Try our Smart Swap-And-Slim plan and you could lose 7lb fast…

HOW IT WORKS

Research from the US Journal Of Obesity suggests that low-calorie fad diets don’t help us lose weight long-term. Slimmers are advised to make substitutions rather than cutting out food groups. Our Smart Swap-And- Slim plan is based on simple switches in your everyday meals. Follow it for a week and you could be 7lb lighter!

Nutritionist Britta Hochkeppel says, ‘Instead of cutting out food groups, make small changes – like only keeping healthy snacks in the house, never skipping meals, and filling up on wholesome, proteinbased soups to prevent cravings.’

Swap calorie-heavy white bread for rye bread, and choose intense dark chocolate when you want a sweet treat – it has the same calorie count as milk chocolate, but research reveals you’ll eat less of it!

Swap dairy milk for unsweetened almond milk for your cuppa, to save you 120 calories each day. Pile veggie sauces on to cauliflower or broccoli rice, cutting your calories from 180 to 50. Use roughcut mushrooms with the same texture as meat to trim off a hefty 200 calories.

Using a smaller plate can reduce as much as a third of the calories you consume each meal.

Try tucking into a big green salad before your main meal – research shows that you could cut the amount you consume by around 200 calories.
