DROP 10LB YES! 10LB IN A WEEK

Finding it hard to shift the winter weight? Kick-start your spring weight-loss with this brand-new diet…

We’re not suggesting you tackle an assault course before breakfast but to try the Military Diet Plan – so called because of having to stick to a disciplined three-day diet. Eat what you like for the rest of the week, as long as it totals no more than 1,500 calories daily. Our version of the plan will have you looking shipshape in just seven days and you could lose up to 10lb!

HOW IT WORKS

1 The Military Diet could put you on course to better eating habits by trimming down your calorie count to just under 1,000 calories for three days, then keeping to 1,500 for the rest of the week.

2 There’s no link to the military, but the strict regime of eating just three small meals a day may not be for the faint-hearted.

3 Water will help keep you hydrated while you slim and your digestive system ticking over properly so you stay regular!

4 You can drink tea and coffee on the plan, but choose good quality blends you can drink black and substitute sugar for a plantbased sweetener, such as Stevia.

5 Nutritionist, diet book author and consultant to the Special Forces Monica Grenfell says, ‘It’s important to make healthy choices to ensure you’re giving your body the vitamins and minerals it needs.’

6 Aim to exercise at least three times a week for 20 minutes.
