Description

Everyone has those times when they want to lose their love handles quickly - to get back in their jeans, lose weight put on over Christmas, or look fantastic for a special occasion or a holiday. Joanna Hall shows people how to achieve this and, more importantly, how to make sure the weight doesn't go straight back on. Tried and tested on 12 volunteers, "Drop a Size in Two Weeks Flat!" includes: a 14-day "Get Your Rear In Gear" plan to drop a dress size - an exercise routine that fits easily into your day, a starch curfew plan (no carbohydrates after 5pm), a diet plan including simple lunches, light evening meals and snacks, foods to avoid and "quick fixes" (fashion tricks, treatments and so on); a "maintenance" system - how to keep your body trim in the long term using a simple points system, so you can eat the foods you want while keeping up the starch curfew and tips on how to maintain the good habits of the 14-day plan using the 80/20 system - you only have to be good 80 per cent of the time; and "Damage Limitation" - how to minimize the harm when away on business trips, cooking for a family, entertaining or eating out. Joanna Hall has designed a simple plan which suits the way we actually live, is extremely healthy, does not encourage poor dietary habits and stresses the need to get active to get healthy.
