| Get into shape with any of these healthy delivery eating plans |
DISCOVER which delivery eating plan could help you shape up for summer.
WE HAVE all done it - vowed to drop 7lb before we step foot on a beach in week’s time. But a new study shows that 41 per cent of Britons who try to diet ahead of their holidays fail miserably.
The study, carried out by online travel agency sunshine.co.uk, found that almost half of respondents didn’t start to diet until a month before their trip, while one in five left themselves just a week to get in shape.

| Prepared food takes away the temptation for dieters |
Participants claimed the main reasons for the failure was not being able to resist temptation. If you can’t say no to second helpings or always want a calorific dessert, it maybe time to let someone else do the cooking.
Delivery diets involved having pre-prepared food or juice brought directly to your door each day. The calorie controlled programmes, which remove all temptation, can help you lose up to five pounds in just one week.
It is a trend already popular with celebrities including Elle Macpherson Gwyneth Paltrow, Suki Waterhouse and Jo Wood. Earlier this year, Beyonce even announced the launch of her own vegan delivery diet. We’ve selected the best on the market to help you shape up in time for summer.
