Dieting a struggle? Give science a go!
RESEARCH has shown that a staggering 90 per cent of diets fail and that the average UK slimmer tries and fails four diets a year. Calorie-restrictive regimes rely on willpower and resisting cravings for unhealthy food. Unsurprisingly, after a few weeks of selfdenial, most of us are unable to resist the lure of the office biscuit tin! However, a new diet backed by science may have found a way to prevent hunger pangs and banish unhealthy food cravings. The new weight management range contains SlimBiome®, which independent clinical studies have shown reduces hunger and cravings for sweet and fatty foods. Developed by leading UK universities and a winner of industry awards, it helps you feel fuller for longer and also controls blood sugar levels to reduce cravings. Typical weight loss is 2-3lbs a week. More importantly, surveys show users experienced relief from hunger pangs which led to easier and more successful long-term dieting. The range comprises shakes, snack bars and muesli pots packed with protein, fibre and healthy ingredients such as gluten-free oats, pressed fruit and nuts, as well as a host of vital vitamins and minerals. The inclusion of dietary fibre and prebiotics benefits the gut, and the mineral chromium helps to keep glucose levels consistent, so your energy levels don’t spike after each meal. This helps reduce food cravings too, as when your blood sugar dips you are most likely to reach for snacks. Elric Lloyd-Langton says: ‘Other diets I tried gave me terrible cravings, but after starting this regime I lost over a stone and have managed to maintain my target weight for at least a year.’
