Im 17 and have been following this perfect plate idea for 3 weeks while working out and went down from 235 to 223, gonna keep going to like 190, thanks for the help!
family mean planning is quite a challenge and that's without adding the the term "busy" , a comprehensive meal prep that cuts preparation time without sacrificing nutrition would be so liberating.
Recovering from an ED this is so helpful to ease back into eating real food in a healthy way. Not looking to lose weight, just understand nutrition and have reassurance with eating whole food groups
OMG you must have read our minds! Just this morning me and the wife were talking about how we needed to work out a good meal plan schedule because we never have a lot of time and all too often are making quick meals for the family that aren't very healthy. What you've recommended is great! Simple, not time consuming, and most importantly healthy. We're definitely gonna give this a try, thanks!

Awesome! Now if only I could stick to it lol I enjoyed watching & doing your exercises for women over 50. Time to keep up with this as I've just put 30lbs back on in last 4mths?! I can totally blame snacking (emotional eating) in the evening & no exercising!
I really like the "perfect plate" concept as I've never paid too much attention to the proportions of protein/carbs/veg in the meals I prepare. This is very helpful when planning healthy meals for the whole family. Thanks for all the great tips!
This is the best video I have ever seen on meal prepping and just nutrition itself. Makes it so very simple. I’m going for it!!!!!Thank you Dr. So very much!!!! Blessings, Val
That makes me very happy to hear Brin! We are very happy to have you with us. And always let us know if you have questions. Good luck with your training 🙌
I needed this motivation to cook ahead because if I wait to cook fresh, I end up being too hungry and eat a bunch of snacks like bananas chocolate coffee beans etc- oh boy!
Your video has given me much more confidence to produce some 'perfect plates' to replace some of my existing meal choices. Can you give me a little more information about the best and worst non-organic vegetables to buy? And where do you stand in the debate over tinned fish like the salmon and fresh fish?
Thank you doctor, I am struggling with my weight loss, I am insulin resistant and I am finding it so hard to lose weight, I have been stuck in the 240's for a yr now.
Hi my friend, please check out our program. It may be the solution you’re looking for: fitmotherproject.com/fm30x-letter-video My team and I can help you start seeing results!
Hey Sarah, thanks for writing in and great question! If you have the time and willing to put in the prep work, this is where making multiple meals in bulk can come in handy. You can freeze the other portions and cycle them throughout the week. It takes a little more time up front but with a good labeling system, you can save yourself A LOT of time throughout the week! -The FMP Team
Ok i understand the perfect plate, i understand meal prep, love doing a week worth at a time, help with the water,when to eat what. I wake about 1-2 pm, drink 2 soy latte, home made, no sweetener, some cinnamon, make some lunch to take , leave for work at about 4 pm, eat at abou t4:20 ish on the clock, first break at 8 pm, just enough time to potty and get water, next potty break at 11 pm, lunch break at 1 am i usually, go potty, get water, grab my food and take it to my work station, next potty break at 3:30am clock out at 5 am , to bed at about 5:45, can't drink much or i would need a diaper. Any ideas i would apreciate
Hey Tina, thanks for writing in and great question! We actually have a handy support guide that might help bring about some ideas that you can find here==>fit-mother-project.helpscoutdocs.com/article/36-whats-the-ideal-meal-plan-for-3rd-shift-night-shift-work -The FMP Team
Thank you today is my 3 day and not normal routine, no exercise , i ate a ruben sandwich, home made but not right, got up in middle of night and made vegetables and chicken breast, today i did exercise, making cauliflower rice to take to work, smoothie already made, i already feel better3 days? Wow! Put jelly belly in my mouth, started to chew and said to myself wow these are good! I immediately spit them out! Habit! Habit! Habit!
Wow! This video had a lot of helpful information in it. I love how you describe the perfect plate. I'm getting a list together right now of my favorites proteins, veggies, and carbs. Thank you so much for another very helpful video.
Hey Elle, thanks for writing in and great question! I would recommend classifying them as more of your carb as they are a little more sugary than your typical "veggie" (as a fruit). Reserving your veggies for leafy/cruciferous ones would be our recommendation as they provide the most in terms of nutrition/value. -The FMP Team
It's a bit more of a struggle to make a perfect plate when you want to make a casserole or one-pot meal. One workaround is to cook the carb(s) separately and add a lot of vegetables.
Can you help me out I was eating and exercising right then I discovered you felt good I knew I was on the right track, so I started working out with weighs with you and enjoyed, however I broke my ankle skating and can’t do swats or lower body workouts can you offer some suggestions
Do you just heat the food that you’ve prepped in the fridge, doesn’t this loose it’s nutritional value? And realistically how long will things like veg stay fresh? Is there anyway to make them last longer?
Hey Rakhee, thanks for writing in and great question! The extent of how much nutrition is lost depends on the heating process, the temperature, and duration. The same goes for stored veggies and the duration in the fridge. But the bottom line is that if this method helps you live a healthier lifestyle, the amount lost pales in comparison to what you gain over time. Thank you for watching! -The FMP Team
The meal plan times are great for my schedule except for the morning. I start work at 6AM and get up at 4AM four days a week. I get a break at 9:15AM and lunch at noon and another break at 3. Should I skip breakfast or just eat breakfast on my first break?
Hey Jane, thanks for writing in and great question! The types of food found from the video are fantastic for those with PCOS. The goal is to consume foods that don't contribute to higher blood glucose levels. These are usually proteins, healthy fats, and fibrous or complex carbohydrates that provide a slower blood sugar spike. For more ideas, check out these videos: ruclips.net/user/FitMotherProjectsearch?query=healthy%20food -The FMP Team
I like crunchy romaine lettuce or green leafy lettuce. How do I know I have a quaslity sauerkraut? I also can't do meal preps. I have tried it and I waste food.
Hey Tami, you know you have a quality sauerkraut if you can find an organic one as it will have gone through a cleaner production process. However, cabbage is a produce found on the "Clean 15" list and you don't necessarily have to go organic! It is simply fermented cabbage so you'll most likely be in good shape, no matter what you choose...especially if the ingredients are simply cabbage, water, and/or salt. -The FMP Team
How big of a plate (6”?)and what should the measurement be? Like 1/4 cup of carbs, 1/4 cup protein and 1 cup of mixed veggies? Someone let me know, greatly appreciated!
Hi Mari, thanks for writing in and great question! The Perfect Plate was intended to be a little more "no-think" where you don't have to calculate your serving sizes. However, if you are more of a numbers person, for the average woman we recommend 1/4 to 1/2 cup of carbs, 4-6oz of protein, and as many veggies as you can get on your plate! -The FMP Team
Hi Reena, thanks for writing in and great question! While Millet does contain protein, it is much heavier in the carb department so we would recommend using it as your main carb source. For a list of other healthy carb sources, check out the following video==> pulse.ly/qlunozntcp Thanks for watching! -The FMP Team

Thank you 😊💝💝😊😊

This look like it would save me a fortune and is much healthier than the boxed frozen "healthy" microwave dinners!

Gaining weight for me is never an option. although i don't have my how family yet, even when i do, gaining weight will never been an option.
hello doc! why coconut oil?why not vegetable oil?
