Losing weight needn't be about depriving yourself

Here at weightlossresources.co.uk, we know that successful dieting is not about depriving yourself and eating nothing but endless salads and cardboard snacks.

We also know that sometimes it can be hard to find the inspiration to put together a delicious, filling meal which won't break the calorie bank.

“I think it's a really good cookbook – simple, straightforward, with plenty of choice but nothing overly complicated or time consuming. It should be on the kitchen shelf of everyone who has a busy life and waistline they want to reduce or keep slender.”

Sample fad free recipes

Indulgent Cheeseburger and Homemade Chips

Who would have thought you could have a full on melting cheeseburger with chips for less than 500 calories?! These burgers are also great cooked on the BBQ, and you can experiment with putting different herbs and spices into the burger mixture – a WLR favourite is chopped fresh chilli.

Chicken with Creamy Garlic Mushrooms  Ready in 20 minutes

A really quick dish for those nights when you just want to get something on a plate but don't want to compromise on enjoyment.

Lime Crusted Fish with Roast Potato Chips

A fantastic alternative to a greasy take away portion of fish and chips with fresh, zingy flavours for less than 500 calories.

Moroccan Spiced Lamb  All your 5-a-day in one serving!

A longer cooking time really reaps rewards with this rich and interesting Eastern inspired lamb dish.

Fillet Steak with Redcurrant Sauce and Dijon Mash

Sometimes you just can't beat a good bit of steak!

Tiramisu

A true classic dish, the rich coffee flavour of Tiramisu is best served chilled, a truly indulgent dessert.

“It's a great selection of recipes… [my Husband] and I made the tiramisu on Saturday night (It's his favourite dessert) and it was impossible to tell that it was a “weight-loss-friendly” version… definitely the only version we're going to make in future… For him to give the WLR-approved version such a hearty thumbs up was a very good thing indeed.”
