A blueprint is a working plan based on proven principles that assures success every time. I developed the blueprint behind the Diet Designs program over years of nutritional training and personal experience to bring the biochemical facts about how food works in the body to the sensual and emotional experience of eating. The elements of the Diet Designs blueprint include:
The old saying calls variety the spice of life, and in my practice I've seen first-hand what the studies confirm: A diverse diet is best for your health and most satisfying to your taste buds. The Diet Designs blueprint emphasizes foods that naturally support optimal energy, fat burning, appearance, and longevity while helping to protect against the specific risks of diet-related conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
Science aside, Diet Designs is committed to sensual pleasure. I LOVE food, and my relentless pursuit of delight for the palate has made Diet Designs the lowfat leader in gourmet cuisine. Our contemporary take on recipes from French classics to blueplate specials and menus of the world share the good life with you. At the end of the day you'll simply say "delicious."
Timing is everything, and regular spacing of meals and snacks can stimulate metabolism, stabilize blood sugar, decrease hunger, boost energy, mood, and mental alertness – even control serum cholesterol. Believe it or not, the Diet Designs blueprint calls for eating early and often so that you can enjoy the benefits of a steady fuel supply and a satisfied palate.
The evidence is in and calories do count, in everything from shedding pounds to living longer. Because striking the right balance between energy intake and expenditure is critical to efficient weight loss and management, portion control is at the heart of the Diet Designs blueprint – and the best news is that once you "click in," portioning for your personal needs is natural and easy.
A diet's merit is in the mix, and I've designed my program to provide optimized proportions of protein, carbohydrate, fat, fiber, and vitamins and minerals, with an emphasis on the phytochemicals and antioxidants that can enhance health and lengthen your life.
Each energy equation is different, but here's an example of the math that might underlie a Diet Designs blueprint. Within these proportional ranges lies the right balance for the full range of body types and to meet special needs, such as pregnancy or a preference for a higher-protein diet.

The success of Diet Designs depends upon satisfying the wants and needs of every person I serve. No two bodies or sets of taste buds are alike. Lifestyles, schedules, and individual issues are so varied that there's no one "right" way to eat. There's only the right way for you.
My mission is to design a diet for each individual. Finding dishes that satisfy personal tastes. Scheduling meals to make the most of each day. Addressing emotional needs and balancing your personal energy equation. Every meal is an opportunity to nourish the self and the soul, and I've crafted the Diet Designs blueprint to be your own.
