Meal Plan for People Who Have Been Using Too Many Drugs

You Are What You Eat –

July 18, 2019 – I am a public health major who has been working with injection drug users and people with substance use disorders for nearly the last 10 years.

As such, I decided that I would investigate and create a plan of my own based on the current research available.

I chose to encourage the consumption of whole foods and limit intake of processed or pre-prepared foods. The population that I serve sometimes does not have access to a kitchen or stove. I wanted to create a plan where foods could be easily accessible and consumed either together or separately, without losing their nutritional integrity.
