Diet Plans And Menus - The Minçavi Diet

Diet Plans And Menus - The Minçavi Diet:

The Minçavi Diet was invented in 1984 by Lyne Martineau. This diet was inspired by the Canadian Food Guide. It proposes five weight loss programs, varying from 1400 to 2000 calories daily. On your initial visit to a Minçavi center you will be assigned a program based on your sex, your age, your body mass index, and your level of physical activity. Your program may be adjusted in function of your weight loss. Here are some of the diet principles.

Put the accent on fruits and vegetables. Depending on your program, you will consume 4 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. But you are allowed to eat as many vegetables as you want. Dark green vegetables are considered the best. Eat 4 to 7 servings of good fats such as olive, canola, and walnut oil each day. Eat 3 to 7 servings of cereal products daily. Eat 90 to 150 grams (from 3 to 5 ounces) of protein daily including 2 to 4 servings of dairy products, and some meat or meat substitutes. Drink at least three glasses of soy beverages weekly. Eat fish, the best is fatty fish, at least twice a week. Keep a daily food consummation journal and bring it to meetings with professionals. Spend 30 to 60 minutes a day in athletic activities. Go to Minçavi meetings that are held once a week in some locations.
