A little while back, the very lovely Tess Challis and Dr. Mary Clifton told me about their company called Get Waisted. I try not to talk about weight loss or diet plans on this blog, but I made an exception here, because their program is so awesome (and healthy!). It’s so much more than a diet…It’s really a lifestyle approach to healthy eating and optimal weight loss. Kind of like a modern-day Weight Watchers, but with a plant-based, whole-food approach. I was so excited to check out their program, which is amazing in so many ways!
First off, Mary Clifton is a medical doctor, and Tess is a healthy chef, so between them they bring years of experience to the table, including sound medical advice and scrumptious recipes that just happen to be healthy. They also have an online program, so you can do the program from anywhere, as well as weekly meetings held across the country. And, best of all, you don’t have to track the food you eat. Get Waisted uses a color-coded system that gives you the flexibility to eat what you really want, while still losing weight and enjoying ever increasing health benefits!
Their program is about long-term health, definite results, and vitality. It’s about finally making healthy eating and weight loss joyful. It’s about turning your life around and never feeling bad about your body or your diet again. This is something that I can get behind. For years I spent way too much time and energy obsessing over diet plans and trying to loose weight in unhealthy ways, until I finally decided that this was not a healthy or happy way to live. That’s what is so awesome about this program. Get Waisted is about feeling good and being healthy, not about feeling bad about yourself.
The recipes are also delicious, and are based on the recipes in Tess’s cookbooks. I have been reading my way through their newest book (which they co-wrote together) aptly titled “Get Waisted, 100 Addictively Delicious Plant-Based Entrees,” as well as one of Tess’s other books titled “Radiance 4 Life.” Both books are filled with easy and delicious recipes, with super-foods and delicious flavors that we all love. Recipes like Thai Red Curry Noodles, Sesame Miso Rice, Ten Minute Pasta with Artichokes, Savory Soul Bowl, Fresh Summer Rolls, Chicky Burgers, Samosa Wrap with Cilantro Chutney and so much more! There are even a few luscious dessert recipes. The online program includes even more recipes.
You can find out more about the Get Waisted program and cookbooks on their website at getwaisted.com. You can read more about Tess and her cookbooks at www.radianthealth-innerwealth.com
Lucky for you guys that Tess has offered to give one of her cookbooks to one of my readers! So hurry up and leave your name (and a way to reach you by email), and your favorite healthy food, in the comment section. I will pick one lucky winner next week. Unfortunately it’s only open to residents of the US. Good luck!
I received no financial compensation for this review, and shared my honest feelings about their program. I was given a copy of their book to review.
Thanks for the giveaway ! The recipes sound absolutely delicious !
Sounds like a wonderful giveaway! I have a hard time narrowing down my favorite healthy food. I think it changes seasonally and often! One of the things I always keep on hand of late is a giant head of fresh green cabbage. Slivered with onions and carrots, topped with tofu, and tossed with a rice wine vinegar/pineapple juice dressing and cilantro. I’ve been eating it daily.
Thank you for this giveaway!
My fave is tofu, but I’m currently checking out ways for other meatless “meats”! And checking out pressure cooking also!
Avocados….I could eat them everyday!
Our favorite healthy food is artichokes.
My favorite healthy food might very well be cashews. I can use them in so many different ways.
Julie, what a lovely review!! I’ve very much enjoyed following Tess on FB and will have to learn more about Dr. Clifton’s work! I’m crazy about avocados/guacamole and pico de gallo is awesome on so many things so I’d say they’re two of my favorites (but avocado in moderation. 🙂 )
Thanks for doing the giveaway — her recipes sound delicious! My favorite healthy food is avocado!
oranges and grapefruit
Avocado and coconut “bacon” on toast.
Fave healthy food- kale! I used to dislike it, but it’s grown on me. Now I can’t get enough.
I love quinoa!! High protein whole grain.
My favorite healthy food is leeks. Thanks!
My favorite healthy foods are champagne mangoes, avocados, and microgreens.
Thank you for this lovely giveaway! My favorite is a good green smoothie of spinach, banana, and almond milk. For a single food, maybe brussels sprouts?
My favorite healthy food (at the moment!) is chickpeas. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Sounds great! Favorite healthy food – salad with hemp seeds!
Great review! When you’re eating fresh whole foods, how can you not feel amazing?! I love cut up mango and banana with passion fruit on top 🙂
My fave healthy food is salad loaded with nut dressing and legumes
My favorite healthy food is spinach and strawberry salad.
I am at that place where I know I need to eat healthy but haven’t found them yet, even though I have been vegan for 11 years now, I have reverted to eating not healthy vegan foods. I do enjoy banana custard (frozen and run through the yo nanna)
My favorite healthy food is Granny Smith apples with almond butter. I could eat 5 a day!
My favorite healthy food is kale. I think I could eat kale chips and massaged kale salad every day.
Edamame here!
Supercool! I like that there are no processed foods or supplements, no meal replacement shakes or bars, and that ingredients can be purchased at your local grocery store. Plus all those yumful recipes! Thanks for the info and links! 🙂
My favorite healthy food is steamed red cabbage and kale.
Everyone loves it when people get together andd share views.
Great website, stick with it!
Hi,
Favorite snack, organic apples and organic peanut butter.
I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
