Weight management strategies: Different eating plans & programmes

When it comes to weight loss, one of the most commonly asked questions is which diet is best for weight loss?

The answer is there isn’t one. For any diet to work and for you to lose weight, you need to use up more energy than you take in from what you eat. Any changes in diet should take into account your preferences, and fit in with healthy eating advice.

What is important is that the changes that you make are sustainable in the long-term to prevent gaining back any weight lost.

There are various different eating plans that you can follow which we’ll discuss in more detail in this section. Whether you follow low calorie, low carbohydrate or intermittent fasting plan, the aim is the same – it is all about reducing the amount of calories you consume.
