[learn_more caption="Do I have to give up my favourite foods?"] Food is an important part of our lives and is closely linked to our emotions and social environment. If you are aware that your favourite foods are not always the best foods for your body then rather than giving them up completely they need to be put in the right place within your diet and Diana will discuss this with you.[/learn_more]
[learn_more caption="How much weight can I expect to lose?"] To achieve a steady weight loss of 1 ½ to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kg) the Department of Health recommends cutting down your calorie intake by 500 to 600 calories. An average woman needs about 2000 calories to stay the same weight. To achieve more weight loss than this you need to combine your Meal Plan with a programme of exercise. At the boot camps Diana works with, an average weight loss of between 7 and 12 pounds together with a more defined and toned body shape is achieved in 7 days. [/learn_more]
[learn_more caption="Are the Meal Plans calorie controlled?"] Yes when creating the recipes Diana uses a food analysis programme to check the calories and balance of nutrients. However as a passionate cook flavour always takes the highest priority.[/learn_more]
[learn_more caption="What if I can’t eat certain foods?"] Diana’s training as a Nutritional Therapist means that she is able to design nutritionally balanced meals whilst avoiding the food that you are unable to tolerate[/learn_more]
[learn_more caption="Can I drink alcohol?"] Not only is alcohol high in calories but research tells us that too much alcohol is bad for our health. The NHS recommends that women should not regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day. One standard 175ml glass of wine contains approx 2 units of alcohol and 130 calories. Consider whether you are using alcohol as a food substitute (drinking when you are hungry) and/or have got into the habit of using it as a relaxant. Many clients find that their Meal Plan helps them to maintain better control over their intake of alcohol [/learn_more]
[learn_more caption="Is it alright to snack between meals?"] Many of us associate snacking with indulging in unsuitable foods. However the right snacks designed to sustain your energy levels form an important part of your Meal Plan and can be enjoyed without guilt[/learn_more]
[learn_more caption="What about tea and coffee?"] Tea and coffee are both stimulants which cause the body to produce adrenaline which releases stored glucose from your liver and although this will give you an initial boost the longer outcome is variable energy levels and the desire for sweet and/or carbohydrate foods Tea and coffee are however drinks that can be enjoyed in moderation with food. To maintain a fully hydrated body which is important for weight loss you need a regular intake of water and non-caffeinated drinks such as herbal teas [/learn_more]
