Put off your new season slimdown and now in a panic? This clever plan promises fast results
YOUR SPEEDY SHAPE-UP

You might have heard the saying ‘summer bodies are made in winter’, but it can be a lot harder to shift weight during the chilly season. With Christmas, comfort eating on the sofa during those long evenings and, of course, Easter, reaching your goals can feel impossible. Warmer weather making you now regret all of that chocolate? Don’t worry! Whether you want a selfesteem boost in time for wearing your summer wardrobe or your holiday is fast approaching, this quick-fix plan will have you looking and feeling great. The best part? You don’t need to skimp on flavour or fullness.

HOW IT WORKS

Eating plenty of lean protein – think chicken, turkey, fish, eggs and beans – and fiber-loaded fruit and veg will keep you feeling fuller for longer, while also ramping up a sluggish digestion that could be impeding your weight loss. And for an extra boost, the addition of chilli, ginger and cinnamon will create a thermogenic effect (the generation of heat), which will speed up the burn of an extra 200 calories a day – clever!

The plan

Start the day with a glass of warm water spiked with fresh ginger slices and aim to drink at least 2ltr of fluid each day. It can be water, herbal or fruit tea – add ¼tsp honey if you need to. 

MONDAY

BREAKFAST 

2 eggs, scrambled, with 1tsp paprika, 2 mushrooms, chopped and grilled, and 2 grilled cherry tomatoes.

LUNCH

Small carton of spicy parsnip soup, served with 2 Ryvita Thins.

DINNER
