Today is the first day of Lent and over the next 40 days you can lose a few lbs just by going without a tasty treat or two.
It does take willpower and it’s best not to keep the treats you have a knee weakness for in sight, but you can do it.
Healthy Food Guide nutritional expert Juliette Kellow gives some great insight into the lbs you could lose just by ditching a daily treat for 40 days. Here’s just a few examples…
Ditch it: two chocolate digestive biscuits and lose: 2lb
Ditch it: small bar of chocolate (50g) and lose: 3lb
Ditch it: large packet of crisps (50g) and lose: 3lb
Ditch it: large glass of dry white wine (250ml) and lose: 2lb
Ditch it: can of cola (330ml) and lose: 1.5lb
I’m really going for it this Lent and cutting out all sweet things and crisps too. If a few lbs fall off too, even better. Who’s joining me?
