She explained: "The secret to permanent weight loss is this: there is no secret!
"There's not a cleanse, a detox, a 'superfood' on the planet that will give you lasting results."
She promises that her programme is one that you will only ever need to follow once and that will keep the weight off for good.

The four pillars of the Louise Parker Method:
• Think Successfully
Adopt a positive mindset.
Assume nothing but success.
Visualise your goal.
It needs to be so clear you can literally feel it.
Keep positive, inspiring company
• Eat Beautifully
Eat three meals and two snacks a day
Balance each meal with all the necessary macronutriants: these include proteins, fat and carbs that are low in GI
Stay well hydrated - Sip, sip sip aiming for two litres of water a day
Be prepared when you're on the go
• Live Well
Declutter your surroundings
Digital detox after 9pm every night
Sleep 7-8 hours a night
Take a 'brain-nap' for 20 minutes a day
Make time for simple pleasures every single day
• Exercise Intelligently
Build the habit of exercise
Weave activity into your everyday with a minimum of 10,000 steps a day
Fads don't work, gimmicks are gimmicks and extremes don't last.
Consistency is a Louise Parker mantra
CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE FOR GOOD

Her Louise Parker Method uses a simple set of principles that re-sets your lifestyle and gets you the body you want, permanently and effortlessly.
She said: "It's a real-life solution to permanent weight loss and optimum health while allowing all the pleasures of life - in moderation - to keep you sane and healthy. It is not about calorie counting or deprivation."
She added: "Don't think of this as a bootcamp or a diet. It is the start to a new normal with consistency at the heart of it.
"During my programmes, I teach clients to get the best possible fat-burning results, in a way that's so sustainable that our style of eating is going to become a habit.
"I want you to love the meals and foods you choose. Loving flavour is one of the key ways to ensure our style of nutrition lasts.
"This doesn't mean that it has to be complicated and many of my recipes have less than eight ingredients and can be prepared in less than 15 minutes.
'"uy the best ingredients you can as this makes such a difference to the end taste and make sure you always have lots of herbs, seasoning and condiments in your cupboards at home to experiment with."
LOUISE'S TOP WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
1. Always eat breakfast
It is essential that you never skip breakfast. Remember that we are not only shedding your body-fat but teaching you simple eating strategies that create 'metabolic uplift'. Try preparing vanilla overnight oats which will last you three days and you can decorate and flavour up in so many gorgeous ways.
- Many of our recipes take less than eight minutes to prepare.
2. Meal prep is key
Spend 10 minutes on a Sunday roughly planning your meals and you'll save on waste and be more mindful about what you eat - it'll pay back tenfold.
3. Put it in your diary
Commit your workouts to your diary as you would an important meeting - once you get the habit of 'paying your daily rent' of a little exercise a day, it'll soon become a habit.
4. Get the right mix
Lunchtime and evening meals can be interchanged, and don't have to be salads. The main thing is to ensure you've a delicate dose of protein at every meal - and dishes on the method range from soups, salads, classic comfort food to many meals you really wouldn't expect to eat whilst losing weight - such as bacon butties.
5. Make it a double
During the week, double up when cooking your evening meal so you can have cold meat or fish and plenty of vegetables to combine with your salad, saving you time.
6. Eat on the go
Learn how to eat on the go and in restaurants - the method can be followed whether you're grabbing something off the high street in a hurry or eating in restaurants or planes
- don't think you have to be a slave to the kitchen.
7. Have good food on stand by
Batch cook at least one meal - a soup, a ragu, or a casserole - a week and throw it in the freezer so that you've always got an "on method" meal ready to go on those nights you come home tired and tempted to dial Deliveroo.
8. Prep your snack packs
Prepare snacks in advance and have them on you at all times. Try roasting nuts in whipped egg white and roasting with fresh herbs or spices or cinnamon and cocoa if you've a sweet tooth.
9. Hit the supermarket twice a week
It's a good idea to shop twice per week so you have plenty of fresh produce - even better have it delivered.
10. Don't be afraid to use fat
It is fine to pan fry food quickly with a little olive oil and water to steam them - don't be afraid of using fat.
11. Learn how to time your meals
Stick to the formula of three main meals and two snacks a day, evenly spacing your meals so that you never feel hungry and achieve hormonal balance.
12. Eat fruit, but not too much
Watch your fruit intake - we stick to about three portions per day of lower Gi fruit.
13. Watch out for "healthy food imposters"
Beware of what we refer to as "organically overweight" food. Learn to read the labels - as many foods posing as "healthy" are often laden hidden sugars and calories. Even if the sugar source is natural, if your body doesn't need it, the sugars will be sent to fat storage.
