Flexible Low-Carb
A broad, adaptable approach that reduces refined carbs while leaving room to adjust.
Flexible low-carb is less about hitting a perfect number and more about improving the shape of your everyday meals. You keep the foods that work for you, reduce the ones that leave you hungry or craving more, and learn from how you feel.
Three ideas to keep in view
- 01
Build meals around protein, vegetables and satisfying fats
- 02
Reduce sugary drinks, sweets and heavily refined starches first
- 03
Choose a carb level you can live with, then adjust gradually
Build from familiar ingredients
- Eggs, fish, chicken, meat or tofu
- Non-starchy vegetables and salads
- Greek yoghurt, cheese, nuts and seeds
- Berries, beans or modest portions of whole-food starches
