Do I have to diet while on the programme?

We know that traditional diets don’t work for a lot of people. They can actually be counter-productive. Many people find that they fall into a pattern of yo-yo dieting and this is not only unhelpful in the long term as they never sustain weight loss, but also helps foster a feeling of failure and low self-esteem. When on the Slimmr programme, we will not ask you to diet. There is no calorie counting and no limits on what you should or shouldn’t eat. We strongly believe that no food groups are ‘bad’. A good, healthy diet is about balance. While on weight loss medication your appetite will decrease. Some people report that their desire for high calorie or fatty foods decreases. Weight loss medication works by helping to reduce your appetite and cravings for calorie-dense foods. But while on the programme you should make sure you eat a balanced diet, there’s no calorie counting and certainly no foods you have to avoid or cut out.
