The Maintenance Plan at a glance

Ease back to eating — without undoing your hard work.

2×

Gentle stages

Step down from meal replacements to regular meals over a planned transition.

3–4 wks

Per stage

Give your body time to adapt — at least three to four weeks at each stage.

1–2 /day

Meal replacements

Taper from two a day to one as your home-cooked meals take over.

2 Litres

Fluid a day

Keep hydration up throughout — water, herbal tea or sugar-free squash.

Made for this moment

For everyone who's reached their goal — and wants to stay there.

The hardest part of any diet is what comes after. Maintenance eases you off meal replacements and back into everyday eating gradually, so your body adapts and the weight stays off.

Hit your goal

You've reached your
target weight.

Congratulations — now lock it in. A structured transition stops the weight creeping back on.
Coming off Total or Everyday

Stepping up from a low-calorie plan.

Going straight from 800–1,000 kcal to normal eating is a shock. Do it in gentle stages instead.

How the plan works

Back to normal eating,
in two gentle stages.

An example Stage One day

Two meals handled, two you cook.

A meal replacement to start, a light snack mid-morning, then a lunch and dinner you make yourself. It's how you rebuild everyday eating without the numbers on the scale creeping back up.

Breakfast · replacement

Start with Mixed Berry Muesli Yoghurt.

A fruity, filling bowl to open the day — one of your two meal replacements. High in protein and fibre, so you stay satisfied through to your mid-morning snack.

What is the Maintenance Plan?
It's the plan you follow once you've reached your goal weight. It helps you make the progression back to eating regular meals again, gradually, so your body gets an adaptation period instead of a sudden jump.
How long does the Maintenance Plan take?
It's best done in two stages, each lasting at least 3–4 weeks. After that, the habits you've built are designed to keep you at your goal weight for life — many people keep one shake a day indefinitely.
Why can't I just go straight back to normal eating?
Jumping straight from a total food replacement or low-calorie diet back to full meals can lead to rapid weight regain. A staged return gives your body time to adapt and helps your new weight settle.
How many meal replacements do I have?
In Stage One, two a day — one as a meal and one as a snack — plus two meals you prepare yourself. In Stage Two, one a day plus three self-prepared meals.
What should my home-cooked meals look like?
Build them from complex carbohydrates, lean protein and plenty of vegetables, and keep an eye on portion sizes as you return to normal eating.
Will I put the weight back on?
Not if you follow the stages and keep up your habits. Easing back gradually, staying hydrated and using the app to track your weight all help you hold your results.
Is the Maintenance Plan suitable for everyone?
If you have any health problems or medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes, or take any medication, you should always consult your doctor before starting any new eating plan.
