This Morning presenter Alison Hammond has overhauled her lifestyle in recent years
Alison Hammond is “no longer prediabetic” following a simple lifestyle adjustment that delivered huge changes. The TV personality has become a familiar face across the nation, appearing on programmes including This Morning and The Great British Bake Off.
The 50-year-old first rose to fame in a short stint in the Big Brother house back in 2002. Alison joined the famous house aged just 22, spending fifteen days on the reality show before becoming the second housemate eliminated.
In recent years, Alison has lost an impressive 11 stone with support from a personal trainer. However, alongside her fitness regime, she has revealed she removed two key items from her diet after receiving the prediabetic diagnosis.
In an interview with Women’s Health, she said: “My mum had Type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me, so when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening. I thought ‘I have to be an adult about this’. The sweets had to stop, and the fatty foods.”
Alison also said she works with her personal trainer twice a week and keeps weights in her bedroom for additional workouts. She continued: “I try to vary it so it’s not the same every day … the kick you get out of the way you feel is so good.”
On reversing her prediabetes, she added: “Because my body’s working properly, I can allow myself a bit of sugar here and there. I love my new shape and although I still have areas I’m conscious of, such as my arms and tummy, it’s great being able to wear things I would never have been able to before.
“I mean, look at me, I’m a bombshell.”
