How do I get the most out my Nutrichef Meal Plan?

Below I've written out my ten best tips. Keep these up whilst you're on one of our plans and you will maximise the benefits of eating delicious, healthy Nutrichef food.

1 Start the day with some hot water and lemon. Lemon has a fantastic alkalising effect on your body and is a cleansing way to start the day.

2 Use a non-dairy milk such as Soya, Oat or Rice, many are fortified with calcium. Digesting milk is quite difficult for us and lactose intolerance is common.

3 Drink 2 litres of water a day, in between meals rather than with meals. Important for general health and wellbeing.

4 Use water instead of cooking oil when heating food in a pan or wok. Just cutting out unnecessary oil will help.

5 Cut down on coffee, tea and soft drinks (gradually, to avoid unpleasant withdrawal symptoms - if you normally drink a lot) replace with water, feel the effects.

6 Limit yourself to alcohol at weekends only, alcoholic drinks really are empty calories.

7 Make at least 30 minutes of exercise part of your daily routine - not just when you're on a meal plan. Exercise is essential for general health and actually improves the way we think.

8 If you need a snack between meals, the best ones are fruit (apples and pineapple are great), nuts and seeds, carrot or celery sticks or a Nutrichef Flapjack.

9 Whenever you change your diet you will find fluctuations in your appetite, before you eat anything extra ask, "am I hungry or thirsty?"

10 Enjoy the experience!

    Detox Diets and Cleansing

    Our body handles toxins by neutralising them, transforming them into something harmless or eliminating them all together. We try to cough up toxins that we breathe, while those landing on our skin may be washed away by sweat. Toxins in our food are dealt with by the liver, gallbladder and colon, while those that dare to enter us in liquid form may be partially flushed out by the liver, kidneys and bladder.
