Nutritional advice

When on the Slimming program, some good nutrition advice to pay attention to is to plan your Green days wisely.

While you definitely want to take advantage of the fact that you are allowed to have foods like pasta, rice, potatoes and bread, you don't want to overdue it or else you will find that your weight loss progresses at a very slow speed.

Going further with this nutrition advice, on the Green days be sure you are also still eating some vegetables as this will help to add more bulk to the meal without making the calories too extremely high.

When creating your meals, another piece of nutrition advice is to ensure that you do have some lean protein with every meal you eat. This will help to slow the release of the carbohydrates into the blood stream and therefore prevent swings in hunger that may be seen. When you eat a solid carbohydrate meal a great deal of insulin is secreted into the body and this could cause an extreme energy high followed closely by a drastic energy low. Avoiding this will not only help you stick with the program but also help to make you feel a lot better as well.

Definitely do make use of your Green days though as they can go a long ways to helping satisfy your cravings. Doing so will make the Original or Red days a lot more tolerable and since you will have replenished muscle glycogen levels, you will not see exercise performance suffering if you do engage regularly in moderate to intense physical activity.
