Ladies suffering from gym phobia will be glad to hear that you can lose weight without having to break into a sweat.

Follow these tips and you’ll be a skinny Minnie in no time!

Eat your snacks out of a bowl
If you are treating yourself to some crisps, pour them ino a bowl rather than eating them out of the packet. This way you will know exactly how much you have eaten and won't get a shock when you suddenly realise that the bag is empty.

Don’t supersize
When going for a takeaway, always say no to the large meal. No room for supersize when you are on a mission.

Drink plenty of water
Sometimes we think we are hungry when in fact we are just thirsty. Drink plenty of water so you won’t get confused between when it’s time to eat and when it’s time to drink.

Be a vegetarian for a day
Try to incorporate at least one vegetarian meal into your weekly meal plans. Stuffed peppers or a vegetable lasagne are just as filling as a chicken curry.

Don’t stuff your face
Consume enough food that you feel satisfied, not like you are going to explode.

Eat your brekkie
Never, ever skip on the most important meal of the day – breakfast. This will stop you snacking on carbs in the afternoon.

Go for a walk
It is also important you do some moderate exercise three times a week, so skip the lift and grab the stairs or get off the bus or train one or two stops before yours.
