Lose that little bit of weight before the party season gets underway and you'll be able to enjoy all that turkey, chocolate and Christmas pud without feeling guilty. Plus, those gorgeous sparkly black dresses we want to wear on New Year's Eve would look so much better if only we were a couple of kilos lighter...

The only problem is that when it's cold and grey, motivation can be low and no-one wants to feel drained of life from fad dieting with Christmas just around the corner. Well, we've devised a complete eating plan to help you shift up to 2 kilos (that's 4.4lb if you haven't gone metric!) in 2 weeks, without exhausting or starving yourself.

Have a look how it works and check out a typical day's menu, plus eating plans for Week 1 and Week 2 of the diet. Then all you need to do is pick out a dress and you'll be ready to dazzle on the dancefloor through the Christmas and New Year festivities!
