Hello. I have news. I am on a diet.

I can hear your eyes roll in the back of your head as you sigh ‘again’. Well, this time it is different. I swear.

That’s because I am actually following a diet program. I don’t think I’ve ever done one before. I’ve never done Slimfast or Slimming World or anything else. I’ve always just eaten less and moved more. It’s been pretty evident that this isn’t working for me, so when I was contacted to do the So Shape Challenge, I had a bit of a think about it, asked them some questions and then said YES.

So Shape is simpler than what I initially thought. You can opt for a 5-day, 14-day or 28-day challenge. I wanted to try the 28-day one, but because I was unsure if I would like it, I went for the 14-day one.

How it works is you swap out two meals for a So Shape meal and have a normal meal.

The So Shape meals come in many flavours. There are sweet shakes, frappes, soups and main courses such as cheesy pasta and risotto. Each one has around 200 calories and 20g of protein, plus lots of other vitamins and minerals to keep you feeling great all day.

They come in the triangle packets that you can see below. They don’t need storing in a fridge or freezer, you just add water and shake for some, and add water and microwave for others.

There’s also a selection of foods you can have as a snack – these are mostly low-calorie vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatos, and low-fat high-protein foods such as prawns, tuna, 0% fat yogurt.

So I’m currently on day two, so I’ll let you know how it goes.

Enjoy twice as many flavors with the custom option included on 14 and 28 days Challenge if you use: SLIMMEDCARTREECUSTOM
