Real food, without the guesswork
Most eating guides ask you to count something, cut something, or buy something unusual. This one asks you to cook. Every recipe uses whole ingredients you can find at a normal grocery store, and every week builds on the one before it.
- 30 whole-food recipes — breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks, each with 10 ingredients or fewer.
- A four-week meal plan you can follow as written or mix and match.
- Printable shopping lists organised by aisle, so a week's food is one trip.
- Batch-cooking guide for turning two hours on Sunday into five ready meals.
- Pantry basics — what to keep on hand so a real meal is always 20 minutes away.
- Swap tables for vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free cooking.

Week 4 — Make it stick
Eating out, travel days, busy weeks, and a simple plan for month two.
