The vlogger’s daily diet began with a coffee, enhanced with French vanilla syrup and skimmed milk, which only added one point to her daily allowance. This was followed by two slices of wholemeal sourdough bread, costing four points, topped with butter and chicken for an additional three points.
She also expressed her newfound love for incorporating fruit into her meals. On this occasion, she opted for a pineapple snack, which cost no points at all. “Then because I’m going out and I’m leaving early I decided to have dinner for lunch,” she continued.
“So, stack of vegetables [no points], I’ve added this Korean hot chilli paste [one point] which is amazing – new favourite thing – plus some soy sauce. And then on top I added some chicken breast that I had cooked in the chilli paste… overall, yummy dish, it was only one point for dinner.”
Although the dieter didn’t have a ‘proper dinner’, she indulged in a number of treats that evening, including two glasses of red wine. She went on: “Then in the evening I met a friend for a movie but first up had a large glass of red wine [250ml is six points] – delicious. Oops, actually I ended up having a second glass of red wine – also delicious.

“Then I shared some chocolate buttons while watching the film and it was 28 points for the day.” Impressively, the vlogger claims she’s lost 40kg, or six stone, over the course of her weight loss journey.
In a number of separate clips, she’s raved about the countless benefits of shedding extra pounds, claiming that she no longer feels compelled to cover up and finds it less awkward to use public transport. “I was so conscious about being in my bigger body and taking up too much space.
“Kind of infringing on the space of the person sitting beside me to the point where I would completely contort myself to not take up too much space. Like, seriously to the extent of giving myself back pain or cramp because I’m so contorted.
“But now I just sit in my seat, get comfortable and there’s no headspace going towards ‘how does the person feel beside me?'”
