Every year we’d like hit the beach with confidence, but that six-pack looks like a keg and there’s no danger of being mistaken for a supermodel. So are there any magic fixes to get you that perfect beach bod? Nope. The good news is that if you work at it, and follow these tips, you can begin to change your body for the better in just a few weeks:

Cut your calories under your daily recommended intake by around 500 kcals per day. Avoid processed foods, opt for natural foods and as many fresh veg as possible.

Lay off the booze and drink 3-4 litres of ice cold water per day.

Lift some weights to increase your metabolism and burn calories. High Intensity Interval Training is a great way to increase your energy expenditure. Use a personal trainer for a few sessions and get a structured program for optimal results.
