Kerry Katona praised for 'authenticity' as she loses 6lbs in week on diet plan

A former pop star has stunned fans with her weight loss journey, as she showed off her figure after losing 8lbs in just a week thanks to a very specific diet. Kerry Katona, part of the girl group Atomic Kitten, has been keeping her fans updated throughout the transformation and shared the lifestyle changes she has been making.

This includes revamping her diet and incorporating a fitness routine into her life. The 42-year-old singer weighed more than 13 stone at the start of her fitness journey and set a goal last month to physically improve her health.

Over the weekend, Kerry took to Instagram to share a photo of her progress, which showed her at the gym in a lilac sports bra and lycra hot pants. This post was followed by another photo of her, this time in a leopard print maxi dress which showed off her snatched waist reports the Daily Record.

Last month Kerry told OK! magazine in her exclusive column that she had managed to fit back into her size 12 jeans. She said: "I've lost 8lb in a week, and I'm back in my size 12 jeans! I feel amazing. It's all thanks to the FrancisDiet, plus working out with my fitness brand M-Fit."

The singer was introduced to the diet by her pal Carla Fishwick who previously lost 6st and 9lbs in a year while following the same diet, and Kerry has been praising the creator of the diet and called him 'an absolute genius'.

The mum-of-five said the diet involves a lot of personal responsibility as she revealed that she's been prepping all her own food. Francis provides his clients with a personalised eating plan and a tailored exercise regime which usually requires people to workout three times a day.

Kerry added: "I’ve also been doing home workouts, which are great for when you have lots on." The former popstar is keeping fans up to date whilst also remaining as candid as possible.

She recently shared a clip of herself on Instagram working out in black underwear as she performed her keep fit routine. The star pre warned fans that she had not edited the footage in any way with filters as she wrote: "I know it’s not a pretty sight but it’s real!!!

"I feel extremely vulnerable by posting that video, but I’m also sick of all these bloody filters." However, her followers were impressed by her authenticity and praised her for showing the rest of the world that they are 'normal' just the way they are.

The mum-of-five has been very open and honest about her fitness journey over the years and how much her body has fluctuated in size and weight. Kerry has also confessed in the past to undergoing surgery to help her maintain a slim figure as she previously underwent two tummy tucks and liposuction.

However, the star is now committed to transforming her body in a healthy way through her new fitness journey as she says she feels 'amazing'. Earlier this year, the star revealed she was "the biggest I've ever been" after she put on two and a half stone, but she aims to lose three stone and be back to a size eight by this time next year.

The singer was also recently diagnosed with lipodemia which, according to the NHS, is a chronic condition that causes an abnormal build-up of fat in your legs and arms. Kerry is also currently suffering from a broken foot but is determined that nothing is going to hold her back from making more progress.
