We’ve all wondered whether we really should eat that last chocolate biscuit – but the newly designed Weight Loss Resources website will tell you for sure.

Most diets urge you to follow their rules to lose weight – and if you rigidly stick to them, you probably will shed the pounds. But weight lost through strict dieting rarely stays off for long.

Weight Loss Resources allows you to completely personalise your diet plan according to your own individual statistics and how active you are, setting up an eating plan for life rather than a short-term fix. By inputting your height and weight, the easy-to-use tools on the website calculate exactly how many calories your body needs each day. You can then factor in how much exercise you’re doing and ask the website how many calories you will work off while doing it.

Looking at the calorific value of everything you eat and drink is made easy with the Weight Loss Resources food database which lists the calorie and nutritional data for thousands of everyday foodstuffs.

In addition, you can “talk” through any problems, pitfalls or worries with other people who know exactly how you feel. The members’ forum is lively and friendly and can be relied on night and day to give you a lift when you need it.

Backed by NICE - the independent body responsible for providing guidance on good health - the site offers a safe and reliable service. With a free 24-hour trial of its resources available and a monthly subscription as low as £7.78, it’s brilliant value in these harsh economic times.

Weight Loss Resources gives you the tools to live your life the way you want to, rather than resorting to yo-yo dieting.
