Weight Loss & Healthy Eating

If you are in good health but would like to lose weight, there are people who can provide you with a plan to suit your needs. When you register, you will set a target weight that will bring you to a BMI in the healthy weight-for-height category. However, your BMI is not suitable for everyone, so if you feel that your target weight is unrealistic, you can contact your training consultant at anytime and they will change your target weight to one you feel is more appropriate for you.

If you don't want to lose weight, but simply want to maintain your current weight through healthy eating, a plan can be provided to help with this too.

No matter what your goal is, any Nutrition team will calculate your calorie allowance based on your requirements and we will create your plan around this allowance. You don't have to do any calorie counting as our nutritionists do all that for you! Each week you will receive a 7 day meal plan, with breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner for each day, and a shopping list to match - this plan really will show you how to put healthy living principles into practice! People tell me that having their meals planned for them like this is the best way to help them to break unhealthy eating habits.

The plans are very flexible so you can change any meal on your plan and choose another one from our extensive selection, or you can swap meals around so, for example, if you prefer to have your main meal at lunchtime, you can continue to do so. It has been made as easy as possible for you to fit the meal plans in with your regular routine - remember, the most successful diet plan is the one you can stick with and make part of your lifestyle!

You can choose either a convenience*, combination* or recipe based plan. Your lifestyle and the amount of time you wish to spend preparing food will dictate which option is best for you. If you don't have much time for cooking, or if you don't like cooking, our convenience plan would be the most suitable option for you. It contains meals that are quick and easy to prepare, and you can even choose from some ready meals for days when you don't have any time to prepare food.

If you are busy during the day and don't have much time to spend preparing breakfast or lunch, but like to cook your evening meal, our combination plan would be perfect for you. If there are some days when you don't have time to make a recipe-based meal in the evening, your plan will be flexible enough to allow you to select something more convenient.

People who love to cook and try new recipes, and have more time to do so should opt for the recipe based plan. However, if you do choose this plan and occasionally want a more convenient option, again you can change any meal to a more suitable one.

You will be able to exclude certain foods when you register according to your preferences, and if there are still some foods on your plan that you don't like, you can avoid these by changing that meal to another one or swapping the individual food for another. We will give you guidance on doing this. If you are vegetarian or vegan*, you will be able to indicate this when you register, and we will create a plan to suit your preferences.

Nutritionists have even devised a Dining Out guide to keep you on track when you are eating out, so you won't ever feel deprived.

If you find that it doesn't really suit you, you can change your entire plan to a different one. If you need advice in relation to this, you can contact our nutritionists and they will point you in the direction of the most suitable plan for you.

So, as you can see, there's something for everyone! There's no right or wrong option - members on the convenience plan are just as likely to be successful as those on the recipe-based plan. What's important is that you choose the plan that is most suitable for you, because you will be more likely to stick to that plan, and therefore more likely to successfully achieve your goal.

*Please note that the Low-Carb Plan is only available as a recipe based plan, and is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
