This Morning star Alison Hammond makes surprise admission about weight loss jab Ozempic
Alison told Good Housekeeping mag how she achieved her weight goal
THIS Morning presenter Alison Hammond says she dodged using weight-loss jabs to shed the pounds — after learning she was pre-diabetic.
The TV star, 49, said she exercised with the help of a personal trainer and changed her diet.
But while drugs such as Ozempic have been popular with celebs, they did not appeal to Alison, whose late mum, Maria had Type 2 diabetes.
She said: “For me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened.
“So I haven’t wanted to use them, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t in the future, and I certainly wouldn’t look down on anyone who did.
“My mum had type 2 diabetes and she was worried for me, so when I then found out that I was pre-diabetic, that was frightening.
“I thought ‘I have to be an adult about this’. The sweets had to stop – and the fatty foods.
“Twice a week I see my personal trainer, and I have a couple of weights in my bedroom.
“I walk, I stretch and sometimes I do a bit of yoga.
“I try to vary it so it’s not the same every day.
“After a session at the gym, I think I’m Venus Williams, with all those endorphins pumping around.
“If I miss a session or two with my trainer, I notice it. That kick you get out of the way you feel is so good.”
Alison told Good Housekeeping mag she achieved her goal with twice-a-week training sessions and changing her diet.
But she added: “I’m no longer pre-diabetic — so I’m a bit naughtier with my food now.”
“But because my body’s working properly, I can allow myself a bit of sugar here and there.
“I love my new shape and although I still have areas I’m conscious of, such as my arms and my tummy, it’s great being able to wear things I would never have been able to before. I mean, look at me, I’m a bombshell.”
FRESH CHAPTER
Alison’s new look comes after she opened up on her happy chapter with her new man.
The ITV daytime favourite broke her silence on her age gap relationship with David Putnam.
While Alison is 49, the masseuse is 27.
She told the same publication how he is “mature” – which she says is unlike herself.
Alison said: “I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference.
“But honestly, when we see the word ‘toyboy’ written about us, it bears no relation to what we have at all.
“Yes, I’m 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you’d understand. People have said to me, ‘We get it now.’”
She also told how her 19-year-old son had given the thumbs-up to the partnership.
