Step 4: Substitute One Meal A Day with A Meal Replacement Food

Counting calories and CUDOs per The True Diet program is essential to lose weight. One way to reduce your Calories-In and to know how much you are ingesting is to replace one meal a day with a nutritious meal replacement formula. This can be accomplished in a variety of products, from a delicious protein shake to crunchy protein bars.

The True Diet program offers many modes for these meal replacements. These are essentially formulated to create a well balanced meal with fewer than 300 calories per meal, yet providing you with a high amount of protein to help you build those muscles.

We pack our meal supplements with a nutritionally balanced formula of protein, adequate but low fat content, moderate carbohydrate for quick energy, and a high amount of fiber to help you get full.

By themselves, they can be equivalent to a well balanced meal. They are a convenient way of keeping track of the calories you ingest for that meal: they are written on the package label. They are easily recorded in your Daily Calorie Diary.

Why meal replacements? Because many people routinely eat one meal a day on the go. These convenience foods are easy to fix, to eat and run, or to eat on the run. Knowing how many calories you’re eating during this meal is easy (it’s listed on the product’s label). It is what people want, it’s filling, it’s tasty, and it’s satisfying.

It is probably better to eat a meal replacement shake for a quick meal than to go through a fast food restaurant and load up on the calories they sell. Our shakes are usually more nutrition, and they’re less expensive.

Shakes also provide a great means to creating variety in your meal replacements. You can add different fruits and flavors to the basic shake mix, which adds tremendous variety to your diet. Make you a banana delight, a strawberry sizzle, an orange pleasure, or a berry delicious concoction. The options are indefinite.

Adding fruit to the shakes also helps you eat your needed servings of fruit for the day to help increase your nutritional requirements even more. You can also add 1/8th to 1/4th a cup of oatmeal to the shake to increase the fiber. You have thus created a Heart Healthy meal that helps you lose weight and become healthier at the same time.
