Weight Loss Is About Eating Well, NOT Counting Calories
Weight loss diets tend to lock the dieter into a rigid plan that eliminates fats, carbohydrates, salt, or sugar. While, in reality, weight loss is more complex than that. Fats and carbohydrates are nutrients, but they’re not created equal. There are good carbs and bad carbs and the same goes for fat and sugar. Whichever diet you choose, the important thing is to understand how nutrients interact in the body and with each other. Simply eliminating carbohydrates or fat, will not result in healthy eating. But a balanced diet is one that includes all nutrients, but the best quality. Chose complex carbohydrates over simple ones; polyunsaturated fat from olive oil, avocados, and nuts, is healthier than saturated fat in bacon or eggs.
In addition to nutrition, a weight loss plan should take into account your gender, age, stage of life (menopause, post-menopause, pregnant, etc…), activity level, and most importantly your food preference and eating pattern. You can make it a lifestyle only if you enjoy what you eat.
A Customized Nutrition Plan Should:
- Identify your triggers by assessing your eating habits, favorite foods, and cravings
- Evaluate your symptoms
- Develop recipes that increase vitamins and minerals but reduce saturated fat and starches without sacrificing flavor
- Include a step-by-step meal plan
- Monitor progress regularly
- Provide solutions and answers when obstacles arise: travel, socializing, and the infamous plateau
Steady and Long Lasting Result
A healthy eating plan targets the entire body, not just pounds reduction. Food should taste good so you look forward to every meal. Eating should be a pleasant experience that doesn’t involved counting, weighing, or deprivation. The following results should be effortless.
Weight loss of 2 to 5 lbs in the first week, 2 lbs a week thereafter –– these results are common
- Appetite reduction
- Better sleep
- Reduction /elimination of inflammation
- Lower cholesterol and glucose
- Diabetes and heart disease prevention
No More Calorie Counting, Portion Control, or Yoyo Dieting
Unlike dietitians, clinical nutritionists look at all aspects of your health. How you eat, what you eat, how you feel after eating and even how you feel in the morning. This information helps to establish a profile of who you are as an “eater.” Working together, we discover problems that you’ve had for years and stopped noticing because it became a way of life for you. Finally, we develop a customized MicoRiche™ Diet specifically for you.
The bonus: all the foods in the program are ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT. Not all-you-can-eat “rabbit food”, but satisfying, and delicious stews, tacos, dips, desserts and more! Healthy food is fun, colorful, and as delicious as any other.
As we say in France, bon appetit!
