In weight loss the direction is definitely more important than speed. This is an important thing to remenber when embarking on a weight loss regime. The rapidity of weight loss also depends on the method used.

Usually when you lose weight by using a diet, the recommended speed is 500 grammes per week. If you are losing more than that a week, there is a good chance your diet is too limited and you´re not getting all the nutrients your body needs from your food. Value Slim makes sure you eat a healthy diet when losing weight.

The more overweight you are the faster the kilos will come off in the beginning

of a diet.

But it is good to keep in mind that at some point it will become harder to lose the kilos and shifting those last few kilos are the hardest. But the main thing is to keep at it and not get frustrated when the kilos won´t shift as easily as in the beginning.

It is also good to remember that after slimming down your body won´t need as much energy aka calories as before, so if you go back to your old ways after losing weight, the kilos will just come back.

Food is not only vital for people but it´s also a great source of pleasure and enjoyment.

In order to get all the nutrients we need from food it is important that our diet is varied. Three of the most important  nutritive substances for people are carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

A healthy diet should include all of these three. Over half of the energy we consume should come from carbs, a little less then a third from fats and about 15 per cent from proteins.

That can seem like some difficult math that is hard to implement in your daily life. Fortunately there is an easy way of controling your portions: the platemodel. The platemodel shows from which components a good meal comprises of and the model is very easy to use in everyday life:

Half of the plate on a meal should be filled with fresh or boiled vegetables, a quarter of the plate with potato, pasta or rice and another quarter with meat or fish.

Then add to this 1-2 slices of bread greased with margarine.

The Value Slim meals give you all the important nutrions a body needs and at the same time makes sure your portion sizes are suitable.

Fats are a theme that always awekens a lot of discussion and debate. Are fats just bad for you? Should you eat fats and if yes then which kind of

fats are good and which are bad? The first question is easy to answer: everybody needs fats so fats shouldn´t be compeletely avoided.

The human body actually needs fats for a number of vital functions. For example fats help our body to absorb nutrients and thay also help nerve transmission. So fats have an important role to play in our bodies and therefore shouldn´t be seen as the devil out to ruin our bodies.

But on the other hand fats can do a lot of harm in the human body if eaten in excess. When a person´s diet includes excess amounts of fats, there are multipal health risks involved. First of all a faddy diet leads to weight gain and it also contributes to heart disease and some types of cancer. Things we all would like to avoid.

The key when it comes to fats  is to remember that there are many different kinds of fats. Fats that are good for you when eaten in moderate amounts and your body and fats that are bad.

ValueSlim offers you a balanced low fat diet.
