Forget willpower, counting calories, curbing carbs and basically restricting yourself to anything boo-ring – diets almost always fail. Our fave foodie Susie Burrell has created three easy eating plans for, well err, girls who don’t like diets (like us).

"I think its a pretty good diet, but agrees that there should be 3 small snacks in between the meals ..."

  • I have been on a similar healthy eating regime and have lost 8k since mid May. The first week is the hardest but once you form the habit of not eating high fat or sugar snacks and eating smaller size nightly meals, it is not that difficult. The results are so rewarding!!

  • The key is exercise. You can eat all the healthy food you want but for a lot of women the only thing that helps take the weight off is exercise. Moderate exercise (fats-pasced walking) for 60 minutes every day will aid the dieting and weight loss will occur.

  • How anyone is supposed to survive on a vita weat for lunch or one tub of yoghurt for breakfast is beyond me. There should be more snacks. Three snacks a day is fine as long as they are less than 200 calories. Snacking helps keep hunger at bay. The more hungry you are the more you will indulge and blow out with the next meal! This diet i think will leave people feeling hungry and therefore be a disaster.

  • If you're not starving yourself that sounds like quite an adequate diet - and yes you would choose one option not all three. At least you would be eating a good variet of food as well as not restricting yourself too much. However, depending on activity levels it might not even be enough, it's all for the individual. And if you've been eating less & not losing weight you might not be actually eating enough.

  • This looks great - combined with the recommended 30mins of exercise a day I think any gorgeous girl could work some magic with this one!
