Alongside the core principles in our nutrition guidelines, your clinician will give you a personalised food list designed to meet your unique goals and needs. We offer different lists to support a range of objectives, so it’s important to stick to the one recommended for you. Others in your group may have their own tailored guidance, which could be different from yours.
This low-fat food list guides you to eat less fat while still enjoying a wide range of healthy, nourishing foods, including some healthy fats still. Unlike other plans that balance nutrients differently, this one focuses reducing our intake of fat in order to reduce our calorie intake. You can still include some healthy fats and starchy carbohydrates, but it’s best to enjoy them in moderation to stay on track with your weight and health goals. Here are some benefits of a low-fat approach:
- Helps improve cholesterol levels and supports a healthy heart.
- Reduces calorie intake from fats, which can help with steady weight loss.
- May lower inflammation, which helps reduce the risk of long-term health conditions.
- Encourages filling meals with fibre and protein-rich foods, making it easier to manage your appetite and stick with your plan.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all plan; personal preferences and circumstances matter. Aim to create meals you enjoy that align with this food list and our guidelines. No food is off-limits, but some should be enjoyed in moderation to maintain balance and support metabolic health.
