  • 14 Dec 2018

Have you gone too hard too fast with all your festive eating and need to drop some kilos? Well one Aussie dad has revealed his fast-working and budget-friendly diet - where absolutely everything is available at ALDI. 

The dad took to Reddit to reveal his savvy eating plan and says he has already inspired scores of friends and family to lose weight with his simple plan.

‘Everything is available from ALDI, and if you stick with it for 10 days with no mistakes you will lose as much as 10kg,’ he posted. ‘And for the 10 days, it’ll only cost you around $80 or just $8 a day which is awesome.

‘If anyone wants to lose weight in the lead-up to Christmas - or even after, then I would give it a go. I’ve lost 12kg on it, and all my friends and family and colleagues have lost heaps of weight too. And the food’s yummy - I make the smoothie for my kids too.’

The post saw a wave of commenters vow to do the diet, with one saying: ‘This actually looks like a diet I can do!’

Indeed, the ALDI Christmas diet does look VERY easy to do. Here are the details of the super simple eating plan, where all products are available from ALDI.
