and I won't settle for anything less. The World's Healthiest Foods are health-promoting foods that I feel can benefit nearly everyone. I tested the Plan on myself with great results. Today these are the foods that comprise my personal way of eating because they give me all the benefits of health without increasing caloric intake.
The World's Healthiest Foods website (whfoods.org) currently has over a million visitors per month. Many of these Readers have written to tell me how much adopting the Healthiest Way of Eating has benefited them. They have reported on restored health, weight loss, and much more. Over the last 10 years I have helped thousands of people to eat healthier and have been told that I have helped improve (and even save) many lives. I want to help do the same for you.
