What our members say about the meal plans


NSV- Non-scale victory. I ordered that bird dress as a "reward" for taking off 150 lbs. When it came, it didn't fit AT ALL. I couldn't even get it on, much less zip it. Well now I have taken off 200 lbs, I tried it on again, and ta-dah!!! WFPBNO works my friends. Never give up, never give in!

I wasn't sure I was going to do it because I fell off the wagon BIG TIME in the late summer and never quite recovered. But, when I saw the 75% off offer in my inbox this morning I though to myself, "It's such a small investment for such an enormous resource" - so I re-upped my membership and plan to be MUCH more active. I am doing this for my weight and my health. I have a goal of losing 40lbs this year with the added obstacle of not having my metabolic engine. The ONLY way I will succeed is with lots of healthy eating and no excuses. Thanks in advance for you support. Looking forward to getting to know you all

I decided to try the 30 day money back guarantee. I thought there was no way it was going to be worth it. I love meal planning and have tons of cookbooks. I was shocked by how much money and time it saved (I also went back to work so I needed some extra time). The plan is definitely worth a try. It's been such a blessing to my family. It makes it so much easier to feed my family healthy.

Although I love to cook and our family has eaten vegetarian/vegan meals for years, making the commitment to do this for every meal, all the time, was a bit daunting. Your meal plans have made the transition so much easier, and as I cook through the plans, I have found recipes that are on my go-to list -- Ratatouille Pasta, Creamy Basil Pasta. Thank you again for all of your hard work. It is a blessing.

I love love LOVE the fact that I don't waste food anymore! This is my fridge after all my meal plan food has been eaten. Thank you HH team! These plans kick so much butt.

I finally broke through a threshold - 90 days of being plant-based!!! I've lost 31 lbs since Feb 7, officially (probably more like 40 pounds since January). I'm so thankful for the meal plans!! They keep me satisfied, interested and organized. Lindsay, you help me to keep it real - you are an inspiration to this 54-yo stubborn mule!

I have been a fan of yours for some time now, but I must admit I just (finally) purchased the meal plans today. What was I waiting for?!? This is going to help me SO much! I used the grocery list from the plan and I spent WAY less at the grocery store than usual! Also, I have been wanting to go oil and soy free. I know I have whawt I need now. Thank you!

You should do the happy herbivore meal plans! We bought the yearly membership and my life is changed forever! Grocery lists, recipes,make ahead meal prep. Awesome, heatlhy, cheaper, easier. And much more variety then we ever had before!

I put on 70 (yes, 70!) pounds during my pregnancy last year. I easily lost 55 pounds on my plant-based diet, but got stuck with 15 pounds to go - the scale didn't budge for 4 months despite healthy eating and exercise. I just finished my first week on the HH meal plans and I've already lost 5 pounds! Not to mention my husband (who has recently gone vegan!) is loving all the new recipes I'm making. I love having my week all planned out for me and I get so excited for my next meal. Thank you Lindsay! I'm starting to feel like myself again and I'm so looking forward to what the coming weeks (and beyond!) will bring. Cheers to you.

As a testimony to how great this plan is, I have lost 10lbs. and 9.5inches since starting this lifestyle on January 1st. I am happier and less stessed about food than I have ever been. Thanks Lindsay for providing the tools for success! - January 30th, 2015

Since starting the meal plans 5 weeks ago, I'm down 3 lbs! When I first went plant-based, I limited fats and oil and easily maintained a loss I was happy with. Then I started to follow another plant-based athlete and was convinced that I should be adding in fat along with a few other things that didn't work. I have had a hard time dropping the 5-7 lbs I gained until I started using the meal plans! I'm convinced this way of eating is the way for me.

Since starting the meal plans 5 weeks ago, I'm down 3 lbs!

When I first started to eat WFPB I easily maintained a loss I was happy with and was back to my weight pre-children when I was 25. I was limiting fats, trying to do no oil etc. and eating white potatoes without much thought and in general trying to follow the HH guidelines. Then I started to follow another plant-based athlete and was convinced that I should be adding fat in along with a few other things that didn't work. I was up 5-7 lbs and have had a hard time dropping it until now.

