I don’t overcomplicate food, and I don’t want you to either.
Every week I’ll share some of my own real-life meals to show you how I use the AD Wellness balanced plate method. It’s simple, repeatable, and what I lean on anytime I’m putting a meal together:
👉 Start with protein (about a palm-sized portion, usually 3–5 oz if you’re using animal protein).
👉 Add fiber (aim for about half your plate from veggies, fruit, beans, or starchy carbs like potatoes or rice).
👉 Include some fat (the oil you cook with, avocado, nuts, seeds, etc.).
👉 Leave room for cravings because food should be enjoyable. Maybe it’s fries, maybe it’s something sweet after dinner. There’s always space for it.
This framework works in real life, and I’ll keep showing you what it looks like week after week. We keep it simple with meal prep, add flavor with sauces and spices, and make meals that are satisfying without being complicated.
