Your speedy HOLIDAY SHAPE-UP

Our healthy summer weight-loss plan is packed with flavour and will help you to feel amazing - fast

- 

Oops! Have you forgotten to diet and your holiday is just days away? No problem! Our plan promises quick results while still filling you up. How? Eating plenty of lean protein - think chicken, turkey, fish, eggs and beans - and fibre-loaded fruit and vegetables will ramp up a sluggish digestion that could be impeding your weight loss. Add chilli, ginger and cinnamon, and the thermogenic effect (in other words, the generation of heat) they have on the body will speed up the burn by up to an extra 200 calories a day. Our menu choices below are super tasty but designed to help you to feel better in your holiday wardrobe. Sounds like a win-win to us.

YOUR 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 tsp honey if you need to.
