Yes! The meal planner makes following the Challenge easy. Simply choose the Seven-Day Rescue plan, and you will get Challenge-compliant meal recommendations that are personalized to you. Once you’ve completed your Seven-Day Rescue Challenge (or if you decide you’d like to follow the more relaxed guidelines of the standard PLANTSTRONG Diet), you can continue on that plan or switch to the traditional PLANTSTRONG Diet in your Preferences.
The Seven-Day Rescue Challenge is just the beginning of your PLANTSTRONG life! Depending on your situation and goals, you have a few choices for next steps. 1.) You can continue following the Seven-Day Rescue guidelines. Continuing on with the meal planner and the Seven-Day Rescue guidelines may help support the goals you’re still working toward. 2.) If you’re satisfied with your post-challenge results, you may consider easing into the traditional PLANTSTRONG guidelines which allow for additional foods such as tofu, tempeh, and more nuts and seeds. You can change your meal plan type at any time, so no matter which path you choose the meal planner will support your journey!
