Forget personal trainers or gluten-free diets, you can now lose weight with the help of a computer game.

This is according to British scientists who have created a brain training game that they say can help you lose around 0.7kg (1.5lb) in one week.

The researchers claim the game can help some people consume 220 fewer calories a day – and now you can see if it works for you.

Exeter University and Cardiff University have teamed up with DailyMail.com to create a 10-minute version of the game that can be played by anyone to help them lose weight.

To get the full benefit of the game, the researchers say you should play it four times in one week, and record your results.

The game requires you to repeatedly avoid pressing on pictures of certain images such as biscuits, while responding to other images, such as fruit or clothes.

The idea is that it trains your brain to associate calorie-dense foods with 'stopping'.

In an initial study, 41 adults took the test and lost an average of 1.5lb (0.7kg) each week, with weight loss continuing for six months the trials ended.

The majority were overweight, and all said they ate calorie-dense snacks, such as crisps, biscuits, cake and chocolate, at least three times a week.

These effects were compared to a control group of 42 adults who completed the same 'stop versus go' training, but involving pictures of non-food objects
