Dieters everywhere have the same complaint: they are hungry all the time. Now, this revolutionary program, based on sound scientific principles, can help you lose weight safely, effectively and permanently without those gnawing pangs of hunger.
It is our purpose to teach neither low fat nor low carb. We want you to learn to choose and enjoy an adequate amount of the right fats and the right carbs. You will learn to enjoy foods that taste good, satisfy your appetite and keeps you full for longer. As a result, you can create the food plans that are best for you for short-term weight loss, long-term weight maintenance and improved health.
The Renewal program is not high or low anything, because it is based on balance, the very thing that your body needs to function at its best.
The eating plan incorporates real carbohydrates, not man-made, to prevent the energy highs and lows that can lead to bingeing; dietary fibre, to help you feel satisfied; essential fatty acids for a healthy heart and efficient metabolic functioning; plenty of water packed fruit and vegetables to ensure sufficient vitamin and mineral intake; and protein, essential for tissue repair, maintenance and growth.
Simply balance your plate with the right foods at every meal and snack and eat only adequate calories to feel full/satisfied, not stuffed and uncomfortable. The end result? Satiety and stable blood-sugar (glucose) levels throughout the.day.
There is no secret to weight management: Consume adequate calories and burn more in physical activities. You cannot lose weight without controlling calories. But you can control calories without feeling hungry. Feeling full and satisfied while eating foods you like is a critical component of our approach to weight management. Surprisingly, foods with a high water content have a big impact on satiety. You'll need to eat more foods that are naturally rich in water, such as fruits, vegetables, low-fat milk, cooked grains as well as lean meats, poultry, fish and beans. It also means eating more water-rich dishes: soups, stews, casseroles, pasta with vegetables and fruit based desserts.
To assist you in continuing with a healthy lifestyle, Renewal offers cooking classes, nutrition and wellness workshops and individual counselling.
Variety is the spice of life and the key to successful nutritional planning. We suggest that you should choose different foods from each food group daily and eat a variety. (And, no, chocolate is NOT a food group, in spite of what you may have heard).
