Follow our 2-week menu planner and lose up to half a stone!

Everyone wants to look and feel great ready for the summer months. But, if the thought of wearing your bikini or swimming trunks sees you diving for cover rather than diving into a pool... the Asparagus Diet is just for you! British Asparagus (available from the beginning of May until the end June) tastes great, is virtually fat free, wonderfully low in calories and bursting with important vitamins and minerals – making it the prefect choice for anyone watching their weight this summer.

Never Feel Hungry!

Yup – you read that right but to be sure, we’ll tell you again. You will never feel hungry on this diet! Sounds too good to be true? Well, this 2-week plan was specially designed to keep you feeling full for longer. It’s based on slow release carbs and lean protein-rich foods to keep hunger pangs at bay. Additionally, as asparagus has a slight diuretic effect, you’ll need to drink lots of water on this plan. Great for two reasons: water is so good for you – we should all drink at least 6 glasses of the stuff a day… but seldom do. Secondly, it’s easy to confuse thirst for hunger so by drinking more water on the Asparagus Diet, you’ll avoid this easy mistake and ban a biscuit tin binge!

An easy way to five a day

We all know that eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day can reduce the risk of many different types of cancer. Saying and doing it though isn’t always the same thing! The good news is that just 5-6 asparagus spears counts as one portion. Easy to consume as either a quick starter or snack, this really makes asparagus a great contender for your 5-a-day plan.
