GUEST BLOG - Chef Dave - Week 1:Day 4 - Balance

Menu - Week 1 – Balanced Range

For this week we are looking at the Balanced Range of Foods, through all my menu’s and Recipe of the Week(s) I aim to be inclusive of the following dietary requirements.

·         Low Salt	·         1 (or more) of 5 a day
·         Low Fat	·         Vegetarian
·         Low Sugar	·         Reduced Fat
·         High Protein	·         Gluten Fee
·         Low Saturated Fat	·         Low Carb

*though please remember, you will be the best person to know if something is suitable for you.

Low-carb diets tend to get rid of excess water from the body. Because they lower insulin levels, the kidneys start shedding excess sodium.  This can mean weight-loss for many in the first few weeks.

 

I’ve tried to keep the menu’s simple to allow for a variety of tastes and dietary requirements, all are high in nutrition and packed full of flavour.
