I have long been an advocate of the Clean & Lean way of life. Without gimmicks or quick-fixes this is James Duigan’s (trainer to supermodels Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Elle Macpherson) fad-free approach to fat-loss, body-sculpting and health-boosting.
And, thanks to a newly revised edition of the original, best selling, diet book, it just got that little bit better (new recipes, freshly updated Bad, Better & Best columns and new contributions from celebrity clients).
Combining a diet rich in natural, nutrient-rich foods – you’ll be forced to cut the CRAP (caffeine, refined sugars, alcohol and processed foods) with a limb-elongating and stomach-flattening workout that can be done anytime, anywhere, Duigan promises your best ever body in just 14 days. And it really works. So much so, that 9 months after I was handed the original Clean & Lean plan I have yet to regain (in fat at least) the 9 lbs that I lost in those first 2-3 weeks. My eyes are brighter, skin clearer and plumper.
Prepare to be in it for the long haul though, because as you start to see results, your cravings subside and those last 5lbs melt away, you’ll realise this is the only lifestyle you’ll ever want to live.
