A slimming expert from Carfin has said there is no need to starve yourself if you want to lose weight.
Rachel McMahon has lost almost five stone and runs the Carfin Slimming World group in The Xavier Centre.
She says that those who are looking to shed those extra pounds before Christmas should eat more, not less.
Rachel said: “I tried so many fads when I decided I wanted to lose weight – skipping meals, meal replacement shakes, restricting certain foods.
“Yes, I lost weight at first, but I only put it all back on again because I felt too restricted and deprived.
“I felt so ashamed at failing too. You can’t keep that up for long at all.”
Rachel claims that what helped her to shed the weight was thinking about the food she was eating.
“I eat more than I ever did before, I just eat smarter – filling up on lean meat, vegetables, fruit, potatoes, rice and fat-free diary before anything else.
“I make healthy, homemade meals from scratch that the whole family can enjoy.
“My members know they don’t have to weigh, count or measure everything they eat to lose weight.
“They don’t have to give anything up and they don’t have to ever go hungry thanks to Slimming World’s Free Food.
“It’s a lifestyle not a quick fix, and something that can be kept up forever.”
