The bikini diet plan: food to avoid
Want to lose weight quickly with Woman and home magazine's bikini diet plan? Here are the foods to avoid.
- Potatoes - and no sweet potatoes either. Sorry, but you’ll thank us for it later.
- Sugar - skip it in all its disguises and drop it from tea and coffee too.
- Dairy - this includes all cheeses, butter, cream, yogurt and milk, even goat’s and sheep’s cheese! Use soya or rice milk if need be.
- Wheat - bread, pasta, biscuits, pies and pastries are going to slow your weight loss down, so skip it for now.
- Processed foods - that includes ready-meals, processed meats, cakes, pastries and desserts.
- Coffee and tea - use decaff if you can't give up totally, but make sure the caffeine has been removed using the water process method.
- Naughty dressings - that means ready-made sauces, salad dressings, mayonnaise and table sauces.
- No frying. Grilling is fine, steaming is better and if you’re stir-frying then use a little vegetable stock.
- No oil when you cook. Use a little olive oil in dressings, but don’t cook with any kind.
