Clare Balding has spoken candidly about her weight loss, sharing the simple dietary swaps that have helped her maintain her slimmer appearance.
The 54-year-old BBC Sport presenter explained that despite giving up certain foods, she doesn't feel like she's "missing out."
Speaking to Hello!, Balding revealed she has eliminated pasta and bread after adopting a low-carb lifestyle, while also keeping an eye on her sugar intake.
"I've worked hard at it and feel better," she shared. "I got into my 50s and thought, 'I'm just going to be fat and happy', but then a friend talked about a low-carb diet and the late Michael Mosley publicised this form of weight loss, too, and I thought, I'll give it one more go - as I've tried so many diets over the years - and see if it works. And it did!"
She explained she's even rethought her approach to alcohol, choosing a gin and tonic over red wine.
"I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of things," she said, adding that the change has given her a renewed sense of confidence in how she dresses.
She told the outlet that her change in diet along with her daily six-mile walks have given her a newfound confidence.
"I've got massive bones," the sports presenter, who is gearing up to release her debut novel, Pastures New, said. "But I can now put on a pair of trousers with a belt and my shirt tucked in and I went for years without being able to do that. That feels great."
The broadcaster's comments come ahead of her appearance on the celebrity installment of The Traitors.
Balding admitted that any friendships she shared with her Celebrity Traitors castmates were quickly cast aside once filming got underway for the cutthroat BBC competition.
The special edition of the hit show places well-known names inside a castle in the Scottish Highlands, where a hidden group of "Traitors" work to secretly eliminate the rest of the players.
Joining Balding in the line-up are 18 other stars, including Stephen Fry, Olympian Tom Daley, pop singer Charlotte Church, Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway and singer Paloma Faith.
Speaking ahead of the highly-anticipated series, out later this year, Balding told The Sun in May: "Obviously I knew quite a lot of them before I went in, but the friendships you had before go out the window."
Adding: "That, for me, is very challenging because I like to be friends with everybody. It's brutal, but I think I'm glad I did it.
"It will make good television and there are some really strong moments."
