Lorraine Kelly feels 'happier and healthier' after embarking on a weight loss journey this year.
The ITV breakfast host felt unhappy in her looks after putting on weight during the pandemic, but has since partnered with WW, formerly Weight Watchers, to shed some pounds. The Glasgow born broadcaster has revealed her 'dead easy' tips that aided her in her impressive weight loss.
Lorraine, 62, has reached her “ideal” weight and has dropped from a size 14 to a now comfortable 10. One of Lorraine's tips includes making a few little changes to your diet and routine, as well as walking 10,000 steps a day, which she achieves by taking her beloved dog, Angus, out for a stroll.
Speaking to the Express, she explained: “I comfort ate and would just find myself hovering around the biscuit tin and the fridge for all sorts of goodies. Me and Steve would have a massive, big chocolate plate every night. It started off quite small but ended up being huge!
"I was going through packets of biscuits and unhealthy grub. I wasn't doing as much exercise and mindlessly eating, just eating for the sake of eating. Now I’ve got much more of a balance.”
Lorraine assures fans that she “isn’t a bore” with dieting and still enjoys her food and drink, especially at the weekends. The presenter says she found her weight loss “dead easy” using the WW app and doing 10,000 steps a day.
She said: “It isn’t a stupid, silly diet because diets don’t work, as we know. It’s just about making little changes. We all know what is good for us, we all know what we are supposed to eat, so it is about getting that balance right.
"I'm not bored or miserable and thinking about food all the time, just eating well. The thing I do actually, well Steve does because he is a much better cook, he makes a massive bowl of really spicy vegetable soup on a Sunday and I have that for my lunch Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then he makes another one.
"I don’t have it every day for lunch but I find that it really fills you up if you are hungry and a banana isn’t going to do it for you. That’s my tip, that and not to beat yourself up if you do have a chocolate biscuit, for goodness sake it’s not the end of the world!
"But it doesn’t mean that you have to have 20 bags. Just say, right, I had that, big deal, move on. There is nothing wrong with having a biscuit with a cup of tea, it’s fine, it’s just about getting the balance.”
