Look Great Without Dieting

In my book, ‘101 Thing to do Before You Diet’, I explore exactly how to look, feel and be slimmer without resorting to fad diets. Here are five sure-fire ways to fight the flab without driving yourself mad…

Rouge Tip: Invest in a new bra. If you always look saggy and baggy by lunchtime a new bra will instantly improve your shape under your clothes.

Pass it on – hairstyles to slim your face
• If you have a round face, avoid a bob that curves to the chin, keep it a little longer than your jawline.
• A side parting allows hair to frame your face with a softer, slanting line, breaking up a round-face look.
• Layering can help soften your appearance, but make sure no layers are shorter than your chin so that your face does not look too ball-like.

Step-by-step

  1. 1. Eat protein at breakfast.

    An egg. A sliver of smoked salmon. Ham. It doesn’t matter. This WORKS.

  2. 2. Have soup for lunch.

    Renowned studies have shown that soup fills you up and keeps you there. Replace that sloppy lunchtime sarnie with soup throughout the week and watch the pounds pile off.

  3. 3. Dress thin.

    You’d be surprised how many of us wear clothes that make us look wide and bottom-heavy. For example, did you know that vertical stripes make you look wider? Surprised? It’s been scientifically proven!

  4. 4. Order one pudding, two forks…

    there is no reason not to treat yourself from time-to-time – just do it with awareness, with moderation and a happy heart. That way, you’ll never feel deprived, never feel hungry, and (brilliantly) never feel fat.

  5. 5. Keep your hormones happy.

    Amongst many other things, hormones govern your appetite, your sleep cycle and your metabolic rate – get a handle on them and approaching food with a healthy positive outlook will be a lot easier.
