30-Day No-Sugar, Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan for Weight Loss, Created by a Dietitian
Each day provides an average of 80 grams of protein and at least 28 grams of fiber to support sustained energy levels and healthy weight loss.
This plan prioritizes whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and lean protein, while avoiding added sugars.Follow this anti-inflammatory meal plan for a month of meals and snacks tailored to reduce inflammation and promote weight loss. You'll find an abundance of antioxidant-rich produce, healthy fats from fish, nuts and seeds, and plenty of flavor, too. To maximize nutrition and this plan's anti-inflammatory benefits, we opted to skip added sugars, which can exacerbate inflammation. We do, however, include foods that contain natural sugars, such as fruit, vegetables and unsweetened dairy. These foods also provide many important nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. To facilitate a smooth routine, we also included some meal-prep tips at the start of each week and opted for leftovers a few times throughout the month.

Is it OK to mix and match meals if there is one I do not like?
Yes! This meal plan is meant to serve as inspiration. It doesn't need to be followed exactly to reap the benefits. When choosing recipes, we made sure to check the calories, fiber, protein and sodium to align with the parameters of this plan and be within our sodium limits. If you're making a recipe swap, it may be helpful to choose a recipe with similar calories, fiber, protein and sodium levels. For more inspiration, check out these delicious anti-inflammatory and no-sugar recipes.
Can I eat the same breakfast or lunch every day?
Definitely, it's fine to eat the same breakfast or lunch every day. The breakfasts range from 330 to 400 calories while the lunches span 325 to 475 calories. These ranges are fairly close, though if you're closely monitoring your calories or other nutrients, like protein, you may want to adjust a snack or two.
Can I follow this plan if I am not trying to lose weight?
Yes! Everyone can benefit from an anti-inflammatory diet, which is ultimately a nutrient-rich eating plan. Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous health issues, so being proactive and aiming to reduce inflammation and up your nutrient intake can be a great step to take. If weight loss isn't your goal, you may need to adjust the total calories. We included modifications for a 2,000-calorie day that may help.
Why is there not a modification for 1,200 calories?
We no longer provide modifications for 1,200-calorie days in our meal plans. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests that limiting calories to 1,200 per day is too low for most people to meet their nutritional needs, plus it's unsustainable for long-term health and well-being.
The anti-inflammatory diet is very similar to the popular Mediterranean diet. The anti-inflammatory diet emphasizes eating foods that may reduce inflammation, such as highly pigmented fruits and vegetables like cherries, kale, berries and beets. It also includes plenty of fish, nuts, seeds and other healthy fats. While eating this way 100% of the time is not required to reap anti-inflammatory benefits, the diet does limit added sugars, refined grains and ultra-processed foods.Registered dietitians thoughtfully create EatingWell's meal plans to be easy-to-follow and delicious. Each meal plan meets specific parameters depending on the health condition and/or lifestyle goal it is targeting and is analyzed for accuracy using the nutrition database, ESHA Food Processor. As nutritional needs differ from person to person, we encourage you to use these plans as inspiration and adjust as you see fit.Read the original article on EATINGWELL

