&#x1FA78; Can I Donate Blood While on the New You Plan? Donating blood is a generous and life-saving act. However, if you are currently following a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD), such as the New You Plan, there are a few important things to consider before making a donation.<hr>&#x26A0;&#xFE0F; Our Recommendation It is generally not recommended to donate blood while on a VLCD due to the low calorie intake.&#x2705; To donate safely:<ul><li>Come off the plan for at least one week before your donation</li><li>Increase your daily calorie intake to a minimum of 1200 calories during this time</li></ul>This helps to support your body&#x2019;s energy needs and ensures a safe donation and recovery process.<hr>&#x1F966; Preparing to Donate Blood The Blood Service recommends including iron-rich foods in your diet for the week leading up to your donation. This helps maintain healthy haemoglobin levels and reduces the risk of anaemia.&#x2705; During your preparation week:<ul><li>Include foods rich in iron, such as red meat, leafy greens, lentils or fortified cereals</li><li>Pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C (like oranges or peppers) to enhance absorption</li><li>Stay well hydrated and eat balanced meals throughout the day</li></ul><hr>&#x1F4AA; Why Iron and Calories Matter Although New You Plan products are fortified with iron, the body absorbs iron more effectively from whole foods. Meeting the Blood Service&#x2019;s haemoglobin requirements is essential for donation eligibility.Additionally, your body needs extra energy to replace the blood that is donated. A VLCD may not provide enough calories for a smooth recovery, which can increase the risk of:<ul><li>Dizziness or light-headedness</li><li>Fatigue</li><li>Slower recovery time</li></ul><hr>&#x1F49B; Putting Your Health First Your health and well-being are our top priority. If you would like to donate blood, we fully support your decision, but please ensure you adjust your plan safely and give your body the care it needs.<hr>&#x1F4AC; Need Help Adjusting Your Plan?

Should I take an extra product if I'm exercising?

&#x1F3C3;&#x200D;&#x2640;&#xFE0F; Should I Take an Extra Product If I Am Exercising? Exercise can be a fantastic way to lift your mood, boost your motivation and support your transformation. However, when following a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD), it is important to approach exercise carefully, especially in the early stages of the plan.<hr>&#x1F4A1; Exercise Guidelines for Your New You Journey&#x1F5D3;&#xFE0F; Weeks 1 and 2 We recommend avoiding continuous or strenuous exercise during the first two weeks of your plan. This gives your body time to adjust to a lower calorie intake and helps prevent tiredness or your body entering conservation mode.&#x2705; Instead, focus on light movement such as walking, gentle stretching or relaxed yoga sessions.<hr>&#x1F4AA; Exercise Days: What to Do&#x1F964; Add an Extra Product On the days you choose to exercise, we advise adding one extra New You product to your day. This helps fuel your activity and ensures your body receives the nutrition it needs to perform and recover.Our protein-rich shakes are a great option for exercise days, giving your body the support it needs without disrupting your progress.&#x1F36B; Support Recovery with a Snack After your workout, you can also enjoy a high protein snack, such as our protein wafers.
