Greetings from Carole Taylor ... your Weekly Update ~ March 4

 

On Shake Days, you replace two meals with an IsaLean Shake and enjoy a nutritionally balanced third meal. How you fill your plate for your third meal is an important part of reaching your wellbeing goals.

A healthful, balanced meal includes a variety of foods that provide your body with essential nutrients in the right proportions.

Choosing foods you enjoy is just as important as planning portion sizes that provide the right amount of calories for you. For most people with a weight loss or weight maintenance goal, 400-600 calories are right on target.

Some people may need more calories, depending on personal factors, like how active you are, or your individual wellbeing goals.

Vegan, vegetarian or omnivore ~ all types of third meal planning follow the same four basic steps.

 

1 - Pick a Lean Protein

Providing your body with a quality source of protein at each meal will help you feel satisfied longer while supporting muscle growth and metabolism.

Pick four to six ounces of your preferred lean protein like fish, chicken, eggs, or beef. Vegetarian options include beans, lentils, split peas and chickpeas.

 

2 - Add Healthy Carbs

Your body needs complex carbohydrates to provide a steady source of energy. The best options are also high in dietary fiber to help you feel full.

Aim for a ½ cup portion or about a quarter of your plate. Whole grains such as quinoa or brown rice or starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes are great options.

 

3 - Fruits & Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables make up the biggest part of a nourishing meal and are sources of many essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Extensive research shows that people who eat more fruits and vegetables live longer and healthier lives. Filling your plate with vegetables not only has impressive nutritional benefits but also helps to make a meal more satisfying.

 

4 - Good Fats

Good fats are an important part of any meal. Mono and polyunsaturated fats are the good fats that are found in foods like olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocado.

Good fats contribute to overall health and wellbeing and are a source of essential fatty acids.

Adding a little fat to your meal can keep you feeling satisfied and can aid in the absorption of certain vitamins, including A, D, E, and K.

Starting a busy week without a plan in place can often derail your best intentions. The same goes for your weight loss and wellness goals on a Shake Day.

Planning meals in advance takes the stress out of trying to decide what’s for dinner every night and will end the temptation for takeout when you’re feeling tired at the end of a long day.
