Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has shared the secret behind maintaining her incredible figure, revealing that it requires minimal effort. The mother-of-one, who has six-month-old son Daye with partner Greg Lake, credits the meal replacement diet LighterLife Fast for her shape and increased energy levels.
Speaking to HELLO! Online, Metcalfe explained that she started the diet over two and a half years ago and found it easy to fit into her lifestyle. The 5:2 diet involves two 'fast days' per week where she consumes LighterLife Fast products, while eating in moderation on the other days. She noted that even over Christmas, she did not feel deprived.
The actress said the diet has been especially useful since becoming a mother, as it saves time on cooking during fast days. She added that the convenience of shakes, bars, and pots means she can focus on her son without worrying about her eating habits. Metcalfe described her first Christmas with Daye as 'magic', saying that having him brought back the festive spirit after her father's death when she was 15.
Metcalfe, who is currently on maternity leave, also joked that Daye is 'quite fiery' like her. LighterLife Fast, which provides 100% of daily recommended nutrients on fast days, is available at Superdrug and online. Metcalfe is an ambassador for the brand.
