Why I Love Emeals

Time and Money.

These are the two biggest concerns I hear from people on a daily basis regarding their transition to cleaner eating. Time. We feel we never have enough. Money. We feel we never have enough, myself included.

As a military spouse of 3 children, with my head literally floating up in the clouds half the time, I completely understand. We want the best nutrition, we want to live our healthiest lives, but we sometimes feel like our hands are tied. And no matter how hard we try, the cupcake diet is not going to help with our end goals. Trust me, I may or may not have given it my best shot.

Along the way, I’ve tried to provide you my most helpful tips in eating well on a budget and I have one more! A couple of years ago I was contacted by Emeals to participate in a podcast with them, talking about everything from my books to chronic illness to why paleo has been such an integral part of my healing journey. And it was then that I really had the opportunity to dig into what Emeals does for us and I got to learn first hand just what a necessity they are in a world where you could swear there aren’t a full 24 hours in a day.

For those of you not familiar, Emeals is an online meal planning service – they provide everything from ideas, shopping lists, recipes and specific dietary categories. In essence, they take your two biggest concerns, time and money, and provide solutions to them both.
