Full Plate Living (FPL) is a free, virtual, research-based, experience-centered nutrition program that has been shown to improve health. Here, we describe self-reported outcomes using FPL and highlight four participant cases. A cross-sectional survey was emailed to all 59,410 FPL members. They were invited to share their experience with FPL and their health changes in a long form interview. Descriptive statistics were performed. The majority of the 459 respondents were engaged with FPL for at least one year, with 33% engaging for two years or more. Health improvements were reported by nearly 60% of participants, with 22% reporting weight loss\/maintenance, 13% increased energy, 9% better sleep, and 6% improved lab results. Four participants completed interviews as case studies and demonstrated an average weight loss of 33 pounds, a 3.3% drop in hemoglobin A1C, and reductions in liver function tests. Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides decreased on average by 55, 38, and 165 mg\/dL, respectively. We conclude that FPL is an evidence-based nutrition education program that is sustainable, adaptable, and effective in helping members lose weight and improve overall cardiometabolic health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15598276261475279","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]],"date-time":"2026-08-11T10:31:20Z","timestamp":1786444280000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Full Plate Living Evaluation and Case Series"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1917-0048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan P.","family":"Bonnet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ardmore Institute of Health"},{"name":"Department of Medicine and Division of Primary Care and Population Health, Stanford University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5315-1342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathan L.","family":"Holterman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ardmore Institute of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Hanus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ardmore Institute of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janet","family":"Calhoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ardmore Institute of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2806-7907","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven","family":"Mauro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ardmore Institute of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3930-797X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ron","family":"Stout","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ardmore Institute of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2018.0158"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007114520002330"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-publhealth-032013-182351"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_5_2","volume-title":"In Defense of Food: An Eater\u2019s Manifesto","author":"Pollan M","year":"2008","unstructured":"Pollan M.
