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.
MONDAY
BURN-IT-UP BREAKFAST
2 eggs, scrambled, with 1tsp paprika, 2 mushrooms, chopped and grilled, and 2 cherry tomatoes, grilled.
LOSE MORE AT LUNCH
Small carton of spicy parsnip soup, served with 2 Ryvita Thins.
NICE AND SPICY SUPPER
Turkey chilli, made with 30g lean turkey mince, small tin tomatoes, 1tsp garlic puree, 1tsp chilli flakes, 2tbsp red kidney beans. Serve with 3tbsp cooked brown rice and a small green salad.
STAY HYDRATED
When you drink very cold drinks, the body uses up calories by bringing them up to body temperature. You could lose more than a pound in three months simply by swapping two litres of water at room temperature each day to the same amount with loads of ice. Try adding the zest of a lemon or lime to add flavour.
