To function optimally, the body requires a large range of different nutrients. The aim of a good healthy diet is to provide the body with these nutrients and fuel it so that vital functions and systems can perform their roles under any circumstances whether it be daily chores, work or fitness performance.

​

Each different nutrient that exists in your diet has a unique role to play in the body yet interacts with all the other nutrients.

 

If any particular nutrient is lacking in the diet, it means that the essential function in the body will under-perform without the essential nutrients - carbohydrates, fats, protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals - and water as the body quickly slows down, and this is where most of the fashionable diets that advocate omitting certain food groups from the diet fall down. 

 

With the demands of modern life, eating a healthy, a nutritious balanced diet couldn't be more important than it is right now. 

​

We NEED to make more time for our health!!

​

To help you get back on track nutritionally I have put together a few example meal plans to help you structure your nutrition.

 

Feel free to follow these example meal plans, substitute foods you don’t like with foods that you do from the nutrition guidelines food table that can be found with every meal plan. And make full use of some of the recipes from here.

 

Where you see the word OPEN, this means enjoy a meal of your liking and where you see the word RECIPE, this means cook up a storm.

 

Ultimately I want to encourage you to think for yourself rather than rely on a meal plan. These plans are to merely guide you and give you some ideas and perhaps help you build some structure.
