When it comes to weight loss, everyone is different. For some it\u2019s about eating less to maintain an ideal weight and for others it\u2019s about losing a few pounds in order to feel great again. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know finding that perfect balance of exercise and healthy eating can be tough, especially when we\u2019re bombarded with promises of miracle cures. Or we\u2019re told that healthy food can\u2019t be tasty – no one should exist on sad lettuce leaves and half an apple a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Mindful Chef, we know weight loss doesn\u2019t have to be hard (or taste like gruel) when you can lose weight – or maintain – while feeling healthy, not hungry. It\u2019s about getting the right nutrition – and the right balance your body needs. Low calorie meals with high nutritional value are key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for that you need the right protein to fill you up, good carbs with slow-release energy to power you through your days and the freshest ingredients so your body doesn\u2019t just get fuel, it gets vitamins and minerals from the calories you take in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what makes a good weight loss meal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not always about eating less, it\u2019s also about eating the right foods. We can all be tempted by the wrong food choices when we\u2019re busy, tired or just really, really empty. The trick to a good weight loss meal is to know what\u2019s good for your body and what gives you those slumps, crashes and cravings that send us running to the biscuit tin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
