Kerry Katona transformed her body on Closer’s low sugar diet. Now you can follow the plan too, and it couldn’t be easier – the meals take just 15 minutes to prepare.

Just choose one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner and two snacks each day - vary your choices to make sure you get all the nutrients you need to stay healthy. If you’re hungry, fill up on veggies – you can eat most in unlimited amounts, except for potatoes, parsnips, peas, sweetcorn, baked beans and other pulses.

Behind-the-scenes at Kerry's EXCLUSIVE Closer shoot

You don’t have to eat all of the food recommended for each meal in one sitting. For example, you could save a piece of fruit for later on. As well as your meals and snacks, it’s important you have 300ml skimmed milk a day (use it to make a shake by combining it with some of the fruit in the plan).

The recipes serve one and tablespoon and teaspoon measurements should be level where 1tbsp = 15ml and 1tsp = 5ml.
