Healthy Weight Loss

Weight loss doesn't have to be an overwhelming goal. With Healthy Heart Meals you can lose weight while eating real food. Our plan provides you with the right combination of the right kind of foods in the right proportions.

We use fresh, wholesome ingredients in our nutritionally balanced plan, so you won't feel hungry or deprived. Healthy Heart Meals is not a fad diet -- it's healthy living. Our six-week rotating menu provides a wide selection of fresh, delicious meals so you won't get bored!

The Right Way To Eat

The most credible research indicates that a balanced diet low in fat and sodium and rich in fresh vegetables and fruits is an excellent, healthy way to eat. "Fad" diets can produce an initial weight loss but most are far too restrictive or complicated to maintain any long-term success. In fact, research indicates that the most successful long term weight loss strategies involve portion control.

The Healthy Heart Meals program follows the parameters of the Canada Food Guide which was established by leading health and nutrition experts in the country.

The bottom line in weight loss is simple: calories in vs. calories out. Successful weight loss requires that you take in fewer calories than you use. Eating a healthy, balanced diet combined with moderate exercise is the most effective way to lose weight.

Staying Healthy

All Healthy Heart meals are prepared using the nutritional guidelines from Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating. If you or someone you know has any of the following medical conditions and need to change eating habits, Healthy Heart Meals is just what the doctor ordered. All our meals are low in sodium and saturated fat.

Diabetes

A proper diet is one of the key elements that can help keep blood sugar and diabetes under control. With the Healthy Heart Meals plan, you always receive calorie-controlled meals that are nutritionally balanced. For more information about the role diet can play in controlling diabetes, visit the Canadian Diabetes Association website at www.diabetes.ca.

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in all animal tissues including meat, fish, poultry, egg yolk and dairy products. If you consume too much cholesterol, (easy to do if you don't pay attention to what you eat), it will deposit in your arteries. This causes your arteries to become narrow and clogged, putting you at risk for a heart attack and other forms of heart disease.

The Healthy Heart Meals program is low in saturated fat and cholesterol -- the perfect combination for a heart-healthy diet. Visit the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada's website at www.heartandstroke.ca for information about reducing dietary cholesterol.

High Blood Pressure/Heart Problems

The Healthy Heart Meals program is sodium restricted, calorie controlled and low in saturated fat. The combination of weight loss and sodium-restricted meals may help lower blood pressure and decrease heart problems. Lower saturated fat may mean a reduction in the risk of heart disease.
