Dieting
Successful dieters:
Plan ahead; with a start point an end point and a known duration. This ensures that firm targets are set and are in the mind of the dieter.
Embark on the diet with a positive attitude; concentrate on what is wanted from the diet rather than what is not wanted.
Accept a change in lifestyle and perception of themselves.
Because we at WeightShapers know that diet is not just about weight we have devised, not a diet, but a weight and shape control programme designed to incorporate all the elements that make up a successful diet.
The programme is effective whether weight needs to be lost or gained.
The Programme
The programme is made up of four key elements:
Calorie Counting:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to separate weight change from calorie counting. A daily calorie limit is calculated using factors such as Body Mass Index (BMI), Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), level of activity and duration of diet. The duration of the diet being set so as to change weight gradually and educate the body to new limits. This allows the programme to be tailored to the individual needs of the dieter.
Metabolic Typing:
Some diets fail because although the dieter is following the diet faithfully they still do not change weight. This is because they are eating the wrong foods for their metabolic type.
NLP Relaxation & Reframing Techniques:
This techniques helps the dieter to embark on the diet in a positive frame of mind, with positive ideas of what they want to look like and do with their new shape.
Exercise:
Although the programme will work without exercise, as targets are set based on current activity level, it is more effective if a certain amount of extra activity, in the shape of exercise, is taken. This may be anything from gentle walking to aerobics. The daily calorie level will be adjusted, however, if the activity level increases significantly.
Four tried and tested elements brought together to give a very powerful and effective programme of weight and shape control.
