SureSlim’s Clinical Advisor Dr. Yvette Lolin has developed her top 10 Weight Loss tips so that you can start losing weight today.

Weight Loss Tip number 1: Try and plan your meals in advance. This will help you avoid temptation and resist having to run out to grab a quick (and possibly unhealthy) option

Weight Loss Tip number 2: If you are eating out, do not be afraid to ask for your food to be prepared in a special way – i.e. grilled, skin removed etc. When ordering a salad take control and ask for your dressing to be served separately. Try and avoid creamy or cheesy toppings.

Weight Loss Tip number 3: If you’re currently on one of the SureSlim plans then try to choose a meal that is similar to the ones recommended on your bespoke SureSlim Eating Plan.

Weight Loss Tip number 4: Make sure you drink plenty of water during the day – ideally at least 8 glasses. This will not only keep you hydrated, but will also help you detox from the night before and can help suppress your appetite naturally.

Weight Loss Tip number 5: If you are planning on drinking, remember to have a bit of protein, such as cheese, just before.

Weight Loss Tip number 6: Wine and clear spirits are a better choice than strong lagers, cream liqueurs or cocktails. Try drinking spritzers!

Weight Loss Tip number 7: If you can’t resist a canapé then opt for the vegetables with dips rather than the deep fried options.

Weight Loss Tip number 8: Eat all your meals within an hour to allow food to digest properly before the next meal.

Weight Loss Tip number 9: Leave five hour gaps between your meals and try not to snack as this will help aid digestion.

Weight Loss Tip number 10: Dance your socks off! Just 10-minutes of high impact dancing can help burn off some of those cocktail calories so make sure you have some fun on the dance floor!

We all know roughly how we should look and feel at our optimum weight, and usually, one look in the mirror will tell us whether we’re overweight or not. The question is, when do you decide ‘I need to Lose Weight’?

Even if you’re only slightly overweight now, you should consider altering your eating habits to avoid putting any more weight on. Weight doesn’t suddenly appear overnight, you gain it gradually, over such a long period of time that you often don’t notice until you’ve gained several pounds. By brushing the issues under the carpet, you’re leaving yourself in danger of adding more weight and putting yourself at risk of some serious illnesses. Understanding that you need to lose weight is the first step to weight loss!

Use our BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator to find out if you’re currently overweight. This calculator takes your height and present weight and gives you an estimated Body Mass figure. Although this isn’t exact, it’s a good indication of whether you need to lose weight. A BMI of over 25 is considered to be overweight – if you are over 25 you should consider the fct that you may need to lose weight.

You may not think it’s worth the time and expense of starting a formal weight loss programme if you’re only slightly overweight. Consider, though, that if you continue your current eating habits and don’t burn any more calories, you are likely to continue gaining weight, whereas if you tackle the issues now and learn to eat properly and choose foods that work with your body, you can change the way you eat, achieve the weight loss you need to, and maintain it in the long term. In fact, this is an ideal time to make a start.

At SureSlim, we don’t want you to commit yourself to a weight loss programme until you fully understand what’s involved. Our programme isn’t a short term quick fix, it’s long term, with an eating plan that’s personally designed for you, with support and guidance that will help you through the whole process. Backed by medical research, our plan has been used successfully by hundreds of clients and we’d be happy to talk to you about how it could help you manage your weight. Ask for your free information – if you need to lose weight we can help.

While the SureSlim Eating Plan helps you to lose weight, the eating plan is only one component of the programme. SureSlim also provides private, one-on-one consultations to support you while you are losing weight. Often it is the lack of accountability that leads to failed dieting and eventual weight gain and ultimately frustration.

Whilst you are Losing Weight your SureSlim consultant acts as your own personal weight-loss and wellness coach and offer encouragement and advice to help you to keep losing weight. Your Sureslim consultant will also monitor your inch loss and progress as you are losing weight, ensuring that you have the tools and knowledge necessary to gain control of your eating habits and diet.

The SureSlim doctor is also on hand to make any necessary adjustments to your programme due to medication changes or improved blood test results.

When you have reached your goal weight, your SureSlim consultant will assist you in implementing the most important part of your diet plan and that is to ensure that you understand how to maintain your weight loss. This enables you to be supported whilst you are losing weight, to lose weight safely and successfully but more importantly to keep it off!

