Hi
The newspapers seem to be full of doom and gloom at the moment with the credit crunch and talk of saving money. Apparently, ‘staying in’ is the new ‘going out’ and dinner parties are a great way of having fun at home. So, WLR’s Rachael Hill has put together 3 dinner party menus that watch the calories and the purse but don’t scrimp on the Wow Factor that will really get the party season started!

Speaking of wow factor, we're hoping we've managed to build some of that into the brand new Weight Loss Resources website. Take a free trial and see what you think. We'd love to hear from you if you have any comments, questions or suggestions.

Best wishes, Pat

Pump up the Volume

New research has confirmed that pumping up the volume can improve your energy levels and results when exercising. Endurance and stamina are also improved when we work out to our favourite ‘choons’. WLR guest writer, Cara Frost-Sharratt explains.

Getting Back into Your Skinny Jeans After a Baby

WLR’s personal trainer, Nicola Glanville gives us the lowdown on how to lose the baby weight – the healthy way. She covers everything from getting enough sleep to pelvic floor exercises to the right foods to eat when breastfeeding.

Workout With Wayne

So, you’ve got a shiny new set of dumbbells but not a clue what to do with them without doing yourself (or others) a major injury! Personal trainer, Wayne Pickering and DFR’s Sarah Massey have got together to bring you the lowdown on what exercises to do and which muscles each exercise will work. Watch this space for more Workouts with Wayne.

Switch in Brain – Obesity Link

New research has found that it is a little ‘switch’ in the brain that causes obesity in some people. The study suggests the switch that stops us overeating just doesn’t work in some people. WLR’s guest writer, Cara Frost-Sharratt investigates.

Healthy Cooking Tips

Missing our fried foods, lashings of cream, pastries and sauces when we’re dieting can send us on the slippery slope to weight loss failure. WLR cooking enthusiast, Julie Howard has come up with some healthy cooking tips to ensure the food we eat whilst dieting lacks nothing but extra, needless calories.

Tried and Tasted – Baked Beans

Beans, beans, good for the heart, the more you eat, the more you . . . can lose weight!!! This month our intrepid team try out a selection of healthier choice baked beans.

Food in Season – November

The clocks have gone back and the nights are getting colder and we’re all craving foods that are warm and filling. So, here are some seasonal delights for you that are ripe for some real warming dishes. Remember, Pumpkins aren’t just for Halloween, a goose isn’t just for Christmas and cabbage and parsnips are not just for a side order!

Offer of the Month

Working out in the comfort of your own home couldn’t be easier these days with all the home fitness equipment on the market.
