If you find weight is creeping back on, maybe because you’ve been a little relaxed with your eating, simply go back on the Celebrity Slim™ program.

Because the Celebrity Slim™ program is a different way of eating, some people can become a bit constipated. If this happens to you there are several things you can do: Ensure you are drinking plenty of water – at least 2 litres per day; make sure you are eating plenty of allowable vegetables – at least 4 serves a day.

One of the ingredients in Celebrity Slim™ shakes, soups and bars is ‘skim milk powder’ which does contain lactose, so the shakes are not suitable if you have a lactose intolerance.
