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.

a firm fitness favourite amongst many stars and celebrities. Numerous Hollywood yummy-mummies say they owe their post-baby bodies to yoga.

But it´s not only the stars that are going crazy for yoga.

And what´s not to enjoy when it comes to yoga, a great fitness method but also a wonderful form of relaxation.

But to really enjoy and get the most out of yoga, you should remember some things. Otherwise you can get injured or just lose interest because it feels too frustrating. Althought yoga is often thought to be less intense than high impact cardio exercise, it is actually a toug, exercise. So it´s very important to take it slow to begin with, maybe you can borrow or buy a yoga book or DVD that´s been made for beginners and start by getting to know what yoga is and practise the moves at home.

As there are numerous styles of yoga it is also of importance to find the right style for you. Some styles are more about stretching, others about strenght and some more about fitness.

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:
