Our easy-to-follow Diet Plans promote healthy eating habits you can maintain for life.
Simply select the type of diet you prefer and we’ll help you build a personalised Diet Plan based on your unique diet profile and weight loss goals.
For a diet to work, it needs to be simple and flexible. Our Diet Plans give you the freedom to swap some of our meal suggestions for your own, and our Meal Builder will calculate the number of calories each meal contains.
Our flexible, realistic diet plans will never leave you hungry. Designed for real people – and for healthy, sustained weight loss - we offer three distinct diets. Chose the one that’s right for you, and start losing weight now.
Choose the diet that suits you best:

When we eat, our blood sugar levels rise, making us feel full and full of energy. Foods with a low Glycemic Index (GI) increase blood sugar levels gradually and keep them steady for longer. Eating low GI foods mean you’re controlling your sugar intake and will feel fuller for longer, rather than the sugar rush-and-crash that accompanies that mid-afternoon chocolate bar! |

Best For
Almost everyone. Low GI diets are especially recommended for diabetics and people at risk of diabetes. This is also the diet for overweight chocoholics – Low GI foods actually reduce your cravings for sugary and processed food. |
![]()
Best Avoided
Pregnant women should seek advice before undertaking any diet. Otherwise, a low GI diet is good for everyone. |
![]()
Diet Approach
Where possible, eat low GI foods. If you consume high GI foods, always do so in conjunction with low GI foods – it helps ward off the urge to snack later. Be careful – some low or mid GI foods might be loaded with saturated fats. Best avoided, obviously! |

"I live a busy life with work, going out. I was drawn to ALF because it is so convenient. I just had to print my plan, i could change it if i wanted and i knew that everything was portion and calorie controlled. This took all the guesswork out for me. I have lost my weight and now use the maintenance program."
