Attention Women, moms, family meal planners, and busy individuals everywhere:
Are you sick of throwing money away every month on food that goes bad?
- Do you regularly waste money on food that you never end up cooking or eating even though you have the best of intentions?
- Do you struggle with what to make for dinner because you don’t have a plan?
- Do you resort to eating high calorie takeout due to lack of planning?
- Are you ready to learn a simple, sustainable system to easily plan and prepare healthy meals while saving money too?
| It’s a fact: The average American family throws out almost $600 worth of meat, produce and grains that have gone bad each year! Now that’s a sure way to jeopardize both you health and pocketbook every month due to lack of proper meal planning. |
From the Desk of Wendy Battles, Optimal Health Coach and Meal Planning Afficionado:
How lack of planning comprised my own health and well being
I have to admit, I used to be one of those meal planning statistics.
It used to be that I wasted time and money every week because I didn’t have a plan for what I was going to eat, how I was going to prepare it and how much I even needed. I would go to the store and randomly walk the aisles, buying things that looked good but without regard to health benefits, preparation time and amount.
I would end up eating poorly balanced meals that were often full of too much fat and calories and not enough fruits and vegetables. Sometimes the meals I made were too elaborate and I’d end up spending the entire night in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. And sometimes I never even cooked. That’s right, I’d get so busy that I’d never get around to cooking the food I’d bought.
So when I was short on time, I resorted to eating out which usually meant getting something fast and less than healthy. Or getting takeout packed with empty calories. All the while, I was spending far too much money with little to no health benefits to show for it.
And that’s not even including the money I wasted on food that went bad. Rotting lettuce and other veggies, fruit that was over ripe and the many containers of food growing fuzz in the back of the refrigerator — it was all money down the drain.
Week after week, and month after month, my lack of planning compromised my health and my pocketbook. And it was reflected in some chronic health problems that I developed. I felt frustrated, overwhelmed and daunted by the task of meal planning and I was simply fed up with spending so much money.
How I started to turn things around
It wasn’t until I began to get some help for my health problems that I started to improve my diet. And it wasn’t until I improved my diet that I started to get serious about healthy shopping and meal preparation. Out went too much dining out and take out, in came healthy meal prep.
But you know what? I was still wasting plenty of food. Sure, I knew what to buy and even had some inkling of how to prepare it, yet I still had problems estimating what amount to buy. And because I was so busy, I didn’t plan in the context of reality. I planned what I thought I could make but didn’t always consider the time factor. So I still had too much food going bad.
Fast forward several years to my current career as a health coach. Although I had mastered healthy eating I still used to struggle with the planning aspects. That is, until I created a simple, meal planning system that’s transformed how I shop, prep and eat healthy foods. Gone are the days of wasted food, eating out because there’s nothing healthy around, and long hours in the kitchen.
The reality is that it took lots of trial and error and the forming of new habits to make meal planning stick, but it was worth it!
In fact, I’ve discovered a way to create healthy and delicious meals in a short time that’s freed me from long hours in the kitchen so I can do the things I truly enjoy.
And because I have a plan that’s flexible, realistic and easy to follow, I’m no longer wasting food or money. What a concept! Instead, my family and I enjoy healthy and delicious meals that are cost effective, bursting with nutrients and easy to prepare. And we’re doing it for the long haul – a healthy lifestyle choice.

Personal Success Story: Erica “I was fortunate to be part of Wendy’s recent Money Saving Meal Planning class. Prior to taking the class, I wasted a lot of food and I wasn’t doing my body or my family’s body any good by not planning properly. In addition, I often went to the store unprepared without a list or game plan and made poor choices. After taking the meal planning class, I was able to focus in on how much I was spending, and even more importantly, how much food I was wasting. Now I’m able to prepare and plan ahead so I’m not making last minute purchases. And I was able to pay attention to old, outdated items in my cupboard and get rid of them. In essence, I was able to make room for the new by getting rid of the old. I recommend this class highly -- you will notice significant changes in your health and your life, and that of your family!” - Erica, North Haven, CT |

