The 50-year-old has shared details of her remarkable transformation.
Alison Hammond has worked hard to lose weight after being given some scary health news. The TV presenter made two huge lifestyle swaps, which led to remarkable results both inside and outside her body, helping her discover ‘new love’.
Aside from losing an impressive 11 stone, the beloved TV host known for her work on programmes like ITV’s This Morning and Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off also managed to ‘reverse’ her prediabetic condition through dedication and determination.
The 50-year-old first earned public fame during a brief appearance on Big Brother back in 2002. Alison stepped into the famous house at just 22 years old, and her brief fifteen days on the reality show led to a successful TV career that has spanned decades.
In recent years, the presenter has slimmed down and achieved an incredible 11 stone loss with the help of a personal trainer. However, alongside her fitness regime, she cut out two key items from her diet after receiving a prediabetic diagnosis.
Speaking to Women’s Health, she said: “My mum had Type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me, so when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening. I thought ‘I have to be an adult about this’. The sweets had to stop, and the fatty foods.”
Alison, who was 28 stone at her heaviest, maintains her fitness by visiting her personal trainer twice a week and using the weights to exercise in her bedroom. She continued, “I try to change it so it doesn’t feel the same every day.
“If I miss a session or two with my trainer, I notice it. That kick you get out of the way you feel is so good.” Following a complete lifestyle transformation, according to a previous report by Surrey Live, the TV star revealed she’s no longer prediabetic.
She said, “I can allow myself a little sugar here and there because my body is functioning properly.” Although I still have areas of awareness in my arms and stomach, I really enjoy being able to wear things I couldn’t before. Look at me, I’m a bombshell, I mean.
Describe prediabetes.
Diabetes UK claims that people who have “higher than usual but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes” may be classified as having type 2 diabetes. It added that people who develop this condition before it crosses the threshold can reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes and can prevent or delay the development of the condition.
Prediabetes doesn’t have any symptoms. If you start to have any of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes, it means you have probably already developed it. Diabetes UK shared a list of signs people may want to look out for, including:
- using the restroom more frequently, especially at night,
- feeling tired faster than usual
- trying to lose weight
- thrush or genital itching
- wounds and cuts take longer to heal
- blurry vision
- feeling incredibly thirsty
