Just started NHS diet

I have just started this NHS diet as I have been on a slim fast diet for the last 4 weeks and lost nothing. I am hoping the NHS diet will work. Any advice to helping weight leave me.

Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum 123sarah 😊

The best advice I can give is have enough to eat. If you are following the NHS 12 Week plan then the 1400/1900 calorie target suggested is a just generic amount, please check your own personal calorie target using the BMI checker, it’s often higher than you think. We always advise starting towards the top of the range, being hungry is the biggest cause of weight loss failure.

A common mistake is trying to reduce fat and eating too many carbohydrates, please read this for a more detailed explanation (please ignore the title, it applies to everyone) healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... 😊

We have found that active participation is key to success, especially the Group Weigh In and Daily Diary. Please see today’s Chat Thread with a list of all the things happening on the forum. healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

If you haven’t already then please read the Welcome post here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... please read it carefully and just ask if you have any questions.

Welcome Hidden . Indigo has given you some good info in her links. Have a good read.

My advice would be to join in the chats on the forum as much as you can. You will read some inspirational posts and also you can’t eat and take part at the same time 😂. Good luck x
