What is a balanced diet?

Thanks to the media and commercial weight loss companies many people are totally confused about what is a ‘balanced diet’.  This is one of the main reasons why we started Homemade.

The bulk of medical evidence and research supports a simple common sense notion of a balanced diet.  We do not subscribe to a particular school of thought, but the simplest model promotes a diet, which roughly includes:

-       ½ - About half of everything that goes into your mouth: Fresh and cooked fruit and vegetables;

-       ¼ - Whole grains like whole wheat, brown rice, sweet potato

-       ¼ - Proteins like meat, fish, dairy, tofu, beans, nuts and seeds.

At Homemade, we make it really easy for you to eat a balanced diet for optimum health because we cook up a week's worth of nutritionally balanced meals at each session for you to take home and enjoy during the week - so you don't have to think, measure and calculate any more.  You just open the fridge, choose a meal and know that you are eating for optimum health and sustainable weight loss.
