Your low-carb healthy fat (LCHF) meal plan

The last thing you want is to jeopardise all your hard work by eating the wrong foods. So what’s for dinner, then? Don’t even think about it – you’ll have enough to focus on as you walk your way to a new you. We’ll tell you exactly what to eat every day and how to make it. 

The LCHF lifestyle focuses on keeping carbohydrates to a minimum, cutting out sugar, starch and chemically enhanced foods, and increasing your intake of whole foods, healthy saturated fats and nutrient-dense vegetables for sustainable weight loss. 

A few small things to take on board before you start:

  • There’s no alcohol in the first two weeks. If you don’t drink, you won’t have to deal with the ‘ah, what the hell’ factor (usually the last thing you think before you plough into a pile of carbs or sugar); also, you won’t wake up with a hangover demanding a doughnut to take it away.
  • Don’t go on a carb and sugar binge before you start because it means you’re starting with the wrong mindset (expecting to be deprived) and that you’ll have more weight to lose (and more health issues to resolve).
  • You’re going to go cold-turkey on the sugar But there will be plenty of delicious stuff to eat, so don’t worry about it too much – it will be much easier than you think!
  • Remember, LCHF is not a high-protein diet. It’s a healthy fat, medium-protein approach to eating and you’ll get plenty of non-starchy veggies. So yes, you can eat biltong – the fattier the better – but a kilo at a sitting? No. The same applies to your dinner meat portions; palm size is enough.
