what to eat

THE main way to blitz back fat is through your diet, says nutritionist Shona Wilkinson ( shonawilkinson. com). Try eating half a grapefruit: they lower insulin, a fat storage hormone, and contain plenty of water to help keep you hydrated. Meanwhile, swap coffee for a green tea. It is full of antioxidants and is thought to aid weight loss. Green tea also contains theanine, which works as a relaxant — ideal if your weight gain is linked to stress. Soup is your weightloss friend. Try one containing protein and plenty of vegetables. Research by the University of Pennsylvania in 2007 showed that eating the same food made in a soup, instead of solid food, makes people feel more satisfied and eat fewer calories.
