THE POWER OF HEALTH

By YASMIN HARAKE

With four packages and one mission, Fiber is all about eating well - and feeling even better.

W

ith errands to run and families to feed, it’s not hard to forget to look after ourselves from time to time. If you’re working from 9 to 5 and have little ones to get home to, a little help goes a long way. Allow us to introduce Fiber, a unique and innovative dining experience that has your health at number one on its list of priorities.

Providing meals that are both delicious and nourishing, Fiber offers different healthy-eating packages that are catered to your specific

needs and requirements - and they are all prepared and managed by the in-house Dietician. With many of us taking the time and making the effort to perfect how we look on the outside, it’s time to think about looking after ourselves on the inside. Fiber prides itself on its healthy outlook on food, emphasising that it’s not all about looking good – it’s about feeling even better.

We caught up with founders of Fiber, Nasser and Reem Youssef, to find out more about their mission to make Beirut a healthier, happier city.

1.THE LOCALO

The low calorie package is a healthy way to count calories and manage your diet. It includes breakfast, lunch and dinner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as snacks. Whilst the breakfast and lunch meals have normal levels of carbohydrates and are high in protein, the dinners are much lower in carbohydrates.

2.THE CARLO 2

Including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, the low-carb package allows you to monitor your intake of carbohydrates. The breakfast is higher in protein with a regular amount of carbohydrates, however the meals for lunch and dinner are high in protein but contain fewer carbohydrates.

Snacks included in the carlo package are high in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.

3.THE VEGO 3

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are included in the vegetarian package.

This meal plan is all about healthy eating and maintaining a balanced diet for those with a vegetarian preference. All meals are high in protein and contain a normal level of carbohydrates.

The snacks included in the localo, carlo and vego packages are full of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, such as green juices, fresh juices and healthy desserts.

4.THE FIPRO 4

The high protein package offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. This package is made specifically for people who wish to increase their protein intake, meaning high levels of protein across all meals, and normal amounts of carbohydrates. The snacks included in this package are also high in protein, and include shakes, protein pancakes and a protein cookie.

Fiber serves up a unique cuisine of natural and organic ingredients wherever possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a wide range of delicacies, salads, burgers and sandwiches. The packages offered by Fiber are different for men and women, and the utmost care is taken to ensure you are following the plan that is right for you.
