A Life Plus is great for those following a keto diet (and really anyone with any type of dietary requirement from plant-based to an alkaline diet, and more).Ā
Perhaps the best thing about A Life Plus is the amount of customisation and control you have over your meals. A Life Plus is able to personalise the dishes to your goals, preferences and dietary needs by hand-cooking every one of your dishes to order using fresh, organic ingredients.
Before you purchase a Keto Meal Plan, A Life Plus calculates the number of calories, proteins and fats youāll need to achieve Ketosis and takes your health goals (e.g. weight loss) into account.
This includes personalising your dietary preferences (e.g. Vegetarian, no gluten), and removing ingredients you donāt like (e.g no fish, dairy) all the way to your individual calorie level requirements. (e.g. I donāt want to exceed 1200 calories).
There are over 60 keto dishes rotating in the meal plans with 2 new dishes added per week. A Life Plus delivers all across Australia, too.
