A Word from the Senior Dietitian

Dear Client,
Everyone has a different metabolism, and so everyone will need a different eating plan most suited to their type of metabolism, and a different number of servings from each food group. This introduction booklet from Menuconcepts Pty Ltd Correspondence Low GI, Lifestyle, Weight Loss Program will enable you to choose the metabolism type and weight loss plan that most closely represents you. Read step 1 and you will learn about which metabolism type and which low GI weight loss program you should start following.

This introduction booklet will also teach you how to understand and follow your low GI lifestyle weight loss plan, and how to add variety to ensure it becomes your way if life, so you can follow it forever and maintain your new goal weight.

It is important to be involved in regular exercise to maximise your success on your weight loss journey. Remember to include plenty of free non starchy vegetables and other free foods to fill you up (see free food list later), and drink at least 2 litres of water per day.

Focus on how you clothes feel and what your measurements are doing, along with the scales. Remember success is not just about the scales reducing.

You may need to adjust your plan if you find your weight loss is too slow (remember though that as long as your weight &/or measurements are moving down then your succeeding). Some body types can only loose slowly, due to genetic makeup and a slower basal metabolic rate e.g. if your father or mother have struggled to loose weight and find they gain easily, or if you are short, or over the age of 50.

I highly recommend that when you start your Menuconcepts Pty Ltd, low GI, lifestyle weight loss program, that your get additional support, guidance and motivation from one of the qualified dietitians from www.menuconcepts.com.au Menuconcepts Pty Ltd, to maximise your success. We all need support and your dietitian can answer questions, and will help you through the good and the tough times. See our email correspondence dietitian support package information.