Personal Success Story: Karen Batchelor“Before I took Wendy’s Money Saving Meal Planning course, I thought I had a pretty healthy diet. But what I realized in the very first session is that eating healthy foods here and there just wasn’t a sustainable game plan. And I can’t tell you how much food I wasted because I didn’t get around to cooking it. In these uncertain times, that’s not something I can afford to do anymore. Throughout the course I developed a better understanding of the foods that are best for me, especially at midlife. Then I learned how to plan a week of meals from breakfast to dinner—before I hit the aisles of my favorite grocery store. I went from impulsive to strategic in my shopping which has already saved me money. These days, eating healthy balanced meals on a balanced budget means less stress (and a few less pounds) in my life! Thanks Wendy for all the helpful tips and resources!” - Karen Batchelor, Detroit, MI

Check out the "Money Saving Meal Planning: Quick, Healthy and Delicious Meals on a Budget" Details!The 4-week teleseminar begins on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 at 8 pm EST (5 pm Pacific) and runs once a week for a total of four sessions. Remember, you’ll always get the recording of each session, even if you can’t be there live. Session 1 — Wednesday, October 22, 2008 at 8 pm ESTThe Meal Planning Mindset: Shifting Your Perspective One of the challenges to consistently creating healthy meals is the notion that it has to be hard, cumbersome and/or time consuming. Truth be told, how we feel about the whole process of meal planning can get in the way of us actually doing it — we can get immobilized, make up our mind that it doesn’t work for us, and that we either can’t or don’t want to do it. This session helps you to uncover what gets in the way of consistent meal planning as you try on the notion that meal planning doesn’t have to be that hard. You will learn:
Session 2 — Wednesday, October 29, 2008 at 8 pm ESTClean and Purge: A Kitchen Facelift Part of the journey of effective meal planning is being willing to look at what you’re currently doing in an honest way. What’s really in your refrigerator and pantry? How much of what’s in there has gone bad or is on its way (old grains or flour that has bugs, rotting salad greens, moldy rice, etc.)? And how much has all that food gone bad cost you? Before you can jump into planning, you have to learn to clean and purge to create a clean slate. You will learn:
Session 3 — Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 8 pm ESTGet Ready to Plan: Shopping Lists, Pantry Basics and Foods You Love As we lay the foundation for meal planning success, the key is in the details. It’s hard to prepare simple, inexpensive and delicious meals without having some staples on hand. When you have healthy items on hand, you can pull together a quick meal without being tempted to go out to dinner or order take out. This session focuses on specific tools that will be utilized to prepare you for the planning process in week four when we’ll put all the different pieces together. You will learn:
Session 4 — Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 8 pm ESTCreate Your Weekly Meal Plan You’ve laid the groundwork for planning inexpensive and healthy meals for you and your family the past three weeks by changing your thinking about meal planning, purging the foods that aren’t fresh and don’t serve you, and beginning to stock up on quick, easy and healthy items you can easily integrate into your weekly planning. So now it’s time to put it all together. This session is about the logistics of planning weekly meals and how you’ll establish a regular routine that’s fun, easy and something you’ll do consistently. You will learn:

Personal Success Story: JulianneWhen working with Wendy, I learned about nutrition in a personalized way - one in which I could reflect what foods are most agreeable to my body and temperament. I also learned how to sustain a healthy lifestyle through a series of small behavioral adjustments like a Sunday morning of menu planning, learning to distinguish hunger from thirst, a visit to the greens aisle during my supermarket trip (long live Kale and Swiss Chard!!), or taking a moment to soak some delicious beans before rushing off to work in the morning. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone who wants to make sustainable changes in their lifestyle!” Julianne, Bethlehem, PA |

Personal Success Story: Beth Purcell"Before working with Wendy, I was in a cooking rut, eating the same things, not planning in advance, and not eating as healthy as I should have. I often opted for frozen and/or prepackaged foods for their convenience, however, the nutritional value was low. I didn’t do any exercise. I also didn’t pay attention to the stress in my life and how that was affecting my eating habits and outlook. By working with Wendy, I went from being in an eating and cooking rut, to planning ahead, and eating more leafy, green vegetables and whole grains. I have tried several quick and delicious recipes and find that having the ingredients on hand makes nightly dinner selections much easier and much faster. As I recognize what I’m eating I’m able to control sleepiness, stress, and mood swings. I have also recognized how related my poor eating habits were to my outlook and stress levels. I started exercising in the morning and have increased not only my energy levels, but also have made improvements to my body and increased my strength." - Beth, East Haven, CT |
