    The meal plans are seven days in length and have no repeat meals. Each meal plan includes guidelines that allow you to adjust it to fit your specific needs. This puts you in charge of your health. If you need more help you may contact the author of the meal plan. The authors are all practicing nutritionists. All our meal plans eliminate various problematic foods. These eliminations will be noted for each meal plan. In addition to guidelines, each meal plan contains a section on how to implement the plan, a 10 point worksheet, and a complete set of detailed recipes. Since certain food preparation techniques can diminish and even damage certain macronutrients 3 4 and vitamins 5 6 7 , these recipes emphasize food preparation techniques that aim to preserve the original vitamin and nutrient content of the food. The meal plans are categorized by health issue so that you can select the meal plan best suited to you.
