Gemma Collins shares insight into weight loss after dropping a stone in days
Gemma Collins has shared the 'secret' to her impressive weight loss as she's dropped just under a stone already.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star took to her social media to update her followers on her weight loss journey so far. She dropped nearly a stone in one week with her new routine as she prepares to marry businessman Rami Hawash.
The GC has changed her lifestyle by working with bodybuilder Eddie Abbew and focusing on a high-protein diet, which includes whole foods and fewer carbs. In her update with fans, Gemma said: "I am determined not to let anything stop me after just losing under a stone. So I'm shopping now with Selina and Eddie and we're going to load up the shopping so I stay on track for this week, let's go."
Gemma was seen packing the trolley with nuts, salad, and various meat and vegetables. The TV star admitted she "can't believe" she can eat it all and still lose weight. Selina, who labels herself a 'Fat Adapting Chef', added: "At the moment we are staying away from fruit because we don't want to raise her insulin."
Fans sent their support to Gemma as one said: " Amazing!!! Gemma you need to make this into a TV show would love to watch!!! Lots of love." Another added: "Love her attitude...u got this...let's go". Someone else commented: "Love this, Gemma! Shout out Uncle Eddie." A fourth wrote: "Love this so much."
TOWIE's Chloe Brockett makes cheeky dig at Saffron Lempriere during filmingEarlier in the week, Gemma shared her surprise at her success with her weight loss plan. She wrote: "I'm in shock, I came to see Eddie a week ago and I've just got back on the scales and I've dropped 13.8 pounds, nearly a stone. Just under a stone in a week. I was reduced to tears, I looked at you [Eddie] and was like, 'Sorry, is that right?' No vigorous exercise, no training for 8 hours a day."
A proud Eddie asked: "Were you ever hungry?" "No!", Gemma replied. "I'm sharp as a knife. I'm raring to go. I've never done any sort of plan where I've eaten real food, I've eaten nuts, I've eaten feta, eggs, meat, and avocado. It's bizarre. I just cannot wait, bring on week two."
Gemma was recently surprised with a proposal from boyfriend Rami, who pulled out all the stops. He gave Gemma a picture-perfect special moment last month during their Maldives holiday. Rami got down on one knee to ask for Gem's hand in marriage for the third time. According to sources, the reality star had no idea he was going to pop the question and was "shocked".
"She is absolutely thrilled and she can’t believe it is finally happening," a source said. "Rami had flown out hundreds of roses and there were thousands of petals." According to the source, 'Will you marry me?' was lit up in the sand. They added to The Sun that Gemma was clueless about the entire situation and assumed the couple were having a "relaxing dinner on the beach". The insider added that the engagement ring is "absolutely amazing".
