Our nutritionists will help you develop an eating plan and even come up with a shopping list to help you be successful.
Guidelines to follow when choosing a healthy diet plan:
• Drink plenty of water, strive for a gallon a day.
• No excess sugar. Eat foods with natural sugar in them like fresh fruit in moderation.
• No fried foods.
• No breaded foods.
• Make the switch to sugar free, and fat free condiments and drinks.
• Eat small meals every 3-4 hours. This will boost your metabolism, fuel your body throughout the day, and keep you satisfied from cravings.
• Plan your meals ahead of time. You are more likely to follow a routine diet, and make healthy snack choices when you can access those heathy foods right away.
• Eat at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, daily. If your protein intake is too low on a restricted-calorie diet, you’ll lose a lot of muscle in addition to any fat you’’re lucky enough to shed. A high protein intake will help you preserve lean mass during your dieting phase.
