Weight Loss Resources is a UK based site that provides tools, tips and resources that are useful to the average dieter, regardless of what particular diet they are following. By teaching dieters how to make small, incremental changes to their lifestyle and diet, dieters can see gradual weight loss with surprising ease. By making the adjustments that fit perfectly with a dieters individual lifestyle, activities and taste, and giving dieters an awareness of the calorific value of the foods they eat (and conversely of the exercise they do), dieters learn the relationship between their weight, diet and activity. Furthermore, feedback and information on the site provides dieters with the support, inspiration and insight they need to continue dieting successfully.

The real beauty of using a resource like Weight Loss Resources is that it flexibly fits into any diet plan you're already following. The type of resources that are featured on the site can be of practical use to almost every diet, and this ensures that users will continue to get benefits from their site membership, even if they change their diet. One of the best features of Weight Loss Resources is its vast collection of calorie and nutritional data relating to almost 10,000 food items and restaurant meals. This data is compiled from a wide range of international resources and allows users to get an accurate picture of exactly how the balance lies in their diet. Each food within this calorie calculator is displayed by way of a pie chart, illustrating the spread of calories in that food between the main nutritional areas (i.e. users can easily see if a food is protein rich, or carbohydrate rich, for example). Similarly, the food planner and diet analyzer tools display your daily diet in the same way, allowing you to see where the bulk of your calories are consumed, and thus how balanced your diet is. Whilst this tool is effective and easy to use, it is far form original, and similar tools are available for free on many other diet sites.

A similar picture exists in the field of fitness and exercise tools and support. Users have access to a great activity calculator, which allows them to work out exactly how many calories they expend both exercising and performing many every day tasks. We were particularly impressed by the way in which Weight Loss Resources encourages users to make small, incremental changes in fitness and activity, meaning that taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or walking to the grocery store count towards the daily exercise requirement. This holistic approach to exercise ensures that users feel motivated throughout the program. Users also benefit from a great set of fitness articles, reviews and resources, as well as fitness and exercise message boards to ensure that they are are motivated and sufficiently supported.

Weight Loss Resources provides a range of useful tools for tracking how many calories you are likely to have consumed by eating certain foods, and how many calories you are likely to have burned by performing certain physical activities. It also provides a range of interesting articles about health and fitness and an on-line forum where members can share experiences and provide one another with support. While it does offer a range of useful tools, we don't think its value quite warrants the £7.95 a month price tag, as many of the tools are available for free elsewhere on the internet.
