2 weeks to a slimmer, fitter you

Just two weeks to go before you reach your goal -- of becoming slimmer and fitter in eight weeks time.

We already prescribed a diet/ exercise regime for Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5 and Week 6.

In the final week, ie Week 8, we will prescribe your routine depending on what suits you best. This routine will also help maintain your weight.

Now, we tell you what you need to do in Week 7.

Food checklist

Keep the same plan going. Make sure you are getting the following foods into your system on a daily basis:

  • Fibre through cereals, wholegrain toast and rotis for roughage and energy
  • Nuts for essential fatty acids
  • Veggies for vitamins and minerals
  • Eggs/ soya/ tofu/ paneer/ fish/ chicken for protein
  • Fruits for simple carbohydrates that give you energy
  • WATER! Eight glasses for better functioning of the digestive system
