Are you helping people to lose weight? Do you struggle to find clear, visual, easy-to-read and accurate resources? NDR-UK is delighted to announce the publication of Weight Loss You Can See! A food portion picture guide for a calorie-controlled diet.

Replacing Weight Loss On a Plate (Ref No: 9189, 9190, 9191), this resource has been developed by expert dietitians for those working in the area of obesity, is based on evidence and has been tested with peers and patients.

The resource has 3 components:

• Weight Loss You Can See! - explains what an energy deficit diet is and how to follow this diet together with photographs of food portions and handy measures.

• Pictorial Meal Plans – visually describes, using photos of real foods, what a specific calorie daily diet (meals and snacks) looks like in terms of food portions.

• Blank Food Diary - allows the individual to record their intake in a similar layout to that of the pictorial meal plans.

What peer-reviewers said…:
‘I think the pictorial pack provides excellent added value as portion control is what people seem to struggle with most. It is a very comprehensive set of pictures which will help people to visualise their daily intake for all food groups.’

Dietitian, England

During testing, patients commented that the resource was……’Clear, helpful, informative and great for getting the balance right’ and ‘Very helpful to actually visual portion sizes, full-fat and reduced-fat varieties and cooked and uncooked information.’

How much does it cost?
Only £1 per patient, demonstrating excellent value for money. This includes the main leaflet, a daily meal plan example and a 2 day blank diary. Click here for ordering information.

The pack is designed to help children, their parents, families and carers get the most out of an intensive insulin therapy and carbohydrate counting treatment plan.  By starting with the basics it supports children and their families as they build skills and confidence to adjust insulin with the carbohydrate in meals and snacks, helping them to self-manage through everyday life including activity, sports, school, stress and illness. 

Feedback throughout the development was very positive as centres eagerly awaited this new and dynamic resource.  One diabetes specialist nurse team commented that they ‘…love the workbooks, very clear, to the point, follow nicely in succession through factors in life and education. Covers everything and would be great to implement making family/child think through events, actions…’
