Lisa Reily's weight loss

[Cannothtinkofaname]

Lisa is in the paper today talking about her weight loss. She looks fantastic and has done so well but she says she only has 400 calories a day.
I'm sure that can't be healthy but she is obviously doing very well on it so I'm just wondering if anyone knows what this diet would be please.

[Cannothtinkofaname]

I've answered my own question! I found an article in Woman magazine detailing her typical days food. It's not much but obviously works for her.

[juneybean]

Is it a Cambridge diet type thing?

[OwlinaTree]

I thought she'd had a gastric band but I'm not too up on the celebs. Is she the one who used to be in emmerdale?

[CreamCheez]

She says that she hasn't had weight-loss surgery. She does lots of exercise, including Zumba. I can't see how 400 cals is sustainable, but whatever she eats must provide enough nutrition for her. She gave up alcohol completely.

400cals a day and no booze... Not exactly a fun life!

[stumblymonkeyreturns]

I don't believe that can be healthy at all can it?

Even 'very low calorie diets' like lighter life are 800.

I'd be a fucking miserable crying mess on 400 cals a day

[Itsmekathy]

She did a lie detector test on loose women to prove she had not had a gastric band.

She must be mad though if she is genuinely living on 400 calories. I would have thought that was impossible to sustain.

How long for? 400 calls a day eating what?

[WanderingTrolley1]

It won't/can't last.

I'd eat that much for breakfast. I think Victoria beckham eats more than that. How on earth is eating 400 calories a day good for you. I'm mad as I work with a lot of teenagers who would read that and think it's sustainable or even good for you.

I think she's had surgery? Therefore can only eat tiny amounts. This is why very large people are able to lose weight so quickly. Hasn't it been 10 stone in a year or something?

[LapinR0se]

When I was anorexic I had about 400 calories a day. It is very very bad for you and not at all sustainable.

[Funnyonion17]

I once did Diet drops, 400 cal a day. Lost 1lb a day and I thought it was brilliant. Until I saw the state of my b12 levels and my health was a mess. It can actually kill you too, it puts strain on the heart.

[taytotayto111]

I was the same weight as her and believe me she has had surgery or some type. I've lost over 5 stone since November with healthy eating and exercising and I'm being super good and I won't have her results in a year.

[JiminnyCricket]

She did the 400 cal thing for the first week, then swapped to low carb:

"To kick start her weight loss plan Lisa visited the Slimmeria retreat, run by diet guru Galia Grainger, and was only allowed to eat a tiny 400 calories a day!

Exercising for 4 hours every day, Lisa was up at 7.15pm and in bed by 9pm. Gruelling! Luckily this was only a temporary plan to start getting Lisa into shape.

After losing a stone in just 1 week, Lisa has been steadily keeping up the weight loss by eating a healthy, low-carb diet and doing regular exercise.

“I only eat a carb if I need one and absolutely no bread or booze,” she revealed. ” I’ve been going to zumba classes which is fun. I find the gym is boring. “

[JiminnyCricket]

Bit yhat confuses me though is she states in the body of the text she's low carb, then the diet plan that's at the bottom isn't a low carb diet plan!

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

I'm sorry Lisa - just read the article and apparently you didn't have surgery. I thought you had and were open about it, must have been mixing you up with someone else.

Apologies

[Msqueen33]

She has that crazy manic wide eyed look about her. She needs some cake.

[Cannothtinkofaname]

I believe her when she says she hasn't had surgery, and it must be so annoying if she hasn't and everyone thinks she has.

I think she's looking really good and admire her will-power to stick to it so rigidly.

I remember Fern Britten did a big diet thing and then admitted to surgery.
