Everyone is unique and there is no magic diet that will suit everyone. As we are constantly bombarded with misleading diet-related information, it can be confusing to know whether to adopt a low-fat diet, low-carb diet, or whether to ignore it all. Our low carb diet will help resolve all of that.

Our lower-carb diet results in the most weight loss and provides many health benefits, while remaining a sustainable way of eating in the long term.

What is low-carb?

There is no official definition of a low carb diet however, there is different classifications. But a general overview is: cutting down on the amount of carbohydrates you eat to less than 100g a day. But low-carb eating shouldn’t be no-carb eating. Evidence proves that sticking to both a low-carb diet and a low-calorie diet is one of the most effective ways to lose weight quickly.

Our low-carb, high-protein, moderate fat meal plan cuts carbs while still meeting the recommended amount of fibre each day from fibre-rich fruits vegetables, like berries, broccoli and hearty spinach. You'll still see some traditional carbs in the plan, like legumes and sweet potato, because they are healthy foods that you don't need to fully exclude in order to eat low-carb.

Why choose low carb? 

When you avoid sugar and some starches, your blood sugar tends to stabilize and the levels of the fat-storing hormone insulin drop. This helps increase fat burning and may make you feel more satiated, thereby naturally reducing food intake and promoting weight loss. 

• We have four calorie options to choose from – 1200, 1500, 2000 and 2500. 
• We deliver daily – 4 meals each day, Breakfast, Lunch,  Snack and Dinner.

What is the difference between Keto & low carb?

Our Keto diet is a very low carb meal plan that includes as little as 20g of carbs per day. It is made of prominently high amounts of saturated fats and moderate amounts of protein. Eating our keto meal plan will put you in a state called ketosis.

Our low-carb meal plan is high in protein and includes no more than 100g of carbs in a day. It includes moderate amounts of fats found in animal and plant foods such as nuts, olive oil, butter, coconut oil, seeds, to name a few. Our low carb meal plan will not put you in ketosis.
