A few years ago, Demi revealed a massive body transformation, after losing 42 pounds. “I’ve had quite a big reaction from when I posted my throwback yesterday of me in January 2019 to now and my three stone [19kg] weight difference,” she said in her Instagram Stories. “I’m no professional. I was on no strict diet. I was on no strict gym routine.” She proceeded to explain that she had been in a “long term, very toxic relationship” that left her isolated. “I was eating so unhealthily and a really bad lifestyle. As I came out of the relationship I started seeing my friends again and started becoming happy again and believe it or not the weight just dropped off me,” Demi said. “I think I was eating out of pure depression in the evenings. Just like sadness and boredom because I was in a toxic, controlling relationship, so I thought as soon as I got out of the relationship I naturally started dropping off the pounds.”
Demi enlisted the health of professionals to get into shape. “I noticed my clothes weren’t fitting me anymore and I said to my mum, ‘Something needs to change’. So I went to Slimming World (a UK-based weight loss organization) for a couple of weeks,” she continued.
“Just cutting out things I was eating a lot of like bread, chocolate and takeaways and I cut all that out. I was mainly eating Weetabix for breakfast and then for lunch rice and chicken or rice and tuna, and then whatever my mum cooks me in the evening, and I wasn’t really snacking,” Demi revealed about how she changed her diet.
Just by changing her diet she lost 28 pounds. “Then I got scouted for Love Island, but I was scouted very last minute. I only had six weeks notice. So I went to the gym every single day. I was probably unhealthily maintaining a gym routine but it wasn’t really for me, and then in the space of about four or five weeks before Love Island I lost another stone,” she continued.
Demi doesn’t believe in crash diets. “Personally, for me I can’t do these quick diets and lose weight within a month. I need to do it over a long period of time and it needs to drill into your lifestyle in order to be maintained or else you’re going to put it back on,” she said.
