Healthy Recipes, Meal Plans and Grocery Lists
Dr. Kaylan Vialpando is the writer the The Sensible Cook. She also writes for several sources on a variety of fitness and weight loss topics. She wrote the cookbook "52 Weeks of Healthy Cooking" and just completed a book about the psychology of weight loss, due to be released in 2012.
The Sensible Cook meal planning service was originally created as part of a weight loss program in 2005. The intent was to teach people how to plan meals and use low fat cooking methods in order to help people gain control of their diets, while losing the typical "diet" mentality. Thousands of people across the country now subscribe to The Sensible Cook newsletter as an easy and cost effective way to eat healthier, using a simple, common sense approach to food.
Dr. Vialpando is the mother of five children and has been an advocate for healthy families, actively working with families and individuals to improve their eating habits, with a "no-diet" approach to eating smart. She has worked in the health industry for over two decades, teaching weight loss and fitness courses at colleges and universities, and traveling as a speaker at health conferences throughout the country.
Years of working with people trying to lose weight, only convinced Kaylan that "dieting" was not the solution. Learning how to cook healthy and eat in a realistic manner was the right path to long term weight control success.
This concept and way of cooking supports overall good health without being overly complicated to prepare or requiring specialty store ingredients. Not only does this help with weight management.
Kaylan incorporates opinions, ideas, and recipes from other home cooks, moms, dads, families, and Sensible Cook subscribers in order to test and produce the best tasting healthy recipes possible for The Sensible Cook newsletter.
The Sensible Cook has been featured on several websites, shows, newspapers, and magazines!
What does it mean to be a sensible cook?
It means that you cook lighter, healthier meals as a lifestyle choice, rather than being on the diet roller-coaster.
It means that we don't have to eat "perfect" all of the time as long as we're willing to be sensible about the big picture and eat right most of the time.
It means that we can have desserts without guilt, because we have prepared them smarter.
It means we choose good fats over bad fats, and low fat over high fat.
It means that we can enjoy the taste of our meals while still eating healthy, without any feelings of deprivation.
A sensible cook is also budget aware, choosing seasonal foods that are available in a regular market.
It's sensible.
A mesage from Kaylan: "I've always believed that dinner time was special because it was the an opportunity for us all to sit down together and connect.
It's also been a great way for me to teach my family how to eat healthy in a common-sense style fashion.
Food shouldn't make you feel guilty. When you choose good foods as a lifestyle, you'll find the process an enjoyable one.
The meal plans & recipes in "The Sensible Cook" are the exact menus that I use with my own family. The recipes have come from years of searching, testing, and modifying recipes for taste and good health. The grocery lists make grocery shopping a breeze, and I love never having to worry about what to fix at the last minute. It really eliminates the stress of figuring out dinner, plus it saves our family money, because we eat out less. I'd encourage to you try The Sensible Cook newsletter. It really does make life easier."
