A Guide to Meal Sequencing
When Taking medications to help with weight loss, one of the most important things you can do is Meal Sequencing. In this page we will talk about how this unlocks so much for weight loss nutritionally.
What is Meal Sequencing
Meal Sequencing is the order that we eat food. What do we eat first? By being strategic with the order that you eat your food in, you can actually have a huge impact on your weight loss goals!
Why Does Meal Sequencing Work?
Meal Sequencing works by prioritizing foods that will make you feel full while having important nutritional goals in mind. By prioritizing the foods that your body needs, you will take up more space in your gut with the good stuff. This leaves less room for unhealthy foods that work against your health and nutrition goals.
How Does Meal Sequencing Work?
Let’s say that you sit down for a meal. On your plate is broccoli, chicken, and pasta. There’s a cup of water to the side. If you start off eating the Pasta, well, you might not have enough room for the chicken and broccoli and water! So, instead, start off with the glass of water, then the broccoli for fiber, and then the chicken for protein. Now, when you go to eat the pasta, all of those other foods are taking up space! This will end up limiting how much of the pasta you eat.
This is especially important when you are on any weight-loss treatment. Getting adequate protein and fiber intake is critical! So start with the good stuff and crowd out the bad stuff!
Now, there is even more strategy here when you are on the weight loss treatments!
Chicken / Broccoli / Water are what make us feel full. When you add the weight loss treatments there is even more SYNERGY between them! You have the foods, water, and medications all making you feel full.
Now if you have the Pasta, you are going to eat so much less.
