Description
With the dieting world full of conflicting messages, it can be difficult to know which diet is the right one for you.Here, Dietitian and Spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association Chloe Miles helps demystify this year’s most talked about diet plans so you can decipher between the fads and the hard facts.Get into the habit of swapping high-fat for low-fat foods while gaining the support of fellow dieters at weekly group meetings.This diet plan to lose weight aims to aid weight loss at a rate of 1-2lb a week.Members are provided with a list of ‘free’ foods, which they can eat at will, and ‘syn’ foods, which are restricted but not completely outlawed.The idea is to persuade dieters away from high-fat foods without asking them to radically change their eating habits.“The selection of food on this diet plan is extensive, offering balanced meals which encourage an increased intake of fruit and vegetables.The group classes offer dieters a space to support each other and share recipes, which keeps people motivation.However, the diet doesn’t teach people about portion sizes or calories, meaning that people may struggle to keep the weight off in the long-term. Also, the words ‘free food’ and ‘syn’ that are used within the diet plan can cause people to demonise particular foods or food groups, rather than looking at their overall intake.”
