Health Eating - Have You Got it Right?
The key to good nutrition is good preparation! You may have sufficient knowledge of healthy foods; however it is the structure of your eating habits that also plays an integral part to good nutritional preparation. There are a number of factors that may influence your level of success; whether your goal is to make a fresh start with your eating habits or just to shed those last few stubborn pounds, the following factors could impact your progression:
- Sleeping pattern
- Breakfast choice
- Snacks
- Meal/snack timing
- Fluid intake (including alcohol!)
- How food is prepared
- How food is cooked
- Your metabolic rate
There are more potential aspects that may influence your weight gain/loss, with many being very specific to the individual. At vitality we can offer a personalised nutritional plan that will give you the guidance you may need. Unfortunately there are a number of healthy eating myths that exist, so here at Vitality we aim to provide advice based on up-to-date scientific studies to ensure those myths are put to rest. An example of a daily nutritional structure you should follow if you are interested in eating well is as follows:
BREAKFAST (09:00) – Weetabix, milk, chopped banana + pint of water
SNACK 1 (11:30) – Chopped apple, handful of grapes + glass of water
MEAL 1 (14:00) – Grilled chicken, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, sweet-potato + glass of water
SNACK 2 (16:30) – Selection of berries (strawberry, raspberry, etc), low fat honey yogurt + dry oats
MEAL 2 (19:00) – Baked potato, tuna mixed with low fat mayo and paprika spice, side salad + water
The above is just a rough guideline for the ‘average person’, but for obvious reasons different people require different directions. For just £10 you could get your hands on your tailor-made nutrition plan that is also specific to your nutritional goal. Plans available include: weight loss meal plans; body building meal plans; strength gain meal plans; weight maintenance meal plans and many more.
