Chapter 1 What is alli? Chapter 1 What is alli? Successful Weight-loss Starts Here Losing weight will not only help you to feel better in yourself, it will also reduce your health risks. Sounds obvious, doesn’t it? However, it’s no secret that losing weight can be really hard work. In spite of knowledge and determination, it can be a real struggle to lose weight and keep it off. That’s why alli is an exciting development for adults who are overweight, with a BMI of 28 or above, and who want to make positive changes to their weight. It isn’t a miracle pill or a crash diet; it’s the first pharmacy-only weight-loss aid to be licensed for use throughout Europe. Also available is the alli support programme to guide you towards your weight-loss goal. Adding alli to a reduced calorie, lower-fat diet is clinically proven to help you lose 50% more weight. So for every 2 lb (1 kg) you lose from dieting, alli can help you lose an extra 1 lb (0.5 kg). The alli programme is a sensible approach to losing weight which helps you commit to lasting, positive changes to your eating and lifestyle habits.

Chapter 2 Your Diet Essentials Chapter 2 Your Diet Essentials Well done for taking the first steps to a healthier, trimmer you. The information in this chapter will help you learn how to eat a healthier diet, both while you are trying to lose weight and in the longer term. Many people spend years hopping from one diet to another but are still confused about what or how much to eat. Add to this the pressure of modern living, being short of time and the confidence to cook, as well as being surrounded by tempting and readily accessible food, and it’s little wonder we find it so hard not to put on weight. There isn’t a magic solution, but you can take more control by learning more about what and how much to eat and starting to incorporate more activity into your life. This chapter explains the background to the diet, giving you guidance about the food groups that will be part of your eating plans. This chapter has several sections: • The key to weight-loss success outlines the principles of energy balance. • What can I eat? takes you through the food-group system, explaining the importance of each group and providing you with useful tips for your diet. • Your diet goal provides a breakdown of the calories and fat that you may have at each meal. • Your meal blueprints helps you to plan healthy, balanced meals by giving you a clear guide of what to include each mealtime. • Food and your mind helps you to identity why you eat and provides a few tips to keep you motivated.

Chapter 3 The Menu Plans Chapter 3 The Menu Plans In this chapter you will find a range of different menu plans to help guide you through and beyond the time you are dieting. There are menu plans to fit the different calorie and fat bands of your diet. Included here are four weeks of daily menus for the 1400-calorie diet, the one that is most commonly followed. Additionally there is one menu plan per week for each of the 1200-, 1600- and 1800-calorie diets. These plans may also be useful if you are just starting out on the diet, or are coming to the end of your diet and want to maintain weight rather than lose it. The menu plans can be used in several ways. When dieting, some people like to know exactly what they can eat down to the last lettuce leaf. If you are one of those people the menu plans are perfect, as they describe each meal and snack. They provide links to the recipes in Chapter 4 (the recipe name is in italics ). If there is a meal you don’t fancy, you can find a substitute by looking at Chapter 4, by searching for a ready-prepared option in Chapter 6 or by putting ingredients from Chapter 9 together. Other people use menu plans for inspiration, gleaning ideas for meals but making up their own menus. If this is the way you like to diet, then you can easily find information to suit your calorie and fat targets by using chapters 4, 6 and 9. It is worth writing down your own menu plan so you can check that you keep within your fat and calorie targets.
