Are you always hungry and craving sweet foods? Do you lose weight, but always put it back on after stopping the “diet”? Have you virtually given up all hope of getting into shape due to many past failures? Do you want a long-term solution?    Long-term weight loss and how to achieve it... If so, you have come to the right place, as effective weight management for the long-term is our speciality! We know that weight loss is often very difficult (if not a lifelong struggle) for many people. There is so much conflicting information available on a bewildering array different diets, which foods to avoid, which foods are good for slimming, how to exercise and metabolism etc. A lack of understanding about the correct and healthiest way to lose weight causes many people to give up, due to a failure to see of results. We are here to help! If you have tried but failed to slim down on a number of previous occasions and/or wish to get into good shape, follow our simple steps to weight loss success below. After helping countless people to shape-up, we now offer this guide, along with a free slimmer’s meal plan, as a free service to our customers. Here’s to your weight loss success - don’t forget to let us know how you get on! Step 1 Read this page in full Read and follow our free slimmer’s meal plan Print off our Personal Statistics Form and Self Monitoring Form    Step 2 Buy a notebook and write down your goal(s) or use the Self Monitoring Form. Weigh yourself and take all your body measurements - try to measure in the same place every time. This is your starting point. After logging your current weight and body measurements on the Self Monitoring Form, decide how much weight you want to lose over the following 6 - 12 weeks, e.g. “I am going to lose 15 lbs by [date]”'. Be realistic - you cannot lose 10 lbs of fat in a week! Achieving a small goal will also give you motivation to carry on.   Top tip If you have always found weight loss very difficult and you experience digestive problems such as bloating after eating, excessive wind, flatulence, recurring indigestion etc, please read our health information page on food intolerances and allergies. Digestive and intestinal problems will usually slow down slimming results, so if you experience any of these symptoms, we recommend that you try our Total Gut Therapy Programme. Step 3 For best results, don't “chop and change” this routine too much for the first 3 - 4 weeks. Don't be tempted to stray to another weight management plan - have patience and see this programme through. You have to give your body time to respond to this new regime.    Step 4 Fill in the Self Monitoring Form at the end of each day - this is important as it helps you to stay motivated. It is also your road map to success - you will be able to evaluate just how well you have done each day and over the week. With this daily information on hand, you can determine why results are good or not as good as you hoped at the end of each week, when you weigh and measure yourself again. If you eat too much of the wrong foods, write it down. If you drink alcohol, write it down. If you do exercise, say what you did and write it down. Summarise each day as “did well”, “did okay” or “did badly”.     Step 5 Use our nutritious meal replacement drink for times when eating the right food is not an option. In today's fast-paced world, it is not always possible to eat the correct food when on the go. MEALtime is ideal for days when you have to skip breakfast, can’t buy the correct foods or when there is simply no time to eat. It is packed with nutrients and contains the correct ratio of proteins, carbohydrates and fats for easy assimilation. What's more, it is dairy, gluten and additive free, making it ideal for people who experience digestive problems.       Step 6 Log your measurements every 7 - 10 days on the Personal Statistics Form. Over the weeks, you will see how your shape is changing (indicating body fat loss). Don't only concern yourself with the weight you have lost on the scale, because if you lose mainly muscle mass and not body fat (e.g. due to following a very low calorie and nutrient deficient diet), you will more than likely put all that weight back on, with a bit more, once you start to eat normally again. This is because your metabolism is adversely affected by that type of unhealthy diet. Step 7 If you wish to speed up slimming results, alter our free slimmer’s meal plan as follows: Reduce your carbohydrate (potato, rice and fruit) intake. Replace them with our MEALtime meal replacement drink on most days. Reduce the amount of rice and potato you have during the day and try to leave out the rice or potato from your evening meal - increase the amount of green vegetables to compensate. Increase your activity levels - go for a walk daily, join a gym or go for a swim; basically do more exercise and not only will you feel fitter and healthier, your body will burn up more calories and you will lose weight faster as a result. Top tip Follow our dietary and supplement guidelines, keep yourself motivated and committed and you will achieve results!     Please consult with your doctor before starting any new diet, supplements programme or exercise regime (particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication).
