Meal Plans
Tara Carpenter, NC.
Holistic nutrition for people on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).

I am a Nutritional Consultant and Therapeutic Chef and offer meals plans for people on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).
My knowledge of the human body is woven together with traditional methods of food preparation and B.E.D. principles of health and healing to customize meal plans that meet the needs of each individual.
A meal plan consists of breakfast, lunch, supper, and snacks that are wholesome and rich in nutrients that are specifically chosen to bring balance to the body. When we undergo crisis of any kind, we step into a heightened need for nourishment.
A meal plan can be an asset for moving forward in your well-being.
Our meal plan was an absolute I couldn’t have done without!

I adhere to Donna Gates’, founder of B.E.D., core principles (i.e., food combining, 80/20, unsalted cultured foods) to avoid feeding pathogenic activity that may be living in the body. The goal is to provide nourishment from the inside out to bring balance to the inner ecosytem, soothe irritated or damaged digestive tract lining, and ease the burden on the major detoxification pathways (i.e., skin, mouth, eyes, etc.).
All recipes are included with each meal plan.
Easy-to-digest, anti-inflammatory, alkaline-forming foods.
I emphasize alkalizing, nutrient-dense foods such as soup, stew, root vegetables (i.e., burdock, daikon), expansive leafy greens (i.e., kale, collards), mineral-rich sea vegetables (i.e., hiziki, kombu), seed-like whole grains (i.e., millet, quinoa), wild fish, pastured meat, unsalted probiotic-rich food, sour fruits, healthy fats, and simple snacks.
Gluten, Sugar, Yeast, Pasteurized Dairy-Free
Ingredients are wholesome with each person’s healing in mind. Meals are alkalizing and easy-to-digest to promote health and wellness. Life can be easier with a meal plan and the main challenge most people I consult with face when starting or on B.E.D. ….
I turn individual health and nutrition recommendations into meals you (and your family) can enjoy.
