Nigella Lawson weight loss – how you could lose up to THREE stone WITHOUT dieting

The 57-year-old has always been pro self-indulgence, having once suggested taking a doughnut and making french toast with it. 

Back in 2015, she criticised obsessive diet culture and ’clean eating’ because, for her, life is all about balance. 

She told Good Housekeeping Magazine: “I wouldn’t want a life where I lived on chia seed pudding, just as I wouldn’t want to life where I lived on eggs Benedict or steak and chips. 

“I love kale and I’m an avocado obsessive. But life is about balance, it’s not about being smug. You don’t eat things because you think they’re good for you. 

“Also, you can guarantee that what people think will be good for you this year, they won’t next year.” 

So how did curvy Nigella get in such great shape? Surgery (but not the kind you might expect) apparently. 

According to the Telegraph in 2015, Nigella said: “I had a very glamorous operation – a double bunionisation. I couldn’t walk to the fridge afterwards and, actually, it’s quite a good diet. 

“Not because I stopped eating but because you can say to someone, ‘Can you get me a slice of cake?’ but it’s kind of embarrassing to say, ‘And now could you get me a second slice?’

“So I haven’t really eaten any different, but I had fewer opportunities to eat.”

The self-taught chef has also attributed keeping in shape over the years to yoga. 

She told Good Housekeeping: “It’s certainly true my weight went up – that happens in life sometimes. 

“I have never been on a diet to try to lose weight. I feel like I haven’t lost weight, but I’m possibly in better shape. I am doing a rather slow form of yoga now called lyengar.
