Healthy Transformation - Balanced Meal Replacement offers a delicious and convenient way to get an appropriate macronutrient ratio to complement a high-protein, moderate-carbohydrate, modified Mediterranean low-calorie diet (LCD) plan.1,2
A balanced diet refers to a diet profile that consists of 40% of energy coming from dietary carbohydrates, 30% of energy coming from dietary protein, and the remaining 30% of energy coming from dietary fat. This macronutrient ratio resembles that of Mediterranean diets and is sometimes also known as a 40:30:30 eating plan.
Meal replacements are recommended for medically supervised weight loss plans and for long-term weight management.3-6 Talk to your healthcare practitioner about the balanced diet as part of the Healthy Tranformation program.
