Weight isn’t just a number — it’s a signal. And if you’ve been gaining weight (or struggling to lose it), your body is telling you something important: it’s out of balance.

The Weight and Body Composition Plan from Recipe Shop was created to address the three biggest barriers to sustainable weight loss that most diets ignore: sodium-driven fluid retention, inflammation-fueled fat storage, and loss of lean muscle mass. Our low-sodium, protein-rich, whole-food recipes are built to work with your body — not against it.


💧 1. Flush the Bloat: The Sodium Trap

Excess sodium isn’t just bad for blood pressure — it can add 3–7 pounds of pure water weight in just a few days. It also raises cortisol, increases belly fat, and causes systemic puffiness. By keeping sodium around 500mg per meal, our plan helps flush this retained fluid so your face, fingers, and midsection deflate — fast.


🧨 2. Reduce Inflammation: Fat Loss Starts in the Cells

Inflammation blocks the metabolic pathways your body needs to burn fat. It makes insulin less effective, raises fat-storing hormones, and keeps you feeling tired and heavy. Our meals feature anti-inflammatory all-stars like leafy greens, turmeric, berries, olive oil, and wild salmon — scientifically proven to reduce chronic inflammation and restore metabolic clarity.


💪 3. Rebuild Lean Muscle: The Secret to Sustainable Weight Loss

Crash diets cause muscle loss — which slows your metabolism and guarantees rebound weight gain. Our meals are designed to protect and rebuild lean tissue with 25g+ protein per serving, paired with strategic carbs and healthy fats to support insulin sensitivity and nutrient absorption. The result? A stronger, leaner body that stays that way.


🔁 4. Support Fat-Burning, Not Just Weight Loss

True transformation isn’t about shrinking — it’s about reshaping. This plan helps you improve body composition by increasing muscle-to-fat ratio, reducing visceral fat, and improving insulin response — all backed by peer-reviewed science. The best part? These meals are simple, satisfying, and made to fit your real life.


This isn’t just a low-sodium weight loss plan. It’s a strategic approach to sustainable fat loss and body recomposition — powered by real food and real results.
