Questions
How does selective eating work?
At Shapes
Slimming we try to get away from the diet concept so we do not count
calories, we restrict the high fats and sugars.
Why do we encourage "unit free" foods.
There are many unit free foods such as meat, poultry, and all types of
fish, lean bacon and eggs.
Vegetables and most fruits are "unit free" foods
Most vegetables, including root vegetables, apart from potatoes, can be used freely which eliminates weighing foods and can make losing weight easier.
Is meat restricted?
Red meat can be restricted
to two servings weekly depending on weight loss required. Vegetarian
dieters have cheese restricted in the same way.
How much will it cost for me to be selective?
Go to "Class & Price List".
Together we have lost over 56lbs

recorded discretely. You are then given your ideal body weight and you
can discuss with your counsellor how you can achieve this. Every week
you will receive eating plans, recipes and advice regarding our
Selective Eating Programme and we recommend you arrange to stay for the
weekly talk.
How does "Shape By Post" work?
You receive a package containing six weeks
information taking you through the programme step by step. When you
register your starting weight you will be encouraged to phone your
counsellor on the same day every week, with your progress, to keep the
same discipline as if you were coming in to class. Your counsellor can
then assist with any problems you may have. The average weight loss in
six weeks is 1 stone.
