Denise Austin Weight Loss Review

Fit and Fabulous at the Same Time

When I was younger, I was a supporter of Denise Austin weight loss and exercise program, so as I edged toward 50 and found I had trouble keeping my weight down, I found out about her weight loss program and was enthralled by it.

Unlike many other diet plans, the Denise Austin weight loss program does not restrict any food categories nor prevent you from eating the foods you love in order to lose weight. The key to success with this program is eating foods in moderation.

Instead of eliminating food groups like many other diets, one of the six key strategies of Denise Austin weight loss program is to measure food in small bowls and only eat half of over-sized portions. You also need to increase your intake of fibre by eating oatmeal, brown rice, and other types of fibres in order to lose weight quicker.

Other parts of the Denise Austin weight loss plan include eating good fats such as olive oil, avocados, fish and nuts. You are encouraged to fill up on fruits and vegetables so that you won’t have room for fatty foods.

The diet also helps you address why you eat and encourages you to eat only when you feel hungry so that you eat less. The final concept is learning to change your behaviour such as substituting good conversation for trips to the vending machine.

Exercise is also a very important part of Denise Austin’s plan with a combination of cardiovascular exercise, stretching, and toning daily. Her website provides a variety of different exercises you can customize for yourself.

The thing I liked best when I began the Denise Austin weight loss program was not having to count calories or eliminate foods. I could eat pretty much anything I wanted but ion smaller portions. For most people, portion control is a big issue.

For instance, we don’t need to eat a big plate of spaghetti. I learned to eat a small plate of pasta (lunch size plate) and compensated by having a large green salad with low-fat dressing on the side. I snacked on fruit and vegetables instead of ice cream, cake and cookies. The diet is all about learning how to eat differently and replace fatty foods with leaner and healthier ones.

Of all the diets I have tried, this was the easiest to follow, and although I didn’t lose weight quickly, I lost it consistently. If you’re looking for a way to lose weight fast, this is not the plan for you.

However, you must remember slow weight loss means long-term weight loss. I still have about twenty more pounds to lose, but there has not been a week when I haven’t lost at least two pounds, which is great for me. I have more energy now, can move without pain most days, and I don’t have problems with my back any longer.

I’ll soon be 52, and I feel better now than I did when I turned 40 because I’m able to exercise regularly and am eating low-fat healthy foods.
