It’s very easy to adopt an all-or-nothing mind-set with dieting, so once you’ve slipped up a couple of times, you may decide to stop depriving yourself and eat whatever you like, only for the scales to creep up and your jeans to fit a little tighter.

But all is not lost as nutritional therapist Chris Newbold has devised the perfect plan to drop a dress size in 7 days with his own damage control diet. With this diet you’ll learn how to lose weight, but in the healthiest way possible with tips to make sure that your body stays in the best shape possible when the week is over.

This weight loss plan is a good option if you’re looking for a diet that works fast. But, bear in mind there are also other diet and exercise plans, which offer a more long-term approach to losing weight and improving health  – like the 16:8 diet, the Mediterranean diet and the keto diet.

How to drop a dress size in seven days

Get back into a routine

This means eating three square meals a day, not grazing all day as this will help you carefully control the calories that you’re eating.

Eat fresh, quality food

Cut out all processed foods and ready meals. They might be convenient, but they’re full of additives, chemicals and sugars. Go for lean meats like chicken that are organically sourced.

Eat large amounts of vegetables

Make each meal around 70 per cent vegetables (this will provide healthy carbs) and around 30 per cent good-quality protein – e.g. chicken, fish, chickpeas, beans, tofu, etc. Use healthy fats, including olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, avocado and occasionally a tiny bit of butter. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Cut down on stimulants

Chris Newbold also recommends giving up alcohol – not only is it high in calories, but we tend to lose our motivation for eating the best foods on a hangover.

Coffee, should also be avoided as the caffeine in these might help you stay awake but they won’t help you lose weight.

The caffeine is likely to lead to poor sleep and sugar cravings, both of which aren’t productive if you want to lose weight.

Don’t snack between meals

The latest research shows that fasting between meals allows the body to burn more calories and speeds up weight loss.

This is because if we don’t snack between meals, our insulin levels go down. This forces fat cells to release stored sugar to be used as energy, therefore burning fat without even having to do any exercise. Also known as intermittent fasting, the idea of not snacking between meals is to allow your insulin levels to deplete just enough so that we use up this stored sugar and burn fat.

However, if you have any signs or symptoms of type 2 diabetes this is not a safe way to lose weight.

Replenish lost nutrients

Take a daily multivitamin to give your vitamin intake a boost. Try Biocare adult multivitamins & minerals, £25.99 for 90, and Biocare Bio-antioxidant 2000, £17.98 for 30.

Look after your gut

Erratic eating can throw gut bacteria out of balance, but you need plenty of good bacteria to lose weight more effectively. Try Biocare Bioacidophilus (a probiotic), £21.35 for 60 capsules.
