For someone trying to lose weight, the goal is not to remove carbohydrates. The goal is to use them strategically. Choose mostly nutrient-rich sources, control portions, and combine them with protein and fibre to stay full.

Our guide will help you build a sustainable approach to weight loss. 

Available now in bio.👌🏾

A typical day could look like this:
🌅 Breakfast
Carbohydrate:
Oats / wholegrain bread / fruit
Example:
🥣 Porridge oats + berries/banana + Greek yoghurt or eggs + nuts/seeds
Why?
Oats = slow-digesting starch + fibre
Fruit = natural sugar + fibre
Protein helps fullness and protects muscle during weight loss
☀️ Lunch
Carbohydrate:
Beans, sweet potato, brown rice, wholegrain wrap, plantain (portion controlled)
Example:
🍚 Rice + beans + grilled fish/chicken + vegetables
Starchy carbohydrates provide energy
Fibre from vegetables/beans helps keep you satisfied
🌙 Dinner
Carbohydrate:
Example:
🍠 Small portion of yam, plantain, cassava, rice or potatoes
protein (fish, chicken, eggs, tofu)
plenty of vegetables
Snacks (if needed)

A simple plate guide:
🥦 ½ plate: vegetables/fibre-rich foods
🍗 ¼ plate: protein
🍚 ¼ plate: starchy carbohydrates
You don’t need to give up the foods you grew up with to lose weight.
