In the last four issues of ‘Get Fit For Life’ I’ve introduced you to the concept of supportive eating and covered the basics of eating to rev up your metabolism.

Ok, in part 5 of "Keys To Supportive Eating" I’m now going to give you a list of all the foods that should be included in your supportive eating plan.

The easiest way to make a supportive meal is to take a lean protein, starchy carb and fibrous carb and combine them into one supportive meal.

By taking one food item from each of the three groups you have endless combinations for making healthy supportive meals. One of my favourites is salmon, brown rice and broccoli.

Next issue I’m going to give you some recipes to help you get started with your supportive eating plan.