The only truly medical eating plan that corrects Glucose Metabolism by controlling the hormones that control body weight. Overeating may not be the problem so to understand how you need to lose weight, SureSlim do a comprehensive set of blood tests (Full Blood Count, Fasting Lipids, Kidney and Liver functions, Fasting Glucose and Thyroid). SureSlim recognises that each person has a different metabolism and that people with weight problems tend to have a metabolic problem, which we establish through the blood tests. Realising that everybody is different is why SureSlim so successfully shows its client how to lose weight healthily and fast!

Our Doctor will review your blood test results together with your food dislikes, medication and medical history to produce an Eating Plan specific for you. This plan is designed to stimulate or suppress hormones, which helps rebalance glucose metabolism – so by correcting the problem the weight disappears and clients experience a rapid weight loss of a minimum of 10lbs per month.

Its not just knowing how to lose weight, we understand that you also need support. Your one-to-one support will be tailored around your needs. This is to assist you on your way to reaching your goal weight to ensure that you are able to control your weight loss.

Eating Plans are individual and cater for all types of religion, vegetarians, sportspeople etc.

SureSlim understand food and the reasons that people put on weight, this core understanding is why SureSlim can confidently show you how to lose weight!

What constitutes a healthy diet?

It is a myth that eating less will make you lose weight faster. When following the Sureslim Programs, it is absolutely essential that you consume all of the food that is on your menu planner according to the exact guidelines given.

In order to have a healthy diet you must eat the right amount of foods and the correct types of foods so that you ensure that your metabolic functions are at their best and your weight loss Program is successful.

SureSlim ensure your diet is healthy by weighing your food while you are on the SureSlim Eating Plan. This will not only ensure that you are getting enough to eat, as well as a correct balance of protein, carbohydrates (this includes both your vegetable carbohydrates and your starches) and fats, but will also ensure that you are not overeating. Remember, rather than estimating your portion sizes, weigh your food using accurate kitchen scales as this will help you to reach your goal weight faster!

Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids which are needed in the body for growth, maintenance and repair of body tissues. Carbohydrates are converted into sugars to provide energy to your cells. Dietary fats are healthy for your heart as they can help reduce cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke and reduce inflammation and boost the immune

SureSlim makes sure that you have everything you need. A good diet should be a healthy diet!

All clients have a blood test, which looks at you as an individual. This blood test is not a food intolerance test. This is a fasting blood test and tests your Full Blood Count, Lipids, Glucose, Liver Functions, Kidney Functions and Thyroid.

Why do the test?

In order to create Diets that Work we need to know how you work! The test helps establish certain values that are essential when compiling your individual programme. For example, if you were found to have elevated Uric Acid a purine free diet is formulated to help lower this level. When the total cholesterol level is elevated the diet aims to reduce fats, particularly those from a non-vegetarian source and those high in saturated fats. We also consider the FBC as some clients may have an iron deficiency; similarly the other tests contribute to the overall picture. In some instances the results will need to be brought to the attention of your GP as they may require additional investigation or treatment. Examples are anaemia, thyroid problems or diabetes. Blood test results will be sent directly to your GP, unless requested otherwise in writing.

Your SureSlim Diet Plan.

Once the blood test has been medically screened we formulate your individual SureSlim Diet Plan. Other factors such as your medical history, medication and food dislikes are taken into consideration. The SureSlim Diet plan draws upon a number of different ideas about weight loss and nutrition. Low glycaemic index foods, low saturated fats foods, fruits, vegetables and seeds are all incorporated to compile a healthy nutritionally balanced Diet plan. The plan does not count calories rather it looks at the nutritional content of the food.

SureSlim has been creating Diets that work for women and men all over the world, so why not try us now!

Daryl Taylor, Chief Executive of SureSlim UK said : “Pregnant women following the SureSlim diet plan will ideally gain approx 1 – 2 stone in line with their pregnancy rather than  3 – 4 stone which can happen when weight gain is out of control.”

“We have clients delighted to be able to follow a balanced nutrient rich plan allowing them to feel in control and enjoy their pregnancy.”

Margot Terblanche followed the SureSlim Diet Plan throughout her pregnancy to avoid gaining weight.  She was so successful her story was featured on the The Wright Stuff and she has subsequently had a second child again using the SureSlim Diet Plan to control her weight throughout.

Margaret said “The diet gave the baby the right food without me having to worry what to eat and without me picking up extra weight. My biggest fear had been gaining too much weight, but I also didn’t want to starve myself and had to do what was in the best interests of the baby.  After the birth my tummy was quite flat because I had not retained water or gained extra weight – I was delighted.”
