WARNING:
ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE BEGINNING ANY CARDIOVASCULAR OR STRENGTH TRAINING EXERCISES

If you're having problems losing weight chances are you can't answer the following questions...

1. How long will it take you to lose weight if you continue to follow your current diet and exercise regimen?

2. Is the diet you prepared using Plan-A-Meal a realistic diet for you to stick to?

3. How many minutes of exercise will you realistically need to succeed at your goal?  (Try calculator above)

4. How many calories a week should you limit yourself to? A diet should should have enough calories so that you have enough energy to burn fat (Remember: A steady diet of moderate calories is a better way to preserve your hard earned muscle, while getting enough energy to burn fat). Personal Diets dietitian's determine this for you - however if you think you need your calories modified do contact us about this.

5. What percentage of fat, carb and protein is your diet planned for?  Nutritional balance is quite important even for weight loss diets.  This considerations can be 'key' to success but often goes unaddressed by those who diet on their own or by those who go without professional help. Again, your PersonalDiets plan has already considered this.  If you think this needs to be modified contact us.

6. How easy is your plan to follow? Remember the rule is to KISS! (or "Keep it simple stupid!"). KISS is a good "rule of thumb" to follow when it comes to dieting. Think practical - think simple and think about keeping it simple.  Use Plan-A-Meal and/or your eating guidelines to eat and plan foods that make dieting simpler.

7. Can you depend on your diet results if don't get help?
   If you can great, however if you're not a diet and nutrition expert (a registered dietitian) & you have limited knowledge about how to diet you will benefit from expert help so do contact your Personal Dietitian when you need to.
