Joy of Colorful Cooking


Joy of Colorful cooking works with individuals and small groups to provide fun and educational

opportunities to learn about Nutritarian cooking and eating. Nutritarian eating is a program to promote

longevity, disease prevention and reversal and weight loss using the teachings of Dr. Joel Fuhrman.


I am a Nutritarian food coach that will help to create new eating habits and help you strive to care for

this body by providing it with high nutrient foods that are health promoting.

About Me

 Myra at Joy of Colourful  Cooking


I love to cook and experiment with new recipes. I use the Nutritarian Food Pyramid by Dr. Joel Fuhrman to plan my daily meals. 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatoid. This approach to eating helps keep me off arthritis medicine and helps keep the PR at bay.

My mission is to help others eat more whole food and plant-based meals. I am aiming to help children become educated in nutrition from an early age and to learn to cook nutritious food while they are young.


I do a cooking show on Acton Public Access TV (Massachusetts) called: The Joy of Colorful Cooking. The mission is to encourage more whole food plant-based meals, and also to expose children and their families to deserts that sweeten with fruit and dried fruit in place of sugar.

A Nutritarian Diet and MyPlate.gov

Children in K-12 classes are taught about nutrition from MyPlate.gov. 

The Nutritarian model is vastly different from this model. It has not been influenced by food lobbyists and the food industry. What is kept off of MyPlate.gov? 


MyPlate.gov does not state that foods like white bread and white rice act like sugar and can make weight control hard and raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It offers no indications that red meat and processed meats can be harmful to health and need to be limited. 


It does not distinguish between potatoes and other vegetables and does not mention that limited consumption of French fries and potatoes is best for optimum health. It does not encourage drinking water overdrinking of sugary drinks like sodas and fruit juices.


It does not stress the importance of limiting sugar and processed foods. It does not stress the importance of large amounts of raw vegetables and cooked vegetables. It does not stress the importance of exercise. Joy of Colorful Cooking eating is like a salmon swimming upstream as most food in supermarket, restaurants, and social gatherings are not high nutrients.


Read labels. Get whole foods, organic foods, buy non processed foods with few listed ingredients. Being smart about nutrition is important for your well-being. My wish for you is to become educated in nutrition to keep your body as healthy as it can be.
