Sometimes, all it takes is a little lifestyle change to help shed those kilos.

Sure, these celebs also have the helping hands of personal trainers, probably a chef too, and at the very least a nutritional adviser or three.

But for us mere mortals, even the slightest change to our diets can make the world of difference.

Whether it’s giving up that frothy latte or a morning and getting your caffeine kick from a much lower-kilojoule instant coffee, or even something as simple as swapping a sweet, flavoured yoghurt for a low-fat, lower sugar Greek version, slowly incorporating healthier choices into our daily lives can be almost unnoticable!

Jessica Simpson famously enlisted Weight Watchers – the most well-known food-swapping diet to help keep your kilojoules in check – to help her lose baby weight. The program suggests not depriving yourself of the things you love, but making better choices. For example, forgo your milky morning cappuccino for a delicious House of Robert Timms instant coffee, available in supermarkets, or click here.

Former Mrs Geoffrey Eldesten, Brynne, recently shed a staggering 15kg to pour herself into bodycon dresses. Among her secrets? Cutting out fizzy drinks and opting for water.

Anne Hathaway famously once almost starved herself for a month and lost 11kg to play a dying prostitute in Les Miserables. She does not recommend you do that. These days, she’s all about strength, and even swapped her strictly vegan eating habits to follow the meat-heavy paleo diet to gain muscle for her role as an astronaut in Interstellar.

Khloe is now the proud owner of arguably the hottest Kardashian body. She admits she used to be a sucker for potato chips because she loved their “crunch” – but now she munches on raw nuts or peanut butter on apple slices instead.

Jennifer Hudson looked amazing at any size, but, as another devotee of the Weight Watchers method, she lost a staggering 10 dress sizes and now has a banging bikini bod (see next slide).

The singer says that whenever a junk-food craving hit, she would have two cups of light, unsalted popcorn.