Hospital says it never agreed to deactivate inmate's heart device before execution
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee hospital says it never agreed to a request by state officials who face a court order to turn off a death row inmate's heart-regulating implant before his execution next week. After a Nashville judge ordered the deactivation of Byron Black's device, a Tennessee Department of Correction official said in a court declaration that Nashville General Hospital told her they could disable it the day before his Aug. 5 execution at 10 a.m., but wouldn't come to the prison on execution day, as the judge had ordered. The judge ultimately allowed some leniency, saying Black could be moved to the hospital the morning of the execution. But on Wednesday, Nashville General Hospital spokesperson Cathy Poole said the medical center did not agree to participate at all, saying the hospital 'has no role in State executions.' The statement adds a significant complication to the court case, which relied on the state's comment about Nashville General's expected involvement. The order is under appeal, as the days dwindle before the execution. Black's attorneys say his heart device would continuously shock him in an attempt to restore his heart's normal rhythm due to the lethal injection of pentobarbital, but the state disputes that and argues that even if shocks were triggered, that Black wouldn't feel them. WPLN-FM first reported on the statement from the hospital, which said, 'Earlier reports of Nashville General Hospital's involvement are inaccurate.' 'The correctional healthcare provider contracted by the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC), did not contact appropriate Nashville General Hospital leadership with its request to deactivate the implanted defibrillator," Poole said. "Any assertion the hospital would participate in the procedure was premature. 'Our contract with the correctional healthcare provider is to support the ongoing medical care of its patients," Poole continued. "This request is well outside of that agreement and would also require cooperation with several other entities, all of which have indicated they are unwilling to participate.' A spokesperson for the state Department of Correction referred a request for comment to the attorney general's office, which did not immediately respond. Kelley Henry, an attorney for Black, said, 'TDOC has mishandled this situation from the beginning. My hope is that the Governor will issue a reprieve to avoid a gruesome spectacle.' Black's final appeals for a reprieve are pending in state and federal courts, and through a clemency request with GOP Gov. Bill Lee. They also include an intellectual disability claim. The state has since sought to overturn the order to deactivate Black's implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, including when and where to do it. The state Supreme Court is considering the request. The state has said the lower-court judge lacked authority to order the device disabled. The state also says the order to transport Black to the hospital the morning of the execution presents a 'very real risk of danger to TDOC personnel, hospital patients/staff, the public, and even Black,' mentioning protesters. It's about 7 miles (11 kilometers) from Riverbend Maximum Security Institution to Nashville General Hospital. Henry, Black's attorney, said the state presented 'zero evidence of security risk,' including from the frail, 69-year-old Black or the pacifists who protest executions by prayer. Henry also said state officials had not really tried to find a doctor willing to come to the prison. Black was convicted in the 1988 shooting deaths of his girlfriend Angela Clay, 29, and her two daughters, Latoya, 9, and Lakeisha, 6. Prosecutors said he was in a jealous rage when he shot the three at their home. At the time, Black was on work-release while serving time for shooting and wounding Clay's estranged husband. Black's motion related to his heart device came within a general challenge he and other death row inmates filed against the state's new execution protocol. The trial isn't until 2026. The heart device issue also has been a reminder that most medical professionals consider participation in executions a violation of medical ethics. Dan Mann, a talent booking agent and death penalty opponent who has visited Tennessee's death row for years, wrote a letter to Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell and metro councilmembers calling for a resolution against the city's hospital participating in pre-execution procedure. The hospital is governed by a metro Nashville authority, with board members picked by the mayor.

Legal Bodybuilding SARMS: Why More Pro Lifters in 2025 Trust CrazyBulk's Safe Alternatives to Gain Muscle, Increase Strength and Cutting
CrazyBulkNew York City, NY, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CrazyBulk is leading the 2025 muscle-building evolution with what many experts consider the best SARMs for cutting and bulking legally available - no injections, no dangerous side effects, just powerful, safe body transformation. The New Era of Bodybuilding: From Risky Steroid Compounds to Legal SARMs The bodybuilding industry is undergoing a seismic shift in priorities. For decades, people wanting muscle, strength, and razor-sharp definition often meant making tough choices between performance and health. But as science advances and regulations tighten, the next generation of pro and amateur lifters is demanding more: they want real results without risking their long-term well-being. At the epicenter of this evolution is the rise of legal SARMs alternatives - a new class of supplements that promise the muscle-building and fat-burning power of traditional anabolic agents, but with a focus on safety, legal compliance, and natural ingredients. And when it comes to legal SARMs, one name stands at the forefront: has firmly established itself as the market leading SARMs company in the USA and worldwide, earning a reputation for excellence with its safe, legal, and natural alternatives to the most sought-after selective androgen receptor modulators. View SARMS bulking stack for rapid muscle growth Weight lifters, Bodybuilders and professional athletes trust CrazyBulk for their cutting-edge muscle supplements inspired by RAD 140 (Testolone), Ostarine 2866, Ligadrol LGD 4033, and Ibutamoren MK 677. Unlike conventional SARMs, CrazyBulk's formulas deliver the muscle-building, fat-cutting, and performance-boosting benefits of these powerhouse compounds—without the legal risks, side effects, or need for a prescription. With rigorous quality standards, transparent ingredient sourcing, and a proven track record of global customer satisfaction, CrazyBulk continues to lead the industry as the go-to provider for anyone looking for safe, effective SARMs for muscle growth, fat loss, and total body transformation. What Are SARMs and Why Do Bodybuilders Want Them? SARMs, or Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, were originally developed as a way to harness the muscle-building benefits of anabolic steroids while minimizing undesirable side effects. Unlike classic steroids, SARMs target specific androgen receptors in muscle and bone tissue, theoretically resulting in enhanced muscle growth, strength, and fat loss with fewer risks. However, unregulated SARMs have been plagued by health concerns, legal restrictions, and purity issues. As a result, the demand for safe, legal, and effective alternatives has never been higher—especially among elite athletes who refuse to compromise their careers or health. CrazyBulk: The Trusted Name in Legal SARMs Alternatives CrazyBulk has long been recognized as a leader in natural, legal performance supplements. In 2025, the brand has solidified its reputation by launching a comprehensive line of legal SARMs alternatives - formulas designed to help bodybuilders and athletes achieve their goals without the downsides of banned or synthetic substances.
