High-quality proteins such as chicken are effective for weight loss in that they fill you up and are relatively low calorie.
The benefits of her newfound healthy lifestyle were more than just physical, with the actress also noticing a mental shift.
She revealed: “It was incredible. I found I had so much more energy than when I used to eat junk food.”
But it wasn’t an easy ride, as she previously admitted to a life of yo-yo dieting when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2007.
