How to fake a diet

[MaryJane]

There are plenty of non-diet ways to create an illusion of a trimmer you.

1. GET SOME MAGIC KNICKERS

Bridget Jones swore by her granny pants and Gwynnie praised her power panties after giving birth to baby Apple.

Even though they may look more surgical than sexy, if the stars swear by them then so should you.

2. WRAP UP, SLIM DOWN

If you can spare time for a trip to salon then try a wrap treatment that instantly sheds pounds.

Mariah Carey is a fan of the Shapechangers detox wrap that claims to draw out toxins using sea clay.

The weightloss through water is extremely minimal, so you won’t put on pounds by drinking a glass of water. You can lose inches from your body and pounds.

3. BEAT THE BLOAT

Just one day before the party you can flatten your stomach by reducing water retention.

The day before avoid salty foods, carbs and sugar and drink plenty of water.

To help things along, massage a marine extracts + caffeine lotion into thighs and tummy - marine extracts reduce water retention and caffeine stimulates fat-fighting.

4. MAKE A STAND

Maintaining a good posture will instantly make you look slimmer and up to three centimetres taller.

Practise by standing with shoulder-width apart with your head directly over your shoulders and shoulders over the pelvis, keep your core muscles taught.

5. HAVE A TAN

It works for Victoria Beckahm, and fake tan will work wonders to make you look thinner, too.

Use a lotion at home or treat yourself to a salon spray tan. The latest from St Tropex is the fake tanning body contouring technique.

After a quick all-over spray tan you are then tanned in strategic points on the limbs and stomach to create the illusion of a more sculpted and muscular body.

6. DO IT WITH MAKE-UP

By enhancing the size of your eyes, lips and cheekbones you’ll create the illusion of a thinner face.

Curl eyelashes to open out the eyes and even try applying fake lashes to really vamp up your look.

Boost lips with a plumper and a slick of your favourite lip gloss.

Use highlighter on the cheekbones and brow bones.
