The last of the mince pies have been scoffed and theres no more fizz in the fridge.

Its that dreaded time of year again, when all weve done for the last weeks (OK, month) is eat everything in sight and drink ourselves silly.

But rather than embarking on the latest fad diet, Instagram sensation Graeme Tomlinson, AKA the Fitness Chef, insists theres another way.

Thats right, you can shed the pounds without going on a diet.

Not only that but you can still eat your favourite foods, including pizza, chocolate and ice-cream.

Graeme, from Aberdeen, has hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and has even launched his own book in a bid to get his message out as widely as possible.

He wants to make losing weight as easy to understand as possible and demystify the diet industry.

Graeme explained: I wanted to break it down so people can understand it.

There is so much rubbish out there and I wanted to tell them that theres only one way you can lose weight and thats with a calorie deficit.

People feel deprived and thats when they give up and start to binge but you dont need to feel deprived.

So, whats the secret to losing weight without going on a diet?

Its super simple just eat fewer calories than you use.

And, insists Graeme, it doesnt matter where you get these calories from.

So gone are the grim Januarys, eating nothing but lettuc, you can still tuck into your favourite pizza.

Worried about going out for a curry? Dont be, just make sure you eat fewer calories in the days leading up to your treat.

But the absolutely vital thing you have to be able to do to make this work for you is to know exactly how many calories there are in the foods you eat.

The former professional cricketer admits this can be tricky at first as some so-called health foods can actually be laden with calories.

And the calories in every day treats, like your morning coffee or that office biscuits or even sauces, can soon add up.

But Graeme says as soon as people start to make themselves aware of how many calories are in most of their food, it becomes easy very quickly.

He explained: The best diet for people to follow is the one they can stick to.

People need to be more aware of the nutritional aspect of the food they are eating.

It does time initially to work out how many calories are in what you are eating but eventually it will come naturally and youll be able to tell just by looking.

Before launching his hugely successful social media carer, Graeme worked as a personal trainer.

It was the sheer volume of companies selling diet products and plans that inspired him to offer his own advice on his own page.

His inspirational posts cover everything from how many calories are in your favourite fast foods, to coffees to so-called super foods.

Graeme makes it clear that nothing is off limits from chocolate and ice-cream to bread and burgers as long as you know how many calories they contain and adjust your diet to make sure youre in a deficit.

He explained: People start looking at eating chocolate as bad but if they know its 250 calories and they know what their calorie allowance is for that day and they know its not great nutrition, they can eat something more nutritious later in the day.

Graeme wont classify any food as bad for your but he does sadmit the protein rich foods will fill you up for longer and make you less likely to eat too much.

These include lean meat, chicken or fish, eggs, beans and legumes and seeds and nuts.

Exercise can also help burn extra calories and burn off what youve put into your body.

Greame said: Exercise and any movement is key but that doesnt mean you have to join a gym or get a personal trainer.

Walking 10,000 steps a day is a great way to burn calories and you also burn calories just by breathing a talking and sleeping everything you do requires energy.
