OUR FOOD
Our Doctors believe that food is medicine. What you eat significantly affects the process of your lifestyle change.
On average, across all plans, our meals contain 5 serves of grains per day, 6 serves of vegetables, below 10% saturated fat, less than 1000mg of sodium (RDI is 2000mg) and are slightly above requirements for protein to make very filling meals. They do not contain any preservatives, additives, emulsifiers, artificial colours or flavours.
Whether you choose to enjoy the Doc's Clean Eating Meals, the Doc's Family Dinners or are starting the Doc's Weight Loss Meals, you will receive the highest quality ingredients that we can source to help provide your body with the full spectrum of essential nutrients needed for health + vitality.
We offer nutritionally complete healthy balance, mediterranean, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, pescatarian and vegetarian menus that are filled with fresh, locally sourced and many organic ingredients that will help nourish the body and promote health and immunity. They are created using seasonal ingredients because it is better for you.
None of our food contains any preservatives, additives, flavours, colours, and emulsifiers and are diabetic friendly.
We encourage you to explore what foods serve your body, but enjoy crafting our meals with ingredients from all food groups. We are passionate about wholesome, balanced eating and do not pigeonhole our foods based on certain trends.
RAINBOW OF VEGETABLES
Only 6.8% of Aussies are consuming enough vegetables and our Doctors are on a mission to turn this around. Vegetables truly are nature’s nutritional powerhouses and are an excellent source of fibre, antioxidants and phytochemicals. We particularly love to amp up the leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables in our meals and our green juices are a great way to sneak them in! Broccoli, spinach, kale and Brussels sprouts are just some of the brassicas that feature on our menu; their ‘bitter’ taste simulates the liver and supercharges your health.
WHOLE GRAINS
We include a range of nutritious whole grains in our menus, including oats, brown rice, freekeh and many more.
GLUTEN FREE GRAINS
Our chefs love experimenting with a variety of gluten free grains, such as quinoa, millet, buckwheat and polenta. Quinoa is one of the only whole grains (along with amaranth) that contain all the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein and a good choice for vegans. It is also low GI and has double the protein of rice!
FREE RANGE EGGS
We proudly use only free range eggs in our recipes.
LOCALLY SOURCED MEAT & FISH
We are proud to cater for vegetarians and vegans. We are also firm believers in “meatless Mondays”; however, different people have differing needs and desires and we incorporate nutrient-dense animal protein for those who follow an omnivorous diet. Good-quality cuts of meat provide protein, B vitamins, iron and zinc, while fish is a rich source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.
PLANT PROTEIN
Legumes of all types feature on our menu and provide a rich source of plant protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. We especially love lentils as they are easier to digest, one of the lowest GI foods and one of the best plant sources of iron!
HEALTHY FATS
Fats play an essential role in our diet and when consumed in adequate amounts from whole food sources, they can help manage mood, maintain healthy skin and even assist with weight management. They are also crucial for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Our favourites include olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, salmon, nuts and seeds.
