Alison Hammond weight loss isn’t just cutting out sugar

Hello! I think Alison Hammond is fab and she looks amazing having lost I believe close to 8 stone!

However she said she has cut out sugar and that’s how she has done it. She also has a PT I follow her on Instagram and she posts a lot, I’ve seen one PT session.

I wish celebrities would be honest about their weight loss and how they did it, I think she’s probably used a weight loss drug, I would love to be able to afford a weight loss drug but I can’t.

Reducing sugar, carbs and excess fats with portion control can do it really quickly. Best plan I’ve found is the human being diet, works so well but it can be tough. My diet was mostly good but portions were too big. https://thehumanbeingdiet.com/

She had a gastric band and has been open about it. When people say they’ve cut out sugar, they mean it. So it’s not just no cake, it’s watching sauces, refined carbs etc.

Although she sad it didn’t work there would still be a sleeve there I imagine which would help.

@ExpatAl no, she said it made her uncomfortable so she had surgery to remove it as she didn't like the feeling it gave her

Yes I admit I am jealous but I’m telling you now no one loses 8 stone on just cutting out sugar

I think you could absolutely lose that amount of weight cutting out sugar. I don’t follow Alison on social media, but from experience and from others I know doing so, you can lose a lot of weight by cutting out sugar but that’s not necessarily just sugar as you would think of such as a table sugar. It can include foods with added sugar, cereals and high carbohydrate foods - carbohydrates break down into sugar so raise blood sugar and insulin levels.

She's been dieting for 3 years. She has a PT and nutritionist. She's made drastic changes.

Totally doable without drugs.

And even if she did use them, good on her - some try and can't even with them

I kind of agree with you actually. It's tough for them because they are in the spotlight. But being dishonest about it means it's harder for the rest of us.

I don't know she might have cut carbs that turn into sugar when they translate into your gut.
I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes - I was quite off the chart & probably overweight, I was offered a course where I learnt all about carbs & sugars. So I lost 2 stone & that was just through cutting carbs & a half hour walk a day. It can be done but surprised at how many foods have carbs. Mostly eating protein & was told that your body doesn't need carbs - not really anyway.

Why? Why should what some random woman on the TV, who you have never met, puts into her body have any impact at all on you and what you put into your body? I genuinely don’t get it. They have absolutely no responsibility for your weight, it’s on you.

Longer than that. She was on Celebrity Fit Club in 2004, and Sugar Free Farm a few years later, so dieting and her weight has always been part of persona.

Cutting out sugar isn't just sugar in your tea, cakes and biscuits. It's cutting out carbs too like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes.

Yes it’s obvious she’s had so much medical procedures and even a face lift

a face lift really?

Honestly cutting out sugar has huge benefits. You will find your overall appetite drops. It takes time but honestly it's really effective

I agree I've done the same.
Also I've cut out chocolate and reduced carbs which has been a game changer.
I've lost 12 kilos in three months. Slow but steady which is the best way 😎

NoDought · 03/08/2024 13:54

This is a really odd post. Unless she is still in the big brother house you aren’t going to know everything that passes her lips and every training session she does. Some celebrities get stick for putting constant posts up about exercise and also may feel more vulnerable posting about her self working out. It doesn’t mean she is lying about how she has lost weight.

Beaverbridge · 04/08/2024 18:21

GreenAir80 · 31/07/2024 16:15

It’s not steady, it’s quite sudden to this level over the last year.

I'm sure she started couple years ago when she was told on screen she was prediabetic?.

MUMness83 · 22/09/2024 09:01

She looks great and is on Mounjaro (GLP1 injection) which lowers your blood sugar and stops you craving anything whatsoever sweet. So yes she has cut out sugar but with the help of a weight loss drug.

Harder for the rest of us

What does that mean?

I don’t get how it makes it harder for other people either. If everyone concentrated on their own health/bodies instead of gossiping about other people’s, it would be preferable for everyone.

Are you her Doctor? Not sure how you could possibly know this otherwise

Is she, did she tell you that?

Withless · 22/09/2024 14:40

Of course she's taking a weight loss drug! Why wouldn't she? She was clinically obese. She's just not posting about it because I'd imagine she's making money out of her Instagram.

She's been dieting for a few years and it's probably only just showing now, it took a 3.5 stone loss for me before anyone noticed.

And so fucking what if she is on a weight loss drug, good for her if she is

Withless · 22/09/2024 16:07

I mean, why wouldn't she be? I would like a shot if I was as overweight.
