Those attempting to lose weight should think outside of the box in terms of what they normally do to exercise in their ladies sportswear, Slimming World has suggested.

Dr Jacquie Lavin, head of nutrition and research at Slimming World, said that there are many things women can work into their daily routines that will aid weight loss.

"Start walking more, take the stairs instead of the lift and clean the car rather than using a carwash. It all helps," she advised.

Her comments follow the publication of research in the Archives of Internal Medicine, which claim that women who drink wine in moderation are less likely to put on weight than those who are teetotal.

Dr Lavin said that women can slim down and still enjoy "the odd glass of wine" but they should not disillusion themselves that alcohol it is going to provide them with a solution to their weight problems.
