EAT BBQ food and lose 7lb

This simple summer diet means you can enjoy lots of sizzling treats and still drop a dress size

- 

Usually, dieting over the summer can be particularly difficult. While others are enjoying juicy burgers and meaty kebabs, it’s no fun if you feel you have to miss out. This easy-to-follow diet* is the answer. Now, you can embrace al fresco eating and enjoy all the chargrilled thrills, just without the added fat and calories. Plus, there’s minimal prep, so you won’t be sweating over countless ingredients and missing out on all the fun. Tuck in!

WHAT TO DO

1 Choose one calorie-controlled breakfast (approx 250 cals), one lunch (approx 350 cals) and a dinner (approx 500 cals) every day from the lists. Opt for which meal you’d like as your barbecue option and, of course, cook indoors if you prefer!

2 You can have a pot of fat-free fruit yogurt or 300ml skimmed milk a day – and also use the milk for tea and coffee, but don’t have any other calorie-containing drinks. You’ll have 100 calories spare to use each day – see our snack list for suggestions, or choose your own.

HOW IT WORKS

This plan is packed with lean protein, veggies and salad that will help to fill you up.

Barbecuing gets rid of excess fat, while keeping meat tasty, so you don’t need to add fattening sauces.

It’s low in refined sugars and carbs, but includes modest amounts for energy and digestive health.
