Alison Hammond has given an insight into what her diet looks like after losing an impressive 11 stone and managing to reverse a pre-diabetic diagnosis.
The This Morning presenter, 50, weighed 28 stone at her heaviest and chose to embrace a healthier and more active lifestyle rather than turn to weight loss injections as is the current celebrity trend.
As part of that, Hammond has revealed that she is an early riser regardless of if she has to be up for for work the next day or has gone to bed late the night before.
The mum-of-one then sets her day up with an immunity boosting ginger shot and tucking into a Full English breakfast, consisting of eggs, bacon and sausages, which she will sit down to enjoy with her son Aiden.
On days when she is working, she will typically ear Caribbean food for lunch, such as rice, peas and chicken.
If she is at home however, the Great British Bake Off host will cook herself a homemade lasagne before spending the afternoon “pottering” or catching up on her favourite reality TV shows.
She said she tends to fills her free time with activities such as going to cinema, doing some home DIY and cleaning or doing sports to keep fit.
Of her evening meals, she told the Sunday Times magazine: “If I'm staying in I'll rustle up curried goat and rice or chicken fried rice.”
Hammond previously told how her mother Maria had raised concerns when the former Big Brother contestant was diagnosed pre-diabetic and she chose to address the issue following her parent’s passing in 2020 from lung and liver cancer.
She told Good Housekeeping UK: “My mum had type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me, so when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening.
“I thought: 'I have to be an adult about this'. The sweets had to stop – and the fatty foods.”
Of her decision not to go down the weightloss jab route, she told the publication: “I think that, for people who need to use them, they're a good thing - but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened.
“So I haven't wanted to use them, but that's not to say I wouldn't in the future, and I certainly wouldn't look down on anyone who did.”
For those who raise eyebrwos about her weight loss when still eating things like an Full English, when it comes to food, she says she hasn't cut anything out completely and instead focuses on “moderation”.
“I don't deny myself anything, I eat everything, but in moderation,” she added to the publication.
