Coleen Bradley Don’t eat less, eat smarter is the message from expert

A Coatbridge slimming expert says there’s no need for anyone looking to lose weight to go hungry.

That’s because new research has revealed that filling up on low-energy dense foods is more likely to lead to weight loss success than counting calories and cutting portion sizes.

Rob Watson- Worlidge, Slimming World’s team developer for Coatbridge, claimed the key for anyone wanting to shed the pounds ahead of summer is to eat more – not less.

The research came as no surprise to Rob, who supports 10 consultants in the town, as he explained: “I tried so many fads when I decided I wanted to lose weight – skipping meals, food replacement shakes, even the cabbage soup diet. You name it, I did it.

“I was just desperate to get quick results. Yes, I lost weight at first, but I only put it all back on again because I felt too restricted and deprived.

“I felt so ashamed at ‘failing’ too. You can’t keep that up for long.

“When I joined Slimming World everything changed. From the very first week I learned that actually, you can feel full and lose weight enjoying all your favourite dishes, just by making small changes to the way you shop, cook and eat.

“I eat more than I ever did before, I just eat smarter.

“That’s why this new research really doesn’t surprise me. My members know they don’t have to weigh, count or measure everything they eat to lose weight.

“They don’t have to give anything up or ever go hungry thanks to Slimming World’s Free Food.

“It’s a lifestyle, not a quick fix, and something that can be kept up forever.”

Through his team developer role, Rob has opened an additional five groups in Coatbridge.

He said: “It’s been a pleasure working with new consultants and supporting them to support even more members.

“But we need more, there are still so many people who don’t know about Slimming World and the benefits it brings. I have opportunities available now in Coatbridge, and some in Airdrie, for brand new consultants to help us spread the news you can eat more and lose weight.”

Anyone interested in becoming a Slimming World consultant is invited to attend an “opportunity event” being held in Cumbernauld’s Westerwood Hotel on Sunday, June 3, at 10.30am.
