Woman who lost 9st using Chris Moyles' diet eats kebab every Friday

A woman who lost nine stone by using the same diet as I'm A Celeb star Chris Moyles says she still indulges in Friday night kebabs.

Laura Holder, 45, went from 18st 7lb and a size 24 to 9st 10lb. Now a size eight or ten, the carer from Kent said she achieved her dramatic weight loss by only eating within a certain window and cutting out late snacks, Wales Online reports.

Laura accidentally started intermitted fasting and now eats 1,200 calories a day between 12pm and 7pm. Similarly, radio DJ and I'm A Celebrity star Chris Moyles recently revealed he lost more than six stone thanks to this diet.

While Laura is strict with her food intake on most days, she does still treat herself to a kebab and chips every Friday. Now a size eight or ten, Laura, who lives in Sidcup, said: "I fell into intermittent fasting because I needed to stop eating in the evening with my husband.

"He could indulge because he's super fit and boxes. Mentally I could never say no to food. I trained myself to stop eating in the evening and have a set time to eat."

She added: "My friend then turned to me and said it sounds like you're intermittent fasting. I started reading up on it- and was fascinated by it."

Wanting to share her success, Laura is now helping other women on her Facebook group - My One Year Glow Up - and gets a "buzz" from imparting her weightloss wisdom to other women. . Explaining her diet, she said: "I won't eat until around midday and I will break my fast with some sort of carb. For example, I will eat egg on toast or porridge or beans on toast at lunch time.

"Later in the day, I will have stir fries or chicken salads. I swap out pasta for courgette or butter nut squash spaghetti."

Before her weight loss, Laura would comfort eat and enjoy a full English breakfast, followed by a chippy lunch and a kebab for dinner. Since changing her diet, she said she feels more energetic and is enjoying going out more.

She said: "I was always so scared and now I have so much confidence. It's so new to me. I'm still trying to find out what my style is because I've never been able to enjoy clothes before.

"I'm so shocked by how I look now, I look in the mirror and think 'oh my god is that me?' It's like a big Christmas present to myself whenever I look at myself in the mirror."

She added: "I still have a takeaway every Friday, you can fast and eat what you like- as long as it's in your calories. I have a donner kebab every Friday night because I save 50 calories a day.

"I've trained myself to eat until I'm full and will throw the rest away."
