How celebs ditched the pounds

So, have you stuck to your New Year’s resolutions and remained on track to make this your healthiest year yet?  No?  Well, you’re not alone. After making a big effort to lose weight last year in the second lockdown, I have struggled to return to form since Christmas.

I had planned to do a fresh detox and get off coffee and alcohol for February but alas my willpower has totally evaporated in the face of freedom.

Instead, I am staying off dairy and carbs and vastly increasing my veg intake six days a week and taking a break on a Sunday.

I could do with losing a few stone but I’ve decided now is not the time to live like a monk. Instead it’s the time to relish a return to normal life.

But I do dream of ditching the weight without making the sacrifices. I dream of having a personal trainer, personal chef and personal assistant to make all the hard work that bit easier to bear.

I like to keep an eye on weight loss among celebrities and see how they’ve managed it – albeit with all the assistance money can buy.
