A health expert has shared their go-to advice for those wanting to lose weight fast without sticking to a rigid diet and claims this trusted hack could lead to some pretty dramatic results. According to Abraham Khodadi, his method could lead to those watching their weight trimming as much as 5cm of belly fat in just one week, all while dropping 1 kilogram from the scales.

Pharmacist Abraham, best known to YouTube followers as @AbrahamThePharmacist, left health-conscious fans amazed after uploading an informative clip entitled 'How to lose belly fat in one week and weight fast'. In this vid, Abraham, who regularly shares accessible medical information with followers, advised slimmers that they should keep to three meals a day on this particular weight loss plan while using their hands to portion out their food.

Abraham explained: "Let me teach you the Abraham diet. So every day, you're going to have three meals, and we're gonna use these bad boys [gesturing with his hands] to portion our food groups. Carbohydrates: each meal will consist of one fist-sized portion of starchy carbohydrates. Proteins: each meal will consist of one palm-sized portion of lean protein. Vegetables or salad: each meal will consist of one cooked handful of veg or salad. Nice and simple."

In another, more detailed video, Abraham delved into some of the more transformative effects of his easy-to-follow diet plan, claiming: "After six weeks the diet has been proven to reduce your dangerous visceral fat by 14 per cent, reduce your blood pressure, reduce your cholesterol and, help you shrink your waistline by up to 5cm without doing any additional exercise."

According to the NHS website, generally speaking, the recommended calorie intake is 2,000 calories per day for women and 2,500 calories per day for men. A healthy, balanced approach to food is encouraged, with people advised to eat "a wide variety of foods in the right proportions", on top of staying hydrated with plenty of fluids.

This includes eating a minimum of five portions of fruit and veg each day, and basing meals on higher fibre starchy foods, like potatoes, bread, pasta, or rice. Proteins such as beans, pulses, eggs, fish, and meat should also be incorporated into a person's diet, as should either dairy products or non-dairy alternatives.