So, I'm convinced that HH way of eating is the way for me. Low fat, simple, and whole foods. I had blood work a few weeks ago and my numbers are GREAT!! I <3 the meal plans!!


Lori B. via Facebook

I have been doing your meal plans for 4 days and have lost 3.6 pounds... which isn't a lot, but from my weight not budging to this.. I am feeling very encouraged. So I got all four books that are on sale on amazon and the Happy Herbivore guide to plant based living. Thank you for all the good inf ormation you provide. I wish I had started sooner! :-)

Hannah Bolen via email

So many successes from my first week using the meal plan! Stepped on the scale this morning and was shocked to see I lost 5 lbs! Realized preparing meals in advance not only makes it super quick to get dinner ready, but clean up is a breeze as well, since I don't have all the prep dishes to wash. Also, I went shopping this evening for next week's meals and only spent $70! I usually spend a bare minimum of $150 (family of 6) so this is huge!!

I am a monthly member of the meal plans, and I have to say they changed my life. I've lost 30 lbs since June/July and I've kept it off! The meals are delicious, healthy, and varied each week. I do have my favorites that I revisit often, but I couldn't be happier. I have never felt this great in my life. They've motivated me tremendously.

I've been able to lose weight before but I've always gained it back....until now. Pants I've put in storage and written off as "someday" are now in my regular rotation!!

Thank you so much!!!

Larry & I eat a Plant-Based Low Fat diet - hey, like Daniel (Biblical) did!! This story is amazing! I HIGHLY recommend subscribing to Lindsay Nixon's Happy Herbivore e-mailings. Lindsay's got the whole package - former Personal Trainer ETC!! SUCH GREAT ADVICE...

Sally S

We made the 'Chickpea Pot Pie Pasta' for dinner last night off of the current meal plan. Everyone had seconds, including the 4 year old!

Thanks so much! Meal plans are like having a mini assistant that makes my grocery list for me, keeps me on track for healthy eat, and saves me a ton of money at the store! No impulse buys, we use everything that we buy. Absolutely love it. Thanks Lindsey and HH team!

I have tried going fully plant-based several times in the past, although I have been vegetarian for 17 years. It was always too stressful for me to plan our menu and do all the shopping. This time around, I did the meal plans and they have been incredible. It keeps everything totally easy when it comes to planning out the week and doing the shopping. It also keeps things fresh because I know we are always trying new things. My husband is finding it a lot easier this time around as well, because he has so many more fun and exciting recipes he's looking forward to! He has been a carnivore through and through since I've met him, so that is huge for us. I have never seen him so motivated to get off of his blood blood pressure meds.

Last year I subscribed to Lindsey's meal plans for about 6 months. Today I discovered that somehow all but 6 weeks were missing from my computer, including the one with the recipe for her AWESOME pumpkin hummus that I was really craving and searching for. I emailed customer service for Get Meal Plans at 12:22 pm, and at 12:59 pm a very nice customer service rep (Jamee Dyches) emailed me 4 1/2 months worth of meal plans, including the one with the pumpkin hummus recipe I was looking for. I am so thankful!!! If you thought customer service was a lost art, you haven't had dealings with Lindsey's team yet. And if you're thinking about subscribing to her meal plans, I HIGHLY recommend it. It was worth every penny before for the great recipes and planning already done. The awesome customer service I received today was the icing on the cake! Thank you!!!

Lindsay, we just started on a week long vacation and I am already missing your great meal plans. Travel is one of my favorite things in life but it's tough when you've been living the culinary good life thanks to the happy herbivore! Just wanted to say that we really appreciate and totally LOVE your recipes/meal plans. Thank you so much for the work you do!

