Michelle, who’s a qualified fitness instructor and nutritionist, follows a carefully devised diet plan- which she started two weeks after having baby son Aaron last year- with lots of lean protein, fresh veg, whole fruit, and at least two litres of water a day.
She stops eating starchy carbs after midnight and bans sugar ad all white carbs, except oats, which are wholegrain. She says “I have a coffee first thing, then I make a smoothie with oats, protein powder and water for after my workout.
Michelle also sticks to a healthy dinner of chicken, turkey or lean steak with veg. But she admits: “At first, I’d cheat on nights out and drink alcohol, so my weight loss halted.”
