Aside from being a great source of energy, fats are needed by your body to perform basic daily functions. Healthy fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats from foods like salmon, avocados, eggs, nuts, and olive oil.

Here are some of the benefits of including healthy fats in your diet:


• Brain Function
Your brain and nerve tissues are largely made up of fat, so it’s important to get fatty acids in your diet. Low fat amounts can lead to brain fog.


• Heart Health
Healthy fats help supply you with omega acids that can reduce inflammation and increase heart health.


• Hormone Balance
Without enough healthy fats, your hormones can become unbalanced and lead to issues like mood changes and even infertility.


• Stay Satisfied and Avoid Overeating
Diets that include fat are better able to balance hunger hormones to help you feel satisfied and avoid cravings later.


• Reduce Risk of Diabetes
Healthy fats help you to control insulin levels and regulate blood sugar levels.


• Healthy Hair and Skin
Fats help your body absorb essential fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K which helps support healthy hair and skin.

    Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years.   My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday.  Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change.   Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds.  I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons.  Something was missing.  I was thin, but I wasn't fit.  I wasn't healthy.  I could feel it in my insides.  I was 136 pounds and a size 8.  Something didn't add up.   I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods.  90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4). 
     
    Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it.  I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health.  My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

    December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born.  Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you.   Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN.  Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose. 

    Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business.  Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
