When it comes to losing weight, slimmers will be on the searching for the best and most successful weight loss plans.

The 27-year-old decided to share how she had achieved her weight loss transformations to delighted fans of the social media site. Responding to a fan question about how she had managed to slim down, she revealed she’d combined different diets to keep things interesting and different to encourage natural weight loss. “ I eat once a day (OMAD) intermittent fasting and I follow a ketogenic diet. “So lots of meats, veggies and cheese! One Meal A Day (OMAD), isn’t for everyone, and if you are starting out I don’t recommend going cold turkey. “I had to take my time and re-train my body. Start off with the Keto diet plan, [it’s] so easy … eat tacos without the shell, burgers without the buns, pizza with almond flour and cheese crust! “I wanted a natural and easy way to lose weight but by not sacrificing all of life’s simple pleasures’.

“The first thing I had to do was realise that I needed to prioritise, your “SHOULDS” and your “MUSTS.” She went on to explain that your “should's” are the things that you should do but never really get around to and the “must’s” are things that you need to do. She said: “There is not an option, it is a deal breaker. “Change the way you identify yourself. If you have always called yourself 'big-boned', 'overweight' or 'curvy'… you will never succeed, because that is your set point, that becomes your identity. “Start visualising about who you want to be, and watch the changes unfold!” As well as dieting and changing the frame of mind, the slimmer also incorporated a fitness regime into her weight loss plan, stating: “Initially I started off by going out for walks after every meal to encourage blood circulation and jump-start fat burning. “Then once I was comfortable with walking, I increased my exercise to jogging and running after meals. “This really helped take control of my weight loss and it encouraged me then to go out of my comfort zone and become more active [by joining a gym],” she said.
