Rhythm of the Plate

The simple framework for one warm, on-time meal you can actually repeat

Upgrade now to unlock the full Rhythm of the Plate template—your 2-week lunch window, one warm base, boundary scripts, and a 3 pm Crash/Grind/Steady tracker. Already a paid subscriber? You’re set—this is for you.

Even out, I keep the same rhythm: one warm bowl, greens on the side, and time to sit and eat.

In a recent post, we untangled the Oprah question and the tension between willpower and biology.

Today, we’re done theorizing.

This is where Rhythm of the Plate stops being a phrase and becomes something you can actually do.

By the end of this letter, I want you to have your own:

• set lunch window

• go-to warm base

• tiny nervous-system routine

Not 17 new rules. One daily rhythm.

What “Rhythm of the Plate” actually means

To be clear: this is not a perfect meal plan.

Rhythm of the Plate is three things:

1. When you eat – a fixed-ish window.

2. What you eat – a simple, warm base you can repeat.

3. How you eat – the state of your nervous system while you’re at the plate.

When + What + How = Time, Bowl, Breath

Get those three beating together, and your 3 pm will tell you the truth.

Let’s build it.

Below, we’ll choose your exact lunch window, pick one warm base, design your nervous-system routine, and set up a 10-day 3 pm tracker.
