I-mLean’s Healthy Diet is a type of eating pattern that involves replacing your regular dessert items with our products after your meal. I-mLean’s products are Nutrient-dense foods that are high in nutrients but relatively low in calories. I-mLean’s products are handmade, high in fiber and contain proteins which slow down your digestion and help you reduce cravings, the risk of overeating, and keep you full for longer periods of time. I-mLean’s products contain healthy nuts & seeds such as sunflower seeds, cashews, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, hazelnuts, and fruits such as apples & dates, and healthy omega 3 fats such as flaxseed and Chia seeds.
It is important to eat our products after your main meal. I-mLean’s line of products contains high levels of fiber & protein. Foods that are high in fiber and protein are particularly effective at helping you feel full and satisfied for longer periods of time. Protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates, which can help you feel full for longer, and fiber can also slow down the digestion process, keeping you feeling fuller for longer. This reduces the likelihood of experiencing cravings or hunger pangs that can lead to overeating. This can help support weight loss, especially if you are consuming fewer calories overall by avoiding snacking and sugary desserts which will lower your calorie intake and lead to deficit, which is necessary for weight loss. In addition, our foods are low glycemic (GI) Foods, which are more slowly digested and absorbed.
Consuming our products after the main meal can help you control portion sizes, prevent overeating, and snacking in between meals by keeping you satisfied in between your meals. This will help you to be less likely to reach for snacks or indulge in larger portions of a meal later in the day. By keeping you satisfied in between your meals you can avoid the urge to snack. When you snack frequently throughout the day, you tend to consume more calories than you need, which leads to weight gain over time. By avoiding snacks, you can reduce your calorie intake and create the desired calorie deficit.
By replacing regular sugary desserts with I-mLean’s line of products which contain the same balance of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats) as your main meal you can avoid an overproduction of insulin, leading to a drop in blood glucose levels, which can result in feelings of fatigue, weakness, and irritability. This is often referred to as a "sugar crash" or "sugar low." Additionally, regular sugary desserts are often high in calories and low in nutrients, which can contribute to feelings of sluggishness and fatigue. Consuming a lot of sugar can also cause inflammation in the body, which can further contribute to feelings of lethargy and fatigue.
Consuming our products after the main meal can also prolong the energy spike received from eating your meals. Since energy spikes from food comes from primarily carbohydrates, protein, and fats in your meals. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is used by the body for energy. Protein and fats also play important roles in providing energy. Protein helps build and repair tissues in the body and can be converted to glucose for energy if needed. Fats provide a concentrated source of energy and help the body absorb certain vitamins and minerals.
According to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the average calorie content of a meal in the US is approximately 1,200 calories. This works out to be approximately 3600 total calories per day.However, it's important to note that the actual number of calories in a meal can vary widely depending on the type and amount of food consumed. Fast food meals, for example, can often be 2000 calories.
There is strong scientific evidence to support that weight loss is a result of calorie deficit. When you consume fewer calories than your body burns through physical activity and other metabolic processes, your body will start to burn stored fat for energy, resulting in weight loss. Meta-analysis of 29 studies published in the International Journal of Obesity found that calorie restriction was the primary factor leading to weight loss, regardless of the type of diet or exercise regimen used. One such study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that overweight individuals who reduced their calorie intake by 500-1000 calories per day lost an average of 1-2 pounds per week over a period of six months. By implementing I-mLean’s healthy diet and reducing snacking & the empty calories of sugary desserts it is possible to reduce at least 500 calories or more per day.
