I recently shared some of my background and experience with the Whole30 program and one of the biggest (not so secret) secrets of being successful when it comes to doing a Whole30 or eating healthy in general is to plan ahead. Life is messy, the day-to-day is busy and unexpected things and stressful situations often come up with the potential to derail the best of intentions. Besides, as Melissa Hartwig and Dallas Hartwig wrote in The Whole30, your brain loves a plan. Planning ahead reduces decision fatigue, the need to resist temptations or exercise self-control.

Whole30 Meal Prep Secrets :: Prepare the Basics and Learn to Mix and Match

Hi! I’m Miranda and I am beyond excited to have a platform to share my passion for cooking real (but still delicious) foods, enthusiasm for all things barre, and thoughts and ideas on a building a more healthy, holistic, and happy lifestyle. I am a Christian, a wife, a puppy mom, a nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP) in training, and a barre and Pilates instructor who recently became a homeowner back home after living as an expat in Ireland for a few years. Aside from getting sweaty working out and experimenting in the kitchen, I love to read, write, learn, travel, and spend time with friends and family.
