So, what does the blender diet involve?
Following this diet means replacing two of your three daily meals with smoothies.
These drinks are made up with plenty of vegetables, as well as some fruit.
As well as two healthy snacks, a portion-controlled meal is also allowed each day – however slimmers must “chew longer” than usual, Dr Xand said.
What’s not allowed on the blender diet?
Dairy, alcohol, fried foods, and sugar are banned on this short-term diet plan.
This means that fizzy drinks are also off the menu.
While the dieter did lose more than a stone in the space of two weeks on the blender diet, it’s important to remember that crash dieting is frowned upon by some health professionals.
A personal trainer recently told Express.co.uk what she believes is the “only way” to lose weight and shift belly fat.

Cecilia, 49, said: “You start losing weight from all parts of your body and it could be from your tummy first, or it could be from your legs, or your bottom – but in general, it’s just going to come off everywhere.”
She went on to explain that it’s crucial that you create a calorie deficit, should you be aiming to lose a few pounds.
