Carol Vorderman has revealed the unexpected tricks behind her enviable physique - and they may come as a surprise. Despite not caring too much about public opinion, the television star is keen on shedding more pounds to get back to what she considers a 'size 9' (a small size 10).
After taking a break from fitness following her promotional work for her book 'Now What? On a Mission To Fix Broken Britain', but spoke to Saga magazine about her health and wellness regime. Interestingly, her regime includes carrying around raw sprouts for snacking and performing plenty of 'squats for the bum,' as she puts it.
"I wear a good bra and jeans that hold you up," she explained. "I generally have one meal a day – late afternoon – and I do three 45-minute sessions in the gym a week, which I love."
Eating once a day is a practice known as OMAD, an acronym for 'One Meal A Day,' according to Healthline. This eating pattern is thought to create a caloric deficit, assisting in weight loss over time and potentially reducing the risk of heart disease.
The ex-'Countdown' host has openly stated that calorie counting isn't part of her regimen; however, she is an advocate for bi-annual 'detoxing'. The process involves eliminating carbohydrates, dairy, meat, caffeine, and alcohol for a 28-day period.
In her guide, 'Detox Your Life', she penned: "The detox is not about counting calories or fat units, it's about being aware of the kinds of foods we put into our bodies. It's about eating more, not less."
At the age of 63, she's now dubbed a 'rebel with a cause', having taken a step back from television roles to focus more on advocating for truth and justice in politics. Her latest book details her journey to becoming a one-woman anti-corruption crusader, taking a stand against dishonesty and fraudulence in the British Establishment.
She commented: "I know what I stand for and I know what makes me happy."
