The Eating Plan is based on eating a balance of carbohydrates and proteins with each meal. Carbohydrates are a very important source of energy for the body. However, eating high carbohydrate meals, which are low in protein can stimulate your appetite and can also cause unfavourable mood swings. Protein on the other hand helps to control your appetite, provides sable energy levels, maintains a strong immune system and also help stabalise insulin levels.

Always choose lean pieces, do not eat the skin and always boil or grill the meat.
Milk products such as skim milk, soy milk or rice milk and low fat yoghurt.

Recommended Carbohydrate Foods
Carbohydrates are a very important fuel source for the body, however when you eat more carbohydrates than your daily requirements (and most of us do), the extra calories are stockpiled as body fat. By making a few minor dietary changes you can get reverse this process and convert excess body fat into energy.
We recommend you eat small to moderate amounts of carbohydrates before 3.00pm or 5-6 hours before retiring.
Best carbohydrate foods to have are:
All whole grains such as rolled oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, linseed meal and millet.
Have moderate amounts of potatoes, sweet potatoes, wholemeal pasta and brown rice as these are good sources of carbohydrates.
Wholemeal breads, fruits and most vegetables.
