Stay slim and cool with our favourite warm weather hints
You may think the most tempestuous time of year for dieters is the stretch of festivities beginning with Christmas. You hope that after recovering from your New Year's overindulgences and polishing off that Valentine's Day box of chocolates you're in the clear.
