Diet Designs

The greatest truths can be elegantly simple. Three basic principles can empower your eating enlightenment.

The Diet Designs process begins with The Energy Equation that fuels your body and brain each day.

From the results of the Energy Equation flows a personalized framework for Enlightened Eating.

The final transformative step is Evolving Your Healthy Self to a positive and pleasurable relationship with food.

Food supplies energy to the body, and managing your energy supply is the key to weight control and health. Balancing your energy equation is easy once you know the variables.

Every move you make is fueled by the chemical bonds of the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the food you eat. Chemical reactions in the energy centers of cells break these bonds and set energy free in the form of heat to keep you warm and a compound called adenosine triphosphate – the fuel for functions from blinking and breathing to running a marathon.

Energy is a molecular miracle created by breaking chemical bonds. The food you eat determines the quantity and quality of energy available to your body and brain each day.

Each unit of energy is called a calorie, and the amount and type of food you eat determines how many units you have available to spend. Any calorie you don't spend on movement or basic metabolism is stored as fat (adipose tissue to the scientists). The math makes clear that the amount of fat on any body is a function of the balance between energy in and energy out:

The Diet Designs programs do the math for you, crunching the numbers of the energy equation to determine your calorie level for optimal weight loss.

Once you know exactly how much energy you need to achieve your weight loss or management goals, you can relax and enjoy eating again. Enlightened eating is the state of daily pleasure and optimum health you achieve when you align your diet with energy equation. The elements of enlightened eating include:

Balancing your energy equation with portion control. Diet Designs portions your servings according to your personal energy needs. You can participate in the learning process by "clicking in" to what your right-size portions look like on the plate and feel like in your body.
Choosing nutrient-dense foods. Eating is like investing: You want the maximum return on every cent spent. Diet Designs menus spotlight nature's nutritional stars to feed the intricate biochemical processes that fuel your inner energy and outer glow.
Maximizing flavor, minimizing fat. The delicious dishes of Diet Designs are clear evidence that food that feeds a fit body can taste fantastic. Lighter preparations unmask natural flavors and excite the palate. Prepare for a revelation.
Enjoying yourself. Happiness is your birthright, and enlightened eating focuses on the positive. Every meal is an opportunity to enjoy the moment, improve your future – and have fun.

The Diet Designs programs are carefully calibrated to bring enlightened eating to your diet. The meals don't just feed you; they inform you. The daily act of dining can change your paradigm. Try it and find out how.

The result of enlightened eating is a personal evolution. A process of seeing your potential and taking it one step at a time. Evolving your healthy self is natural and effortless when you embrace each day as an opportunity to experience the benefits of a balanced energy equation.

You may have heard of the concept of "flow," in which you have all the skills you need for a task, your mind is clear, and you go with the flow straight toward your goal. A well-designed diet brings flow to your relationship with food. You'll know you've found flow when every meal is satisfying and renewing, without worries or regrets.
