Jane McDonald has shared the secrets behind her weight loss after she lost four stone through a 'change in mindset'.
The singer took part in Sugar Free Farm, an ITV series which followed celebrities as they tried to live on a sugar-free diet. And even after the programme ended, she continued making important changes to her diet choices.
McDonald told Express.co.uk that cutting out certain foods was the key to losing so much weight. After Sugar Free Farm ended she continued to use the methods she learned there and she says her body is now "detoxed" from sugar.
She no longer eats white carbohydrates, like white flour or white pasta, and she no longer suffers from “energy dips” and has a lot more energy, but most crucially she is hardly ever hungry. 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.
“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.

“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."
