Cohen Meals on Wheels, The Convenient Way To Eat Healthy

Are you having a hard time keeping up with your diet plan? Have your food delivered to your doorstep! It’s convenient, a timesaver and most importantly, effective.

A study published in the medical journal, Obesity Research, suggested that food provision is an effective strategy to weight-loss patients: “Better results might be achieved if more direct approaches were taken to make environmental changes by providing food to participants.”

In the Philippines, one popular food delivery service is the Cohen Meals on Wheels, which is exclusively offered to the followers of the Cohen’s Lifestyle Program, a personalized and rapid weight-loss program through nutrition. The Cohen Meals on Wheels delivers customized food to clients following the guidelines of the Cohen program.

“We aim to provide a solution to clients who find it a challenge to prepare their own meals daily,” says Chef Pixie Sevilla. A pastry chef, consultant, food stylist, and food writer, Chef Pixie went through the Cohen program herself before leading the team of chefs who prepare the Cohen Meals on Wheels dishes based on a weekly menu.

“The temptation of clients to cheat mostly comes from the lack of time to prepare their meals, or if they do have time, they tend to prepare the same meals over and over again. With Cohen Meals on Wheels, we make sure that we prepare their meals accurately and we plan the menu in such a way that they will look forward to it every day and will enjoy eating them as well,” she elaborates.

 A growing number of clients have found Cohen Meals on Wheels to be an answer to their needs, including Dr. Ryan Capitulo, an obstetrician-gynecologist and assistant professor. Dr. Capitulo weighed more than 300 lbs. and suffered from hypertension when he enrolled in the Cohen program.

Like most clients, he did not have a knack for cooking so he ordered food from Cohen Meals on Wheels to follow his personalized meal plan. “I don’t know how to cook and I don’t have the time to prepare my own meals. Cohen Meals on Wheels has definitely helped me follow my meal plans and lose weight.”

Happy and satisfied with the Cohen Meals on Wheels service, Dr. Capitulo was not deprived of delicious food while following his personalized Cohen meal plan. Most importantly, his weight has also dropped. He lost 88 pounds in 4.5 months.

As for Chef Pixie and the people behind Cohen Meals on Wheels, they are continuously looking for new recipes to add in the menus. They are also considering the possibility of a larger delivery scope. “There are some inquiries that we can’t cater to yet because of the area they are in, especially in the major cities outside Metro Manila.”

SIMPLE, HEALTHY SNACK – Peanuts

Do you know that eating peanut is a good way to eat enough protein, stay fit, and protect yourself from chronic diseases. Actually, according to the study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, eating a handful of peanuts daily may lower your risk of developing heart disease.

My favorite way to enjoy peanuts is dry roasted with or without the shell with no added salt or oil. Roasting enhances its taste and actually improves the antioxidant content of peanuts. In fact, boiling and dry roasting tends to reduce the calorie count of peanuts.

Peanuts are great as snack food, they’re inexpensive, easy to store pack when you’re on the go. They have been shown to keep you satisfied so you naturally reduce eating extra calories throughout the day and do not crave empty calories. When you eat a handful of peanuts each day, you are feeding your body a rich source of plant protein, fiber and nutrients that are thought to contribute to keeping you satisfied, helping to keep calories in check and manage weight.

Peanuts are high in vitamin E and folate, other vitamins in peanuts include thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, choline and betaine. Minerals in peanuts include manganese, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, copper, selenium and zinc. Raw peanuts only contain 5 milligrams of sodium, but this level can be significantly higher in peanuts cooked with salt.

with Mega Tuna #AllPureTuna

Unlike other tuna brands, Mega Tuna does not utilize Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) or commonly known as "extenders". Extenders when combined with additives such as food coloring, MSG, or emulsifiers and the likes, can be potentially harmful to one’s health. The most common ingredients used by some canned tuna as extenders are "soy protein concentrates". So next time you buy canned tuna, don't forget to check the label!

According to Liza : “I’m very excited and grateful to my Mega Global Family for trusting me to be the endorser of Mega Tuna.  I like being healthy and Mega Tuna is the perfect partner for me.  With Mega Tuna you are getting 100% Pure Tuna in all variants.”
