Whole Body Cuisine: A Program for Healthier Eating

When you're always on the go, it's hard to make wise food choices and stick to your weight-loss goals. That's why we created Whole Body Cuisine.

The meals in this program are varied, tasty and well-balanced, with controlled levels of fat, calories and sodium. Whole Body Cuisine makes it easier to:

• Maintain a healthy body weight (especially when combined with regular exercise)
• Keep your total fat intake at or below 30% of your daily calories
• Reduce the total number of calories you consume
• Limit the amount of cholesterol in your diet
• Balance your diet over the course of a day or week so you can still find a place for your favorite foods
• Avoid highly processed or refined foods
• Trim portion sizes and overall consumption of meats, poultry, eggs and whole-milk cheeses
• Eat a greater variety of fruits, vegetables and starchy foods to ensure adequate levels of vitamins, minerals and fiber
• Our Whole Body station is always Gluten Free!

We serve one Whole Body Cuisine entrée and one vegetable at every meal (breakfast excluded). Look for our signs at The Main Event food station, and get started on the road to healthy eating!
