Description
A comprehensive period recovery meal plan to support you on your journey to regain your menstrual cycle. The eBook includes a guide on eating to heal from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, answers to commonly asked questions plus 27 recipes and a sample 7 day period recovery meal plan.
There are 7 recipes each for breakfast, lunch, dinner plus snack and drinks for sweet and savoury tastes. Each recipe is carefully designed to provide your body with the nutrients it needs to restore your hormones and natural fertility. All recipes are satisfying, quick and easy to make using real food ingredients – student and budget friendly!
I designed this meal plan as a guide to eating the minimum calorie recommendation for recovering your period. Many clients have told me they don’t know how to eat this number of calories without binge eating processed foods. So I created this period recovery meal plan to show how a nutritious and satisfying diet of 2500 calories per day could look. Of course you can of course eat more than this if desired by increasing portion sizes or adding snacks on top of the meal plan.
I have also provided macro and micro nutrient breakdowns for each of the 7 days of the period recovery meal plan and nutrient summaries for the individual recipes for those who are interested in learning where to source different nutrients.
This period recovery meal plan is perfect for getting your period back if it has gone missing or become irregular after:
- Restrictive or chronic dieting
- Intense periods of exercise or stress
- Rapid weight loss
- Metabolic damage or adaptation
The nourishing foods and meals will help to rebuild your body, restore your hormones, reduce your stress levels. Eating this way has helped me and my clients experience increased energy, a clearer mind, higher sex drive, less anxiety, clearer skin and more!
Note – The meal plan includes some vegetarian recipes but is not suitable for vegans. Personally, I do not believe a vegan diet is best for nutritional rehabilitation and restoring hormonal health and fertility, although it can be supportive for those already in good health.

Hi Amy! I was just wondering before I purchase this ebook, would you consider the meal plans and recipes included to be student-friendly? I am taking a full course load and work part-time so don’t have as much time to cook as I used to, and I try to keep my grocery bill on the cheaper side when possible however I really need to start eating more and prioritizing my HA Recovery!
Hope you are well,
Kingsley

Hey Kingsley, good to hear from you! I would say it is student friendly, yes. I am happy to let you be the test drive of that and if you disagree I will refund you, how does that sound? The main carbohydrate sources are oats, bread, rice, root vegetables. The proteins are a mix of animal and plant based but the sourcing is up to you which would of course affect the price. I haven’t specified organic or grass-fed meat as an example but depending on your eating philosophy you might feel the need to pay more for this over conventional. The meal plan can be adjusted based on what you have available but all the meals are easy to prepare in my opinion. The main thing I would say it is definitely not suited to a vegetarian or dairy-free diet as there is milk and/or cheese included daily throughout the meal plan as I find these to be very supportive foods for recovery. If you have any other questions please reach out. Good luck with your recovery, I know you’ve got this! Amy x

I’ve been using the recipes in this meal plan on and off for a month and a half now and have REALLY been enjoying them, especially the lunches. The recipes themselves are easy to prepare which is great for busy student life and most of the ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find where I live. I really loved how she spoke about the beneficial aspects of the recipes and ingredients themselves, especially ingredients that I would have once deemed “too scary”. The section at the beginning of the meal plan is really informational too, and I find myself going back to read it every few weeks just to remind myself why I am moving towards this goal of re-nourishment. Thank you so much, Amy!
