TEMplate™Total Eating Management

The TEMplate System™ has been developed by Accredited Practising Dietitians, to help you stay focused, motivated and organized for healthy eating. It makes nutritious eating easy, without you having to think about it. The TEMplate System™ shows you how to select healthy combinations of food, in the right quantities, every day and at every meal. This ensures you achieve the correct daily balance of protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals.

It teaches you how to plan for success by:

• Preparing a healthy breakfast that will rev up your metabolism and provide plenty of energy to power your muscles and brain.
• Packing a healthy lunch and snack box so you can still eat the right portions of healthy food at work, home, school or on the run.
• Using the patented TEMplate™ disc to guide portion sizes for meals eaten at home, showing you the types of foods to include in the right quantities, to ensure that each meal has energy-controlled serving sizes from all the essential food groups.
• Showing you how to plan and manage additional food "extras" that can be eaten yet still allow you to achieve weight loss or weight maintenance.
• Using "activity blocks" to help you maintain a healthy body weight, increase your energy levels, reduce stress, improve cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and digestion.

TEMplate™ is adjustable

The TEMplate System™ can be personalised to your individual energy needs using the unique concept of discrete servings of "Extras". The appropriate number of “Extras” to add to your daily eating plan varies depending upon your age, gender, current body weight and whether you are looking for weight maintenance or weight loss.

The Template System™ teaches you that increasing your activity for the long term is achieved by starting slow, at a realistic level, and build up over time. "Activity blocks" allows you to maintain energy balance so you can enjoy treats and still maintain control of your weight.
