Chants's top tips

1.Pay close attention, especially on Detox Day, to your fluid intake!
2.Don't forget to excercise for at least 15 minutes 2-3 times a week!
3.When the going gets a little tough, cast your mind back to when you decided to start dropping your weight and the reasons for it... that'll give you a little kick to keep trying!
4.I've bought a gorgeous little dress (which I would never wear normally!!) which is 2 sizes smaller than I am at the moment(From a UK 16 to a UK 12), when I am able to fit into that dress, I know I have made it to my GOAL!

About / History

This is a diet I used to follow in South Africa from THE FIRM. It is the only diet that I have followed since and I have noticed, although really difficult to begin with, it gets easier as the days go on. You never feel hungry (except on Detox day) and by the second week you can definatly feel that you have lost some weight. I lost on average about 1.5lbs a week on this diet!
