A reader of Cooking with a Cat, Maria, wrote to me several weeks ago:
"I just read the book and your definitive guide, but I'm very confused about phases and servings. I see foods I'm not familiar with and don't know how to vary my meals. Do you have any ready-made plans I can follow?"
This is one of many similar emails I have received over the months.
Maria wrote to me several weeks ago: she told me that she had followed all the steps to create her own plan but was still not clear on how to do it on her own.
Maria has read the book The Fast Metabolism Diet by Haylie Pomroy, she has read my FMD guide and uses the meal map in chapter 1, she checks the Masterfood to see what foods are allowed and their serving sizes.
But still, she struggles to create his own menu. She struggles to find a variety of meals for each phase, she doesn't know what to eat for Phase 2 snacks, when it comes to cooking for more days she gets confused about serving sizes. In addition, not being able to make a well-structured plan, she improvises on the fly, and most of the time she ends up making all kinds of mistakes. For example, using foods in the wrong phase, forgetting a snack, eating fruits at night or grains at noon in Phase 3, etc.
When I decided to start the Fast Metabolism diet years ago, I remember it was a failure.
Between reading the book and actually starting the diet, months went by, and when I finally made up my mind I couldn't even lose a pound.
In my first attempt I made a lot of mistakes: I always made mistakes when measuring portions, I used foods in the wrong phase, I got mixed up with physical activity, I did everything wrong.
I wanted to try to follow the sample menus Haylie proposes in the book, and although the recipes are very good, I saw them for an American audience, they were not so close to my tastes and I didn't know where to find some of the ingredients.
So I tried to create my first plan. But I only managed to make 1 single daily menu for each phase, and all three had the same basic foods. I quickly got bored of always eating the same thing and it was a real disaster.
In the last six months alone, almost 2/3 of the emails I have received are from people who don't know how to create their own menu or who can't get organized to be able to do the WFD correctly, either because they find it difficult to assimilate all the information or because they don't have enough time.
These are some of the most frequent problems of the people who write to me:
“I've read the book, but I don't understand how to create my menus, it's very complicated.”
“I mess up a lot with the serving sizes, sometimes I eat too much and sometimes too little. I don't know how to do it.”
“I want to prepare the recipes in the book, but there are a lot of foods I can't find.”
“I work a lot and I can't cook that much, I need an easy menu.”
“I don't have much time and I can't go to the gym, how do I do sports?”
Definitely not.
I always say it: doing the FMD is as easy or difficult as you want it to be, but it is true that it is a diet that requires organization. Also, there is a lot of information out there and, especially in the beginning, it can be overwhelming. But once you have a plan everything is easier.
I had a hard time. It took me weeks to get clear, but in the end I managed to see the FMD as a healthy eating style, a real change of habits. It made me forget about those sad "diet menus" I had created and I was finally able to structure something more like a plan.
At the end of that first real cycle, I lost 10 pounds and was thrilled with the FMD and the results.
Now let's imagine, for a second, that we started the FMD today and had this all worked out.
Imagine having a ready-made plan, with simple, tasty recipes and foods that are easy to find; a plan that says what to buy each week and recommends what exercises to do in each phase; that reminds us to drink water every day and even offers some extra recipes to fight anxiety.
A plan that is not just a set of weekly menus, but is a real guide to doing the FMD without worries.
A plan that you just have to follow and that's it.
Well, that's exactly what I'm offering.
Love every meal is the web application that I have created to help all the people who keep having problems with creating a plan and want to do the FMD without worries.
In this app there are several different plans, not just single recipes or weekly menus, but really complete plans that include everything you will need in your next FMD cycle: menus with easy recipes and common ingredients, weekly shopping lists, exercise suggestions for each phase, food substitution guide in case you don't like or can't find something, daily organization tips and much more.
Each Love every meal plan is designed to make FMD as easy and stress-free as possible.
Because we already know that stress does not help dieting.
After two years studying and creating recipes for FMD on my blog and having written a super complete guide about this way of eating, I wanted to go a step further so that no one has to stress or get frustrated as it happened to me.
The basic idea behind Love every meal is to be able to comfortably solve the concerns and difficulties we face in the FMD:
“I've read the book, but I don't understand how to create my menus, it's very complicated.”
All Love every meal plans include 4 weekly menus that clearly specify what foods to eat in each of the 140 meals that make up 1 cycle.
“I get so messed up with serving sizes, sometimes I overeat and sometimes I undereat. I don't know how to do it.”
All the recipes in the plans clearly specify the exact amount of each food to use and all the serving sizes.
“I want to prepare the recipes in the book, but there are many foods I can't find.”
All of the recipes in the plans need foods that are commonly found in most countries. Each of the plans includes a brief guide to food substitution, in case you can't find a particular food or something you don't like. In addition, the app incorporates a list of stores by country where you can find less common products.
“I work a lot and I can't cook that much, I need an easy menu.”
All plans are designed so that we don't have to spend the day in the kitchen. While cooking is necessary in all the plans, these are simple recipes, which do not require too much time, attention, or any special skills. They are day-to-day recipes, similar to what you would make if you didn't do the FMD, but healthier.
“I don't have much time and I can't go to the gym, how do I workout?”
All plans include an exercise guide. This is a series of tips for doing sport and a worksheet for each phase with exercise ideas to do at home or in a park.
Love every meal is a web application that allows you to download complete plans for the FMD.
It is simple and easy to use: just sign up, fill in your basic data and you will be able to access the application itself, where you will find different FMD plans and you will be able to download them comfortably in PDF.
You will also find utilities to follow the FMD and a directory of stores where you can find less common products.
All Love every meal plans are essentially divided into 3 parts:
In the first part of each plan you’ll find the list of foods used and how to substitute them.
After the introduction, there is the meal plan itself. It consists of 4 weekly menus, each with its own shopping list for that week. In addition, each of the 28 days is preceded by a series of tips and reminders for that day.
The last part of the plans is where you find all the recipes you will need in those 28 days. Each recipe has phase and serving specifications, and notes if necessary. Each of the recipe books in the plans has over 80 recipes, the vast majority of which are not on the blog.
Besides the plans, you’ll find some extra guides to help you in everything you’ll need: one about sports and exercises, one about how much water you should drink, and one about drinks and beverages.
There are currently 2 plans in the app and I am preparing some more:
Coming soon:
Love every meal is an application used by many people from different countries.
Here are some testimonials from people who use it:
“Love Every Meal is one of the best ways to start the FMD, especially for those of us who believe that cooking and not getting fat is impossible, or that it is also not possible to eat rich and healthy while dieting.
It is extremely useful, because Eloisa's plans not only help you with easy recipes by phases, but you can also choose them according to the season of the year. Love Every Meal, accompanied with the Masterfood (Super useful! Each food with its different names according to the countries), will help you change the way you see and live food.“
“Thank you Love Every Meal for helping me to get my life back on track, just as it sounds; I say get my life back on track because I was a mess in everything, and I don't know why, but by organizing my food and eating this way, I have taken the helm again.
Thanks to the plans so well explained and to Eloisa's patience with my thousand questions, I have managed to do the 28 days. It is complicated at first, but thanks to Love Every Meal I have been able to understand everything and finish my first cycle.
And the most important thing: my family is delighted, even my little one has loved many dishes. Many recipes are already staying with me, especially those heart-stopping breakfasts and many tasty dishes that I'm going to make for friends soon.
Thanks for everything.“
