Josie Gibson has opened up about the four key changes that helped her lose more than five stone in just six months. The 41-year-old This Morning presenter, who is set to front a new ITV series, credited her transformation to eating less, moving more, and educating herself about food.
In her book 'The Josie Gibson Diet', she wrote: 'I didn't get a gastric bypass; I got off my big a**e, moved more, ate less, and educated myself on what I was stuffing into my body.' Gibson also eliminated refined sugars from her diet, allowing only natural sugars found in fruit.
The mother-of-one, whose son Reggie was born in 2018, admitted that being too strict was unsustainable. She told the Mirror she allowed herself one cheat meal per week, saying: 'Don't undo all your hard work. Just have your one cheat meal and enjoy it.'
Gibson also practised intermittent fasting, restricting her eating to an eight-hour window. However, nutritionist Louise Pyne cautioned against relying solely on this method, noting that some studies found participants ate more on non-fasting days and exercised less.
Gibson appeared on This Morning on Monday to promote her new series 'How to Clean Up for Cash', which airs on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm. In the show, she covertly enters cluttered homes, helps declutter, and sells items with the owners' consent.
