Alison Hammond reveals her weight loss secrets and fitness regime after dropping 11-stone and reversing her pre-diabetic diagnosis

Alison Hammond has given an insight into her health and fitness regime after dropping 11-stone.

The This Morning presenter, 50, decided to lose weight after the death of her mother Maria – who had raised concerns over Alison’s pre-diabetic diagnosis.

Now, she has revealed how she managed to lose 11-stone without the ᴀssistance of weight-loss jabs, giving an insight into her exercise plan with her personal trainer.

Alison, who weighed 28-stone at her heaviest, told Heat: ‘I’ve got a personal trainer – she’s amazing, she trains me when I can train. 

‘If I’m working, I don’t train, I’ll go for a walk.

‘But when I’m at home, I’ll go and have a session with her in the morning, just an hour. It might be four days a week.’

She also revealed her approach to her diet, saying she hasn’t cut anything out completely but focuses on ‘moderation’. 

‘I don’t deny myself anything, I eat everything, but in moderation,’ she added.

Alison previously told how weight loss jabs weren’t for her, opting against using them because she was ‘frightened’ of ‘scary’ stories surrounding them. 

She told Good Housekeeping UK: ‘I think that, for people who need to use them, they’re a good thing – but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened. 

‘So I haven’t wanted to use them, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t in the future, and I certainly wouldn’t look down on anyone who did.’

Alison also revealed how her mother Maria, who died in January 2020 from lung and liver cancer, influenced her decision to overhaul her lifestyle.

She shared: ‘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.

‘Twice a week, I see my personal trainer and I have a couple of weights in my bedroom. I walk, I stretch and sometimes I do a bit of yoga.’

Amid her body transformation, the broadcaster opted to sell off her old size 26 clothes earlier this year for charity in memory of her late mother.

She has been candid about her weight struggles over the years and previously admitted she was ‘so embarrᴀssed’ by her weight when she weighed more than 20 stone, she joined Weight Watchers in 2019 to focus on her health.

Alison admitted she is trolled on a daily basis about her size but refuses to slim down for others as she likes taking up ‘a little bit of extra space in the world’.

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly and her daughter Rosie Smith on the What If? podcast, Alison said she is trying and eat healthier to avoid knee pain but added ‘we’re all going to die eventually’.

She vowed to live her life to the ‘fullest’ and promised that she was going to have a ‘wonderful life’ in the candid chat. 

Alison, who is loved for her sunny disposition, said she wanted to prioritise her health and wellbeing whilst juggling her on-the-go lifestyle.

She said: ‘I want my journey to empower others to think about making changes to their lifestyle to become the best version of themselves.’
