A 7 day sample of a 1400 calorie plan is given below to assist you with your weight loss and healthy eating goals. This plan is based on having 5 – 6 small portions a day which will keep you satisfied and energetic enough to get through the day and lose weight effortlessly. Eating small frequent meals, helps to steady the glucose (blood sugar) supply in the blood stream, whilst 3 large meals a day will cause the rise and fall of blood sugar. Keeping the blood sugar levels under control is important, high sugar levels promote the production of the fat storage hormone insulin. Remember to consult your doctor before you undertake the 1400 calorie diet, as not all eating patterns are suitable for people with medical conditions.
