Having Trouble Finding a Nutritous Balance?
You’re Not Alone. And I’m Here to Help!
I was a vegan for over 5 years before I fully understood the power of calorie density to help you lose weight. I was eating a ‘mostly healthy’ diet loaded with oils, peanut butter, nuts and seeds, dried fruits, (all very calorie dense) and the occasional processed vegan meat and cheese product. I wasn’t fully aware that my weight was creeping up until my clothes didn’t fit and I found myself hiding under very flowy dresses everyday. As someone who has never believed in traditional dieting and restricting yourself to small portions, I knew there had to be a way to eat until you’re full and still be in your ideal, healthy weight range. Calorie Density and STARCH are the answer.

Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a nature lover, (daily power walks are MUST for me!) I love to travel (especially Thailand!) and I’m passionate about teaching women how to lose weight and regain their health with low calorie density. This information has been life changing for me and I’m passionate about sharing it with other women. Weight loss is the #1 personal goal worldwide and it doesn’t have to be complicated once you learn and apply the principals of calorie density to your own life. I coach women 1-on-1 on zoom calls to help them set up a healthy habits, ‘do-able’ goals and finally lose the weight.

At 3998 calories per pound, oil is at the top end of the calorie density scale. Adding oil to your meals increases the calorie density of the meal substantially.

Starch is the secret. Starch has had such a bad reputation when it comes to health and weight loss… but, starch IS so important because it is what will fill you up with water and fiber. Starch is low calorie density, but still filling enough to leave you sufficiently satiated.

I’ve Developed Simple & Realistic Methods to help you put your weight loss on autopilot.
My biggest recommendation is to take the time to LEARN about calorie density and following a whole food plant based diet. There are thousands who have reversed their heart disease, autoimmune diseases and regained their health eating this way. As Dr. John McDougall says, “It’s the FOOD!”

“PROCESS OVER OUTCOME! I’m learning to fall in love with the process of eating whole food plant based and letting the results speak for themselves. I’ve known about calorie density for a while, but you help me simplify the process and figure out what to actually eat day to day. Thanks Melissa.”

Legumes—beans, peas, lentils, and soy—seitan, and quinoa are the best sources of protein for vegans. Include a few servings of these foods each day.

Fantastic! Start by watching a few of the videos in my ‘weightloss’ playlist on youtube, here.

That’s ok! If you’ve watched a few of my “What I Ate Today” videos on youtube, you’ll see that I don’t follow any complex recipes. All of my meals are simple, easy to replicate and the ingredients are inexpensive. Start by choosing 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners you like and eat those on rotation while you’re learning new meals to add into the mix.

While every body is different (metabolism, genetics, age, amount of weight to lose, etc.) you can expect to lose up to 1 pound of fat per week while following this lower calorie density way of eating. My suggestion: Don’t be in a rush! If it takes a few months (or even a year), so be it. Just focus on doing the best job you can at eating starchy, filling, healthy meals and let your body do the work.

I speak a lot about this in my youtube videos. A few tips: don’t keep any junk food in your house that you would be upset about eating. “If it’s in your house, it’s in your mouth!”- Chef AJ Also, make sure you’re eating enough food at your mealtimes. If you’re under-eating and hungry, you’ll be more likely to reach for the rich, calorie-dense junk foods to fill you up.
