As a physician, I think this is a very helpful way to eat. I was working to reverse the effects of coronary artery disease and to help control the effects of diabetes. While I was on the Whole Harvest program, my blood sugars were more controlled, and I felt better and had more energy overall.
I had tried other meal delivery services and didn’t enjoy them, especially the ones where I still had to cook my own meals. I can go to the grocery store for that!
I liked Whole Harvest much better. The meals were quite tasty and appetizing, and I loved being able to just pull it from the fridge and eat, and I greatly appreciated the built-in portion control. I’ve struggled with weight most of my life and found it really helped.
Oil-free cooking was new to me! I had been convinced I couldn’t eat well without oil, but it was great.
Overall, I was surprised that the whole experience was so easy! I was concerned it would be difficult to have no oil and eat modest portions.
For people trying to get on weight loss diets – I also believe this is the right way to eat. It really changed my mind about keto and high-fat diets. This is much better.
The only way to experience and understand if it’s going to work for you and to know how it feels is to do it! Whole food plant-based is a difficult thing to do by yourself. It’s a no-brainer to have this kind of support, to not have to worry about the food part of your journey, and to really understand what proper eating is all about.”

Whole Harvest was an important bridge for me to get my life back in order after a cardiac event. As part of the Ornish Reversal Program for cardiac disease, we had so much to do between the exercise, meditation, yoga, sessions with the social worker, and education, and I don’t like to cook!
Overall, this calmed me down and set me free from having to think about the food. The recovery program was intense, and I already live a busy life.
I loved the soups, bean burgers, and the truffles! I was surprised by the variety of the meals. It was fun. There were many interesting foods I would never have thought to make, and they gave me ideas for the future.
I tried other places to have food delivered before Whole Harvest. This was much better, and it’s so hard to find anyone who prepares food without oil, sodium, or other things harmful for cardiac recovery.
I really want people with heart disease to get all the help they can get, and the food is such a major part of recovery. Whole Harvest really follows the recommendation of leading physicians in this field like Dr. Ornish, and Dr. Campbell, and for anyone addressing a cardiac condition, I say give it a try! Give yourself a chance to breathe during recovery.”

I found out I had an 85% blockage in my artery and was at risk for a cardiac event. The first thing I looked up was Dr. Dean Ornish and discovered he had a new virtual program for cardiac rehabilitation. A major part of the recovery of course is the diet.
I run three businesses, and I’m so busy. I don’t have time to cook, and I love that I don’t have to search for ingredients or do prep. I love that I don’t have to worry about it or think about it. I just heat it up, and there it is. The meals are great.
Better yet, I have a group of friends who get together for dinner on Sundays, and I’m on such a restricted diet, I thought I’d have to miss it. Now, I just bring the Whole Harvest meals with me, and I don’t miss a thing!
It would have been so hard for me to stay on the right diet without the convenience of this service. I tell people about Whole Harvest, “Just do it!” I mean, what is the price of your health? There are certain things I will skimp on, but not this. When I get the food, I know it’s clean. It’s good, and it’s made the way it’s supposed to be.

As a Registered Dietician, I’ve always been so careful about what I eat, but a genetic cardiac disorder meant I would need to take things to a new level.
I joined the Ornish Reversal Program for cardiac rehabilitation, and of course, it’s a very intense program. Recovery is so overwhelming, and I needed the food part to be easier. I had tried other “healthy” meal delivery programs in the past whose food was just awful. These meals are not only delicious, but the different recipes gave me many interesting ideas for things I want to try in the future. It opened the door for so many different ways to follow the low fat, high-fiber diet I need to stay healthy.
Everything is done right. The food is fresh, and well-prepared. Most importantly, I feel wonderful when I eat this way. I just feel healthier. In fact, I wish more hospitals would serve patients with this quality of food. I’m a big fan of Whole Harvest!
