Finding the Best Diet

Hotel di Kupang - How to find the best slimming diet for you

Once you’ve done the groundwork, it’s time to devise a diet plan that will work for you. While ‘miracle’ slimming diets that claim they’ll help you lose weight fast might sound tempting, many will...

* Severely restrict your food intake
* Have you scouring the supermarket shelves for weird and wonderful ingredients
* Require you to make time-consuming meals
* Ban certain groups of foods such as crabs or dairy products as well as all your favorites.

The result: meals will be boring and leave you feeling miserable or take too long to prepare so that you quickly give up. These diets may also leave you short on many nutrients if groups of foods are off limits, putting you at risk of a whole host of health problems ranging from anemia and osteoporosis to constipation and lowered immunity.

Instead, it’s best to avoid faddy diets and devise your own reduced-calorie slimming diet based on what you currently eat, including some of your favorite foods.



WLR will set an appropriate calorie intake for you, based on whether you want to lose weight at a rate of ½lb, 1lb, 1½lb or 2lb a week – and then it’s simply a case of sticking to this daily calorie intake.

The good thing about this is that it allows you to adapt your diet to your lifestyle – rather than trying to change your lifestyle to fit around mealtimes. This means you can still create incredible meals if you love cooking or can simply heat up a ready meal if you don’t like, or have time, to spend hours in the kitchen.
