With the temptation of delicious ice creams and calorific cocktails, it isn't always easy to lose weight in the summer. Feeling self-conscious about swapping tights and trousers for shorts and floaty dresses? You don't have to be! With this easy-to-follow eating plan,* you could lose up to 5lb in just two weeks. Not only will you look great, but you'll feel it, too. What are you waiting for?
HOW IT WORKS
To blast fat from your body, this simple diet is calorie-controlled to approximately 1,200 calories a day.
You won't go hungry, as it contains appetite-curbing lean proteins along with high-fibre foods, such as whole grains, which help to fill you up and provide slow-release energy.
The potassium-rich foods in the plan help to debloat and lose unwanted puffiness. Plus, colourful fruit and vegetables, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, help to firm and smooth your thighs.
WHAT TO DO
Have one breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner daily. You're allowed one or two snacks per day if you're still hungry. Choose from the box below.

Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly.
