Shes confessed to losing 14lb, but our expert thinks Susanna Reid has shed 2st since the start of the summer. Heres how she did it
Theres no doubt that 47-year- old Susanna Reid is looking incredible right now – and its partly down to her mission to give up the booze.
The Good Morning Britain presenter looks noticeably slimmer since returning from her summer break from the show and our fitness expert believes shes dropped to a size 8-10.
So, how has she done it?
DITCHING THE BOOZE
Susanna, who is challenging herself to not drink alcohol for the whole of September and is using the app No More Hangovers to track her progress, made the revelation to co-host Piers Morgan that shes lost 14lb since she started her health kick.
But co-hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Kate Garraway tell Woman her weight loss began earlier. “Its over summer she lost it,” Charlotte tells us, with Kate adding, “Its been over two months – so its healthy.”
Having once revealed that shes ”not averse to lots of alcohol on occasion”, Susannas decision to go teetotal is having remarkable effects on her waistline – so much so that fitness and nutritional expert Laurel Alper thinks shes lost more than 14lb.
“I think shes lost about 2st,” Laurel tells Woman. “You can see she looks slimmer, particularly in her face. Shes got a lovely, heart-shaped, pointed face, which was a bit lost before.”
WEIGHT-LOSS MISSION
As well as cutting out alcohol, Susanna is avoiding snacking between meals.
“Its not just cutting out the alcohol thats done it; its cutting out eating between meals,” says Susanna. “Which can be tricky when youre up at 4am and grabbing calories to keep going.”
“I try to eat well, although it would be easy not to,” she said previously. “The tiredness you experience from the early starts on Good Morning Britain makes you crave sugary carbs and you could make the mistake of constant snacking.”
Instead, shell grab a healthy meal when she clocks off.
“When I go home, I could say, Im starving, and eat half a packet of Rich Teas. Instead, I toast a bit of rye bread and have it with poached egg and avocado.”
At just 5ft 4in, fitness expert Laurel Alper doesnt think Susanna has much weight to lose and says she needs to be careful about losing too much more.
“Susanna was never obese but
she was heavier and had excess
body fat. Now she looks so much
more slender and her waist is more defined,” says Laurel.
“Id say shes down to a size 8-10 and is at her goal weight. Shell want to be careful not to go below that – you can see the lovely shape of her face now.”
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Having done countless 10k runs and two marathons, its no secret that Susanna likes to keep active in order to maintain her incredible figure – but the mum-of-three doesnt like to stick to one type of exercise.
“I like to keep my fitness levels high, but Im not committed to one form of exercise, she says. Sometimes Im a Zumba fiend, other times Ive been passionate about running.”
Despite getting up at 3.45am every morning, Susanna still ensures exercise is part of her daily routine.
“Ill come off-air at 8.30, then get home to Balham by about 10am. Ill have my lunch, then get into bed for a nap before the gym at 1pm,” she confesses.
Its definitely working!
