- Increase or decrease the portion sizes: If you are feeling hungry or unsatisfied with the portion sizes provided, you can try increasing the size of your servings. On the other hand, if you find that the portions are too large or you are not losing weight at the desired rate, you can try decreasing the size of your servings.
- Add or subtract snacks: If you need additional snack options to keep you satisfied between meals, you can try adding in additional healthy snacks such as a small handful of nuts or a piece of fruit. On the other hand, if you find that you are not hungry enough to finish all of the snacks provided, you can try skipping some of them or reducing their size.
- Add or subtract ingredients: If you prefer a different type of protein or vegetable, you can try swapping out the ingredients listed in the meal plan for ones that you prefer. Just be sure to choose options that are consistent with the overall goal of the meal plan, which is to provide a balanced and nutritious diet that is low in calories and high in protein.
There are many ways to add flavour to your meals without adding calories. Some options include using herbs and spices, citrus juices, vinegar, and low-calorie condiments such as salsa or hot sauce. You can also try using flavourful ingredients like garlic, ginger, and onions to add depth and dimension to your meals.
It is generally recommended that adult women aim for at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water per day to stay hydrated. This can vary based on factors such as age, size, activity level, and climate. If you are exercising or engaging in other activities that cause you to sweat heavily, you may need to increase your water intake to stay hydrated. It is a good idea to pay attention to your thirst levels and drink water throughout the day to meet your hydration needs.
