Jane McDonald's incredible four stone weight loss after cutting out one food

Jane McDonald has lost an impressive four stone in weight - all by cutting out just one type of food from her diet.

The singer is currently showing fans ‘her Yorkshire’ in a new TV series for Channel 5.

A few years ago, in a bid to clean up her health, Jane took part in Sugar Free Farm and started making changes to her choice of foods.

The programme followed celebrities as they attempt to live on a sugar-free diet and after it ended, Jane continued to use the method.

After the show ended she implemented what she had learnt and shed four stone in total.

With her body now “detoxed” from sugar, the TV star has shared the foods she enjoys in abundance.

Speaking of her weight loss journey to the Daily Express, Jane said: “I lost a stone and a half from taking part in the TV show Sugar Free Farm.

“I used to eat so much rubbish. I didn’t realise how much rubbish I used to eat.

“I’ve always loved a pie and I was very carbohydrate-led as I was always hungry."

She added: “I ate far too much and all the wrong things. I didn’t realise that if you eat the wrong things, it doesn’t feed your body so you will want more."

She explained how she lives a busy life and was feeling tired all of the time. She said: “I like my life, and my schedule takes a lot of energy, but I was beginning to get quite tired and I was blaming it on age.

“I thought it’s just normal to have a big waist and a spare tyre because of my age.

“Then I was invited to take part in Sugar Free Farm and I met Angelique Panagos, the resident nutritionist.

“She said that I’d get a lot more energy if I just changed my diet and I looked at her with that ‘whatever’ look.

“But within two weeks I’d lost about 9lbs and I didn’t feel hungry. I always used to be hungry and was always snacking on something, but I don’t have any of that now.

“It’s because of a change in my mindset. I used to live to eat, but now I eat to live."

Jane likes to begin the day with a "green smoothie" and no longer eats "white carbs, like white flour or white pasta."
