4 stay-sexy diet secrets

You can stick to your diet without losing your sex appeal with these simple rules

There’s nothing duller than someone droning on about the calories in everything. And what man wants a girlfriend who just nibbles salad? “The sexiest solution is to keep your diet a secret from your man,” says India Knight, co-author of Neris And India’s The Idiot-Proof Diet. “At least until you’ve been together a while.” Here’s how…

Potential Diet Disaster #1

You’re on a first date and green salad is the only diet-friendly option on the menu.

What’s HOT: Treat yourself to any main course but say you’re stuffed and have coffee instead of pudding. Then be extra good the next day.
What’s NOT: Ordering the salad and then pinching his chips.

Potential Diet Disaster #2

Your new lover produces a bottle of squirty cream in bed.
What’s HOT: Smother yourself in the cream and get him to lick it off; when it’s his turn, get some (zero-cal) ice cubes and use your imagination.
What’s NOT: Saying, “Oh my God – that stuff’s got a million calories in it!”

Potential Diet Disaster #3

A boyfriend’s treats you to his specialty spaghetti carbonara with garlic bread.
What’s HOT: Saying he’s the best cook ever and buying him the latest Jamie Oliver book, marking out recipes you like with Post-its.
What’s NOT: Eating half of what he serves (he’ll feel offended).

Potential Diet Disaster #4

Your man starts eating chocolate while you watch TV.
What’s HOT: Chopping some exotic fruits (papaya, mango, lychee) into chunks and feeding each other.
What’s NOT: Hiding his chocolate (he’ll only buy more!).
