Why adopt a nutritional rebalancing meal?

A nutritional rebalancing meal aims to provide all the essential nutrients to the body while promoting satiety and avoiding deficiencies. This type of meal is particularly recommended for:

• Lose weight sustainably and without the yoyo effect
• Improve your general health (prevention of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, digestive disorders, etc.)
• Adopt better eating habits for yourself and your family
• Reduce the risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Support regular physical activity and optimize performance

A nutritional rebalancing meal must be varied, balanced and tasty to guarantee long-term adherence.

Understanding dietary rebalancing

Dietary rebalancing consists of reviewing your eating habits to adopt a healthier and more balanced diet. It is not a restrictive diet, but rather a process aimed at learning to eat well to be healthier. Here are some key principles to follow when rebalancing your diet:

1. Eat variety: It is important to consume all food groups (fruits and vegetables, whole grains, proteins, dairy products) to provide all the nutrients necessary for your body.
2. Choose minimally processed foods: choose raw products as much as possible and avoid industrially prepared meals that are often high in salt, sugar and poor quality fats.
3. Limit portions: Adapt the quantities to your level of physical activity and your energy needs.
4. Eat at regular times: this allows you to better regulate your appetite and avoid cravings or snacking.

Food rebalancing meal ideas for lunch and dinner

Lunch meals: favor proteins, vegetables and complex carbohydrates

A typical meal to rebalance your diet for lunch can consist of:

1. A source of protein (meat, fish, eggs, tofu, legumes, etc.)
2. One or more cooked and/or raw vegetables, favoring green and colorful vegetables
3. A portion of complex carbohydrates (brown rice, quinoa, whole-wheat pasta, potatoes, whole-wheat bread, etc.)
4. A little quality fat (olive oil, rapeseed oil, avocado, oilseeds, etc.)

Example of lunch menu:

• Salad made with grilled chicken, lentils, crunchy vegetables and rapeseed oil vinaigrette

1. Favor light proteins (white fish, shellfish, poultry, eggs, tofu, etc.)
2. Consume a wide variety of cooked and/or raw vegetables
3. Include fiber to promote intestinal transit and satiety (legumes, whole grains, green vegetables, etc.)
4. Limit fats and simple carbohydrates (sugar, pastries, fried foods, etc.)

• Homemade vegetable soup with some diced ham and grated cheese
• Salmon tartare with fresh herbs, quinoa salad and crunchy vegetables