Tamar Christensen via email

I started eating plant based with your meal plans the very end of Feb 2014 and so far I've lost 23lbs, 16.13 inches overall and lowered my cholesterol 40 points!!!! No more cholesterol meds for this chick!! My husband has lost 22 lbs. as well. I love eating this way and have tons of energy.

Thank you very much for what you do to help us uneducated people stick with such a great way of eating to stay healthy! I agree you don't have to be perfect on this plan that's a huge part of why I'm still successful!


Joan Eisenschenk via email

This is the best customer service I've ever received and will be telling some friends about you guys and your awesome meal plans for SURE. Thank you!

Carmen Giffen via email

Hi Lindsay, You are phenomenal. You must spend a lot of time each day just responding to emails so quickly. I appreciate how deftly you acknowledge each person's point of view, and then, non-defensively reiterate your own, and in a very nice way. Your wisdom and breadth of knowledge for your age are impressive. I wish you great health and energy and a long productive life, to keep helping people the way you do.

Karen Andrews via email

Your entire team has been so quick to reply and provide helpful, thoughtful and personalized information and assistance. Thank you so much! I think in the past week or so I have received 3 responses within 24 hours of each of my emails from Jamie, Scott and Lindsay! I am so impressed. I continue to share your blog, info. and my love of all of your cookbooks! Thanks so much. I hope you realize that the work you do makes a huge difference in people's lives!

Laura via email

Your immediate response to my email was so unexpected. I am so used to waiting several days for service by other businesses that I was just blown away by your fantastic service. There is no way it could be any better because it is the best. By far. Yes, Scott, you did WOW me!

Alice Scarbrough via Email

I'm loving the meal plans. They save me so much money, mainly in wasted food, but also in calories, because I don't feel I need to "eat up" something so it doesn't go bad. I actually save so much money this way I'm able to buy more at Whole Foods' organic prices!

Camille D via Email

Your meal plans have changed my life the past two weeks. I am running a business on my own, while attempting to be a super mom and super wife, and contributing to my community. Lack of time is the number one source of stress in my life, followed by lack of money. So, although it may seem like such a simple, small thing, these meal plans have saved me both. I need to be with my girls on the weekends and evenings, not distracted. I have always been very careful about what goes into my daughters mouths, which creates an incredible amount of work for me. And the whole point of this message is to tell you that I am overjoyed beyond words that my 10 month old and I are both eating off of the meal plan. You have no idea how much work you have saved me. She has loved everything and I spend the same amount of time prepping her food... But I get to eat it too. You have given me time with my children, while also contributing to my health and energy, along with my daughter's nutritional needs. Thank you for what you do. I can't wait to keep learning more.

Shaina DiMariano L'Heureux via Facebook

Can I first say how much I LOVE the meal plans!!! What a life saver! As a single mom I am always looking for ways to save on time and still get a healthy meal on the table that my son will eat! Thank you!!

Allie H. via Facebook

I am using the meal plans! Love them! Not only do I not have to think about counting calories and fat (it is already done for you) I have tried so many different foods and combinations of foods that I never would have thought of on my own. So far I have lost abut 12 pounds in 3 weeks:)

Julie Carpenter-Crain via Facebook

I can not thank you enough for doing what you do and doing it so well. I am so thankful I came across your site and family meal plan. After becoming Vegan and having special family dietary needs with soy and dairy allergies I had lack of knowledge and I began to gain weight and the kids thought it was the end of the world with eating boring food. BUT, after just one week so far of your meal plan the kids have loved every meal and I have already lost 7 pounds!! The meals are amazing and easy to prepare. I am looking forward to seeing the new plan each week and making the meals.

Mary Hawkins via Facebook

The meal plans rock. I save 50% on my groceries and always have amazing, delicious lunches.

Debi Cox via Facebook

She has fantastic fast lunches that don't require a refrigerator and can be eaten on the run!

Michelle Reynolds via Facebook

Hey, you replied very quickly and were very kind in your response. Also the fact that you guys sent me another tshirt to fix a mistake that I didn't even notice! I love you guys! I wish more people and companies were as accountable and ethical as you are :)
