To help kick-start the New Year The CT has teamed up with dietcare to offer 40 lucky readers a free diet and lifestyle check.

When the fun of the Christmas festivities is over, thoughts inevitably turn to the New Year and goals set for the coming months.

And if losing weight is top of your list of resolutions for 2010 then this competition could help you succeed.

Dietcare is giving away a free diet and lifestyle check worth £14.95.

This comprehensive check includes weight and body frame check, full body measurement, body mass index assessment, food analysis check, diet analysis and advice.

And the dietcare team will also provide you with exercise information, constructive ideas for a healthier lifestyle and an introduction to the dietcare weight loss course.

Northern Ireland’s newest approach to weight loss, dietcare has its roots in healthy eating and is the only diet which offers one to one counselling for guaranteed success.

All diets are tailored to suit the customer and carefully devised by a team of top dieticians.

Well-known in the Northern Ireland slimming world, Belfast woman Denise Drummond-Scott first brought dietcare to Northern Ireland earlier this year.

Speaking to The CT she said: “dietcare’s founder Norah Lane has won a number of top awards because of her expertise in helping people lose weight.

“I was really impressed by her whole approach, which is very holistic and involves no gimicks or products — just a simple healthy eating plan, with a supportive mentoring course to help people change their eating habits and lose weight with ease.

“Many clients are surprised to be told they are not eating enough and we are delighted by the success we have experienced so far in our clinics.

“We also have a special diet to help Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) sufferers which is also proving very successful.”

All dietcare advisors have training from the Royal Society of Public Health and the diet itself is listed in the British Medical Journal.
