Skinny Mini Countdown

Ultra skinny mini countdown is a liquid detox plan during which you can still eat three healthy meals a day.

Rules

The Skinny Mini Solution is full of ingredients like Guarana, white tea and fennel which help flush out your system and speed up your metabolism as well as helping to protect your body from nasty free radicals.

It’s a simple plan to follow: dilute the Skinny Mini solution into a litre of water which you then drink throughout the day, every day for ten days.

As well as ensuring you’ll be consuming a healthy amount of water each day, the solution also fills you up so when meal times arrive, appetite is suppressed and you eat much less than normal. You should lose around 2-3 kilos in ten days.

Ultra Skinny Mini Countdown, £29.99

Pros

During the detox you are allowed three healthy meals per day and you can also snack on nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables. You can choose to drink the whole litre first thing in the morning but we found it more effective when spread out through the day.

Cons

The solution isn’t exactly pleasant and tastes like watery vinegar - the first few days are hard work. A good tip is to make the drink more palatable by keeping it as cold as possible - in the fridge - and decanting one glass at a time. A warm swig of this stuff would definitely put you off. You’re allowed to make the solution a little weaker every couple of days – once you are through the first few days it’s definitely more bearable.
