Health My Lifestyle

about us

Health My Lifestyle is all about the practical application of the whole foods plant-based way of eating. We’re about making the change in a sustainable way so that it is no longer a “diet”, it just becomes what you eat. Research has shown that diets are unsustainable and that lifestyle changes are necessary to see a lasting impact on our health.

We created this meal planning application to bridge the gap from diet to lifestyle by providing the tools that make it as easy and sustainable as possible. With collectively over 9 years of eating plant-based, we’ve acquired the knowledge and resources to have successfully helped thousands transition to a plant-based lifestyle.

The founder

Hi, I’m Rachel Lessenden, the founder of Health My Lifestyle and the Health My Lifestyle Meal Planner.

After switching to the plant-based lifestyle, I saw immediate changes in weight loss, higher energy levels, better skin and better digestion. After experiencing so many positive benefits there was no doubt—I was in it for the long haul.

I knew to continue feeling my best I needed to make sure I had healthy and delicious food prepared weekly so that I could stop depending on convenience foods.

For me, meal planning was really what helped me make plant-based eating sustainable and make it a lifestyle rather than just another diet.

I now have a better relationship with food and am thankful that I found a sustainable lifestyle. My mission is to help others do the same.

I am here to support your transition into the best, healthiest version of yourself through whole plant foods in the easiest way possible.

I hope you’ll join us on this plant-based journey and see what I mean!

Toggle nutrition facts on or off to track calories/macros if desired. Leftovers don’t count toward nutrition facts at this time so if your numbers seem low, check to see if any meals have a serving set to zero.

Like to cook with a page in front of you? Print it! This will print all recipes set to the number of servings you have on your meal plan. Recipes with zero servings will not be printed.

Once you have your meal plan how you want it, it’s time to generate a shopping list. Click this, select the days you want to shop for, then select the Shopping Cart icon again to create the list.
