After some major indulgence last month, I decided it was time to take action as bikini season is looming once more. I turned to BodyChef for help with my diet as they offer a personalized diet delivery programme which provides all the calories you need, without the complication of having to weigh and measure everything yourself.
They have a wide selection of plans to choose from- 7 in total- which include a flat belly plan and a Low carb Diet Plan. I opted for the two week Vegetarian Plan as I wanted to shift pounds fast, but they also do 3 day, 4 day, 5 day and one week plans.

Cellulite is one of those universal problems that effects women of all shapes and sizes. There's nothing that can fix it permanently, as even liposuction can't change the appearance, but there are many things you can do that will reduce it on a daily basis. Endermologie has long since topped the list of treatments that are proved to be effective at reducing the sight of those lumps and bumps, so I was excited to finally have a chance to try it for myself.
I headed down to the C2 Clinic in Hampstead to try out the LipoMassage treatment, which uses the Endermologie machine to smooth and tauten the skin.

In a quest to get healthy and kick start a new lifestyle Zara has been trialling the Purifyne Juice fast detox programme. this is Day 6 and 7 of her adventures.
Day 6
I'm feeling incredibly fresh and revitalized, and the lack of food has left my head feeling extremely light and clearheaded. Nothing seems insurmountable and I blitz my mountain of work extremely quickly, sipping virtuously on my tea as I do so.
The combinations of pills and Aloe Vera juice have my eyes shining with vitality and though I have had nothing solid for days my energy seems to be pretty high. It's really good to assess what my body actually needs to function and the Purifyne detox has made me aware of how much I'm overeating on a regular basis.

I'm trialling out the Purifyne juice detox diet on a quest to get clearer skin and more energy. Read on for news of how I'm finding the programme!
Day 3
I wake up with a distinctly furry tongue and a severe lack of energy. I'm not normally a morning person so this was nothing particularly unusual but the fact that brushing my teeth made my tongue still feel like it had an extra growth was unpleasant. I'd run out of chamomile teabags so the morning enema was put off to the night, and I proceeded to swallow my mountain full of pills and supplements. I'm encouraged to have long baths and exercise but I was so tired a bath was all I could cope with.
I swigged my coconut water like a lifeline as the flavour really helped boost my flagging energy, and much of the morning was spent lolling in front of the TV watching bad shows.

With less than a week to go till Valentine's day, some of you may be starting to stress about fitting into that trusty LBD. Well, never fear, there's a way to look glowing and ravishing on the night that doesn't involve going under the knife. The Purifyne Juice fast Detox is a way to revitalize you body and soul, as it promises to clear up your complexion, streamline your digestion ( which will make you look slimmer) and supercharge your metabolism.
Purifyne is a drink detox system which allows you a certain number of vegetable and fruit juices a day, as well as a variety of pills and supplements to aid your body in cleansing itself. The idea is that a week without solid food will help your body kick start its digestive system and deep cleanse it of nasties and toxin build ups. A pleasant side effect of this is clearer skin and a slimmer silhouette, so this could be a great way for someone looking to start upon a healthier lifestyle.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Face & Body Clinic, as I had session of Ultratone with its lovely owner Shenaz Shariff last year. If anyone can make donning paper panties and lying supine on a table a comfortable experience it is she, so when I heard that her salon was now offering the DynaShape treatment I was quick to volunteer my porky abdomen to her soft fingers.
DynaShape is a relatively new treatment to hit the UK and sells itself as being a nonsurgical way of sculpting the body. This is done by using a Swiss produced machine that performs an endodermic massage on the areas you'd like slimmed down. For the non initiated this means that various interchangeable heads are used to activate the cell membranes in the tissue, and act as an intensive lymphatic drainage treatment with major skin tightening results as an outcome.

It's time to do something about that party season weight gain that still lingers from a summer full of Mojito's and over indulgence on BBQ food. With Christmas around the corner, now is not the best time to diet, but once that day has passed it should be all steam ahead to fit into that New Year outfit.
Nosh Detox stands for 'Natural, Organic,Safe and Healthy' and offers a diet delivery system that caters to a wide range of people, from vegetarians, to serial detoxers. You can opt from seven day juice fasts to handmade nutritionally balanced meals. I decided to try the ABC Programme - Alkalise, Balance & Cleanse, for 6 days. This involved daily deliveries of food, and a stringent list of pills to swallow and supplements to take. The first three days you're only allowed liquid food till 4pm, and the following days you eat raw food till 4pm.
