IT ISN’T TOO LATE to trim your waistline before your holiday without resorting to a crash diet. This plan concentrates on veg-based meals with plenty of volume to help ill you up. You can expand them even further by adding a green salad with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar – if your meal looks big and takes longer to eat, research suggests you’re less likely to tuck into cakes and biscuits. Our nourishing snacks make every calorie count so you get a variety of nutrients, from carotenes to help protect your eyes and skin from the sun’s UV rays to minerals such as iron and selenium to boost your energy and antioxidant levels.
Drink plenty of water, especially on warm days, and have an extra 300ml skimmed milk, unsweetened almond milk or calcium-fortiied alternatives to meet daily calcium needs.
