Getting Started |
|
What weight loss solutions do you currently offer? We have developed a nutrition solution no matter what your goal is; from weight loss to gaining muscle or simply maintaining every day health. |
|
How are the meal plans personalised to my health goals? The My Muscle Chef Weight Loss Program offers an option of selecting a 5 or 7 day meal plan. Our Fixed Starter Plan is a set 1200 calorie for females and 1500 calorie for males. Our Complete Personalised Program offers a more personalised approach to weight loss based on your activity levels each day. Design a plan or let us design one for you which is tailored to your lifestyle and offers you a flexible approach to weight loss. As we believe sustainable weight loss is not a 'one size fits all' approach. |
|
What if I have an active subscription to another MYMC Meal Plan? If you have a current MYMC subscription, this be overwritten by the new Weight Loss Program subscription when you register. If you still want to order MYMC before the program starts you can place one-time orders, otherwise if you create a new subscription this will overwrite your Weight Loss Program. If you do need to pause your subscription orders, you can do so via your online account, via the app, or by contacting our Customer Support Team at 1300 364 993 or via the help link on our contact us page |
|
What food do I receive as part of the program? Our program offers menu items which have been specially selected by our team of Dietitians along with exclusive products which are tailor made for weight loss. These are a combination of high protein meals and drinks, whole food snacks and sweet treats to help you achieve sustainable weight loss and take care of cravings late at night. |
|
Can I add extra MYMC snacks to my order when on the program? We provide you with all the meals and snacks you require, however if you're looking for a little more we recommend to add fresh options such as fruit and vegetables to your daily meal plan. This could include an additional piece of fruit as a snack or with a main meal, or add a side salad, steamed vegetables or stir-fried greens to your main meals. |

Weight Loss |
|
How much weight will I lose on the MYMC Weight Loss Program? Our team of dietitians suggest 0.5-1.0kg of weight loss per week is a healthy way to lose weight and our programs are designed to support you through your weight loss journey. Our programs are designed to support you, ensuring you are guided through the ups and downs of trying to lose weight. |
|
What if I am still hungry? Our team of dietitians have specifically designed a menu which is high in protein to keep you feeling fuller for longer. We encourage you to add non-starchy vegetables to each meal to ensure you reach your fibre goals and to keep you feeling full and satisfied. We've also provided you with a suggested list of add-ons based on your remaining calories for the day to allow you to have a flexible approach to weight loss. |
|
Can I swap around breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack items? On our Personalised plan you have the ability to customise your meals and choose between a variety of snack bundle options depending on our activity level for each day. On our Starter Plan, we have designed a program to meet your set daily calories (1200 calories for females and 1500 calories for males), therefore we recommend following the program provided as it has been designed for best results. |
|
Can I add extra foods to my meals? We always encourage healthy eating and there's nothing healthier than adding fresh non-starchy vegetables which are rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre to each meal. In addition to this, your personalised dashboard will display your remaining calories for the day, so if you wish to add additional food into your daily intake we have done the thinking for you and have suggested some add-ons to help guide you through what a tailored and flexible approach to weight loss really is. |
|
Can I still eat out once or twice a week? Yes you can still eat out! Having balance between your meal plan and enjoying a social meal out with friends or family is part of long-term sustainable eating. It teaches you how to enjoy your food and have balance in your life which will enable you to maintain long-term results. Between eating out and your meal plan, it is still important you keep to the structure of your plan and remain consistent around the day you eat out to get the best results from the program. |
|
Can I drink alcohol? Yes you can still drink alcohol. Moderation is important, and so is knowing how to choose drinks that will have the least impact on your weight loss goals. Alcohol is calorie dense, so if you choose to have a few drinks, make sure to include this in your calorie budget for the day to ensure you stay within your calorie total for the day. |
|
Is this program suitable for me if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy! During this joyous time we recommend to navigate through our wider menu to ensure you are consuming enough calories to assist you during this time. If you are a breastfeeding mum, we understand life can get crazy. We offer a higher calorie option to ensure you are getting enough nutrients and calories whilst still having the ability to join our Weight Loss Program. |
|
Will I need to exercise whilst on the program? If you are on our Complete Personalised Weight Loss Program, exercise is highly recommended to achieve best results. We recommend completing a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate to intense exercise each day. For example, this could include a 30 minute walk, a gym session or a home workout. If you are on our Fixed Starter plan, we do not recommend completing intense physical activity but rather take the time to focus on your health and wellbeing. This is due to this plan being a lower calorie plan. |
|
Will I need to take any additional supplements whilst on the program? No, the MYMC Weight Loss Program will provide you with all your meals and snacks to meet your daily requirements. If you are currently on any additional medication please consult your medical practitioner for advice. |
