🥗 Eating Well on the New You Switch Plan

The New You Switch Plan gives you the flexibility to enjoy conventional food alongside your New You Total Food Replacement (TFR) products, while still working towards your weight loss or maintenance goals.

To get the best results, it’s important to choose nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods that complement your New You products and support your health.


What to Aim For

  • High in protein – to keep you full and support muscle
  • Rich in vegetables – for fibre, vitamins, and volume
  • Low in sugar and processed carbs – to reduce cravings and maintain energy
  • Portion-controlled healthy fats and whole grains

🥩 Ideal Protein Sources

Choose lean, high-quality proteins to keep you satisfied:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey breast
  • White fish (cod, haddock, tilapia)
  • Salmon or prawns (in moderation)
  • Tofu or tempeh
  • Eggs
  • Low-fat cottage cheese
  • Lentils, chickpeas, black beans
  • Lean beef or lamb (small portions)

🥦 Vegetables to Load Up On

Vegetables are your best friend on the Switch Plan! Choose a variety of colours and textures:

  • Leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, kale, rocket)
  • Cruciferous veg (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts)
  • Courgettes, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms
  • Green beans, asparagus, cabbage
  • Cucumber, celery, radishes (great for crunch)
  • Steamed, roasted, grilled, or raw — variety is key!

🌾 Smart Carb Choices (in moderation)

Carbs can be included on Nourish Days, but keep portions small and stick to whole-food sources:

  • Brown rice or wild rice
  • Quinoa
  • Oats
  • Sweet potato
  • Whole grain crackers or wraps (small amounts)

🥑 Healthy Fats (used sparingly)

Fats are high in calories, so even healthy ones should be portion-controlled:

  • Avocado
  • Olive oil (1 tsp in cooking or on salad)
  • Nuts and seeds (small handful)
  • Nut butters (1 tsp)

Foods to Limit or Avoid

To stay on track and support your goals, try to limit or avoid:

  • Fried foods
  • Creamy sauces or dressings
  • White bread, pasta, pastries
  • Sugary snacks and desserts
  • Soft drinks and alcohol
  • Processed meats (sausages, bacon, salami)
