@imanthenutritionist: TOP TIPS 👇 INCLUDED FOR WEIGHT LOSS I am a registered nutritionist & here is my simple step-by-step guide for building a healthy & balanced plate: 1. Half of your plate should be loaded with a variety of plants: fibre is abundant in plants and vital for optimum gut health, helps with satiety & hydration. A simple salad or steamed veggies will suffice. 2. Protein should cover just more than a quarter of your plate. Protein keeps you fuller for longer & helps you make a calorie saving because it’s more costly to digest. 3. Starchy carbs should cover just about 1/4 of your plate. Top tip for better weight management: starches aren’t necessary with every meal, only use them when you need more energy. 4. Drizzle with heart healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil to make your meal more filling. Top tip for better weight management: fat can be calorific, use in moderation. 5. Garnish with more plants for extra gut health benefits & to make your meal more beautiful & enticing. #howtobuildbalancedmeals #portioncontrol #healthyeating
