Jane McDonald’s diet transformation as she nears 60

The star changed her diet after going on TV series Sugar Free Farm

| Updated:

TV star Jane McDonald is looking fit and fabulous as she approaches 60.

The singer – who reaches the milestone next year – transformed her body after changing the way she ate when she was on the show Sugar Free Farm.

Jane told Your Healthy Living in 2017 that when she was on the programme she realised that she didn’t have the healthiest diet and was “very carbohydrate-led”.

She quickly started losing weight and had a lot more energy after working with a nutritionist – and now sticks to just one scone every few weeks.

Jane McDonald changed her mindset when it comes to her diet

“One of the things I always say is that life’s too short not to have a scone, and I have a scone maybe once every three months now but that’s it,” she said.

“You can fall off the wagon occasionally but you just have to get right back on.”

Jane, who was in her early fifties when she went on the show, said she avoids white carbs and makes sure she has lots of healthy greens.

You can fall off the wagon occasionally but you just have to get right back on.

She has also swapped crisps for organic nuts and seeds.

“I always used to be hungry and was always snacking on something, but I don’t have any of that now. It’s because of a change in my mindset. I used to live to eat, but now I eat to live.”

Star dazzled fans in glittery outfit

The work has evidently paid off.

Just last month the celeb wowed her fans when she posted a video on Instagram showing her in a glittery outfit as she started her ‘Let The Light In’ show.

Her followers could not get over how incredible she looked in the form-fitting spangly outfit.

“You look amazing!” said one fan in the comments section.
