Two-week diet plan that will mean you look and feel great at Christmas party – Mirror Online
Want to look your best for the Christmas party? Its easier than you think. Whether you want to shed a few pounds or banish bloating for a flatter tum, our fast-acting plan will help you blitz up to 7lb roughly equivalent to one dress size in just two weeks.
Packed with foods that are both energising and tummy trimming, our plan ensures youll shed weight without feeling tired during the hectic festive season.
And all the recipes many of which are simply healthier versions of your favourite foods are super easy and quick to make.
Follow our daily meal plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus, to help keep cravings at bay, you can also select two snacks from our list. Dont fancy one of the meals on the schedule or dont have the ingredients handy? No problem. Simply swap in a meal of your choice from another day.
Youll eat around 1,400 calories a day a safe amount for healthy weight loss. No food groups are cut out and you can eat everything but in reasonable quantities, with lower amounts of fat and sugar.
The diet is also packed with filling high-fibre foods and lean protein, so you wont feel hungry and succumb to cravings. Plus, because its low in salt and filled with potassium-rich fruit and vegetables, it will also help you get rid of excess fluid and lose that uncomfortable bloated feeling meaning your dress will zip up that bit more easily.
1. Fill up on fibre
Food that stays undigested in your system longer than 24 hours can release gases that bloat your tummy. The answer is to eat plenty of fibre-rich fruit, veg and wholegrains as they help keep your digestive system working efficiently.
2. Chew more slowly
Its not just about what you eat, but also how you eat. Smaller bits of food are easier for your stomach to break down, and eating slowly gives your brain sufficient time to register when youre full, which can help prevent overeating.
3. Feed your gut
A probiotic supplement or daily yoghurt drink can help banish bloating by increasing the number of friendly bacteria in your gut, improving digestion and reducing IBS-type symptoms.
4. Slash salt levels
Salt is found in many shop-bought and processed foods, which is bad news for bloating as it encourages your body to retain water. Get label savvy and avoid foods with a high sodium content. When cooking use herbs and spices to add flavour to meals instead.
5. Ditch ready meals and fizzy drinks
The additives in processed foods and soft drinks ferment in your stomach, producing gas and a swollen belly bad news when youre trying to trim your tummy.
The rest is here:
