The 5:5:5 diet

WHAT IS IT?

Designed by UK nutritionist Angela Dowden, this eating plan – reportedly followed by Jennifer Aniston – encourages us to ditch the traditional three meals a day philosophy for five smaller portions jam-packed with fruit and veg.

“The science behind the 5:5:5 is very simple – it’s about eating more healthy fruit and veg, particularly high-fibre, low-cal greens, that fill you up and help keep you trim,” Angela says. “It’s also about having regularly spaced meals and snacks every day to keep hunger at bay."

THE BENEFITS

Not only does this diet claim to help you lose up to 2kg in just one week, it’s also said to lower the risk of heart disease and cancer. Plus, it boosts energy levels.
