Low Carb Plant-Based Meal Plan
A 2,000 kcal week that cuts refined carbohydrate and keeps the plate plant-based. Use it for blood sugar, weight, or a vegan client who also wants fewer carbs. Edit it in Foodzilla.
The two ideas, in one week
Low carb means less refined and high-GI carbohydrate such as white bread and sugary food, and more protein and unsaturated fat.
Plant-based means whole plants: fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds, with little or no meat, dairy, or eggs.
What you get when you combine them
Whole plants, with carbohydrate held down. Reasons clients ask for this:
- 1. Weight. Less refined sugar and grain often steadies glucose and cuts extra calories.
- 2. Blood sugar. Many plants sit lower on the glycaemic index. Less carbohydrate on top of that flattens the curve, which is useful in diabetes or prediabetes.
- 3. Gut. Fibre from plants helps stools and the microbiome.
- 4. Variety. The week is still a full set of plant meals, not three repetitive plates.
- 5. Environment. Some clients want a smaller footprint.
- 6. Ethics. No animal products, if that is the brief.
- 7. Easy to edit for the person in front of you.
- 8. General use when there is no tighter medical diet.
