CARB & CALORIE CONCIOUS
This low carbohydrate and calorie-controlled meal plan can assist those wanting to slim down while still enjoying their food.
When it comes to weight loss, there is so much information out there that it is difficult to know which diet to follow. And if you’ve tried a few and haven’t managed to achieve your goals and maintain them, it is likely that you weren’t able to consistently eat that way for a long period of time.
A key aspect of losing weight and keeping the weight off, is to follow a meal plan that you enjoy and that keeps you feeling full enough to sustain this way of eating. Firstly, you need to know how many calories you need to maintain your current weight and then how many less you need to get to your goal weight over a certain period of time. By creating a gap or deficit between these two numbers, weight loss is achieved. Registered dietitians are nutrition experts that can help you determine your individual calorie and nutrient requirements, as these differ from person to person.
It is important to remember that slimming down takes time and lasting results don’t happen overnight. In fact, if they do, it is likely that they will be undone just as quickly. It is for this reason that you need to have a strategy that you are able to follow consistently without it being too difficult.
The quality of the foods you eat play a role in how full you feel, as well as your overall health and wellbeing. Ensuring that you include the right amount of veggies and fruit, which provide fibre and key nutrients and help provide volume to your meals, as well including sufficient lean protein, are good ways to help and leave you satisfied after your meals. The right amount of healthy fats can also contribute to satiety (that feeling of fullness). The type and amount of carbs you include are just as important, with high fibre, whole grains being the best to include.
Each meal in this meal plan has been made with this in mind, using whole foods and crafted for taste. The meals are higher in protein and made with healthy fats, in order to promote satiety. Calorie-controlled portions are designed to assist with weight management.
