The following days, the motto is “Zero sugar, zero alcohol, zero starch…" It’s not funny, but what do you want? It really works. You slim down fast. Ideally, you should do this during 5-6 days/ And you will deffo have three kilos less on your butt.

• Tea time: coca light
• Evening: as much fish as you like + green veggies.

The dilemma of a foodie who does not cook: « Cooking is not my thing. Result, if I don’t go to the restaurant, I get an Uber to deliver my meal or then pick something up at the caterer. So when I feel bloated, I’m careful for 2 days, but never go behind an oven »

Her winning solution: yummy extra light dishes, concocted by the new boutique 5/2 à la française, to be delivered 2 days in a row wherever you want. Reminder: this super clever method consists in eating lighter meal 2 days a week (500 calories/ day) and normally the 5 following days. A rather honest deal.

On the menu?

DAY 1: nothing in the morning. At 1pm, a great comfort ratatouille (veggies, quinoa, olive oil). Before 9pm, a small seasonal salad (cucumber, chick pea, Paris mushrooms, fennel, avocado, salad, noisettes).

DAY 2: same thing, zap breakfast. At lunch, veggie lasagna and gluten-free. In the evening, a small salad. And that’s IT. Flat tummy for sure, big pride, you feel less tight in your clothes and start off on a good base for the next 5 days.
