Frequently asked questions


  • Is it okay to mix and combine meals when there is one that I don’t like?

    For this plan, we have focused on recipes with food and nutrients that can help reduce inflammation. You can mix and adapt meals if there are one that you don’t like, choose remains for a few days or search some of our other anti-inflammatory diet recipes for additional inspiration.


  • Can I eat the same breakfast or lunch every day?

    You can eat the same breakfast and lunch every day if it is easier for your routine. Each breakfast has around 400 calories, while lunch is sufficient between 393 and 473 calories. These areas are quite similar, so a simple exchange should work for most people.


  • Why is there no change for 1,200 calories?

    In our menu, we no longer offer any changes for 1,200 calorie days. Nutrition guidelines 2020-2025 For Americans suggest that the restriction of calories to 1,200 a day is too low for most people to meet their nutritional needs, and not sustainable for long-term health and well-being.


  • How do you follow the anti -inflammatory diet?

    To follow the anti -inflammatory diet, focus on eating a variety of fruit and vegetables, fermented foods, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fishing and other healthy fats. The specific nutrients that can reduce inflammation include omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, zinc, magnesium and vitamins A, C, E and D. Food that are to be limited, include excess sugar, alcohol, processed meat and sophisticated grains.

Health advantages of anti -inflammatory diet

The anti -inflammatory diet is similar to the popular Mediterranean diet. Both eating patterns prioritize vegetable foods such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains and legumes as well as healthy fats from fish, nuts and olive oil. While chronic inflammation is a complex problem affected by factors such as lifestyle habits and the environment, research supports after an anti -inflammatory nutrition routine as a means of reducing inflammation and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. After the anti-inflammatory diet, blood sugar and the risk of type 2 diabetes, the health of the heart, the risk of cognitive decline and improving the gastrointestinal disorders can improve. Life habits such as smoking cessation, reduction in alcohol, regular exercise and weight loss can also play a role in reducing inflammation. Research indicates a healthy, anti -inflammatory nutritional pattern as a key component for reducing inflammation and not to individual foods. The implementation of this nutrient -rich eating pattern can help reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of a chronic illness.

How we create food plans

Registered nutritionists create the Eatingwell menu thoughtfully in order to easily follow and be delicious. Each menu fulfills certain parameters, depending on the state of health and/or the lifestyle goal it aims, and is analyzed with the help of the food database ESHA food cover for accuracy. Since the nutritional needs differ from person to person, we encourage them to use these plans as inspiration and adapt them at will.
