Overindulged over Christmas and New Year? Your clothes may be feeling uncomfortably tight. But the good news is it’s easier (and quicker!) to lose those extra pounds than you think. That’s because US nutritionist Haylie Pomroy, author of The Fast Metabolism Diet (£10.99, Vermilion), has developed a diet to help your metabolism burn fat. On her easy-to-follow plan you can expect to lose 7lb in just seven days, shed cellulite and build muscle, with no calorie counting. The plan works by using food to rev up a sluggish metabolism. You eat three satisfying meals and two snacks a day, but still lose weight.
And, for those with more to lose – or who want to kick-start the year with a healthier month – you can carry on the plan for another three weeks and lose up to 20lb in 28 days. With A-list clients including Jennifer Lopez and Reese Witherspoon, Haylie definitely knows how to get results.
