Fern Britton will appear this evening on ITV’s Tipping Point: Lucky Stars at 5pm, alongside fellow celebrities Iain Stirling and Mark-Francis Vandelli. Viewers will be reminded of Fern’s recent weight loss transformation. What changes did Fern make to her diet and lifestyle to lose weight, as well as to maintain her ideal weight?
She ate more home cooked meals, adding plenty of fruit and vegetables to her diet.
Speaking to the Daily Mail about her weight loss journey, Fern said: “I needed to get healthy.
“I wasn’t unhappy the way I was; I was unhealthy.
“I’d been recovering from having children, having a divorce, all those emotional things.”
Reducing the number of carbohydrates she consumed massively helped Fern to lose weight.
Low-carb diets have been proven to help slimmers eat less throughout the day, leading to a calorie deficit.
This means burning more calories than you consume throughout the day.
According to Healthline, “cutting carbs is one of the simplest and most effective ways to lose weight”.
The website added: “Studies illustrate that people on low-carb diets lose more weight, faster, than those on low-fat diets – even when the latter are actively restricting calories.
“This is because low-carb diets act to rid excess water from your body, lowering insulin levels and leading to rapid weight loss in the first week or two.”
