Portion sizes 

As seen on Sunrise, our portion sizes and allocation of food types may need reviewing.  Click here for an example of what your food plate should look like and what foods make up the essential food groups - protein, carbohydrates, good fats and vegetables.

 

The importance of protein

In order to maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day, you should eat protein at each meal (at least three times daily).  Particularly while trying to manage weight, it is important to consume sufficient protein to prevent loss of vital muscle tissue.

Foods that cause health issues
After several years in clinical practice, I have found that two major food groups are consistently related to health and weight management issues:  these are wheat and dairy.  Unfortunately, these important staples have been so modified over the past 50 years causing health issues for most of us.  fortunately, there are a range of options readily available which provide quality nutrients.

Learn how to eliminate wheat from your diet.

All too often the result of over-consumption of wheat and gluten, leads to significant digestive inflammation and bowel damage.  The prevalence of gluten intolerance is rising with more and more people,  especially children,  developing gluten intolerance.  For a basic list of foods to avoid if you, or a member of your family, are gluten intolerant click here.  Read more about which grains contain gluten.

Dr Gluten has an informative website and books offering helpful tips on preparing gluten meals and snacks.  Most mums struggle with finding healthy packed lunches for day care and schools.  When considering these options, remember to include fresh vegetables, fruit and good protein.  Go to www.drgluten.com
