Weight loss Diets

Those of us who want to lose weight and keep it off often need to follow a diet or eating plan of some kind to ensure we don't stray off track and consume more calories than we need to maintain a healthy bodyweight.

Below are links to some weight loss diets, or healthy eating plans as we prefer to call them, that might help you to lose all the weight you want. Each diet is slightly different, recognising that we all have different tastes and goals. What these eating plans have in common is that they include everyday foods, aren't too restrictive and are flexible enough to cater to your individual needs. Because each food listed in these diets has its own calorie and kilojoule value listed, you can add, remove and substitute foods as you like.

The Everyday Weight loss Diet - Eating Plan

This weight loss diet is for everyday people and recognises that we can all consume different amounts of food and still lose weight.

Based on an average daily intake of around 2000 calories or 8400 kilojoules, this diet allows you to eat a little more or less by listing the calorie and kilojoule value of each food so you can add or remove foods to achieve the intake you want.

This 12 week weight loss diet is designed for those who want to eat a variety of 'normal' foods in their diet, so it contains many of the foods you enjoy and are probably already eating. Because it is based on everyday foods, you're more likely to be able to stick to it.
