Zara McDermott Weight Loss
In November 2020, Made In Chelsea star Zara McDermott revealed she had undergone weight loss and lost three stone. Zara explained her motivation to overhaul her lifestyle was not to drop the pounds, but because she felt compelled to eat a healthier diet and exercise following her grandmother’s death.
Zara McDermott slammed a troll who claimed she weighs 7 stone. The follower commented on one of Zara’s posts: ‘I read that she’s 7st 7lbs and 5″6. If that’s true, she’s underweight. Body admittedly looks great but deffo underweight’ (sic).
Weight Loss Explanation
In a lengthy post, Zara wrote: ‘Sorry to keep having to explain myself on here, but I am definitely not 7 stone 7lbs. I have learnt a lot about posting my exact before and after weight as it can be damaging, and that’s something I would never do now.
‘Yes I have shared that I lost almost 3 stone (actually less than three stone) but no one is completely aware of my weight at my absolute heaviest and my current weight.
‘It’s entirely unfair for people to make statements saying I weight a certain amount when they have never ever heard that from me. There is nothing wrong with me at a size 10 and me at a size 6. I love myself in both pics.
‘I just want to be helpful and motivate other people who are on the same path as me to lead a healthier lifestyle. It was never about weight loss. And it’s not about weight loss.’
Zara said her motivation is to be able to run without being out of breath and ensure she has more fruit and vegetables in her diet, rather than gorging on pizza, takeaways and pasta.
She continued: ‘It’s about balance! As I have said before, I am naturally slim, but because I was in such a huge calorie surplus and eating so much, the poor quality of my diet overrode that!
‘I actually lost my nan a few years ago. And the reason for that was because she suffered a stroke, her arteries were so clogged up from such a poor diet which caused it. It was one my catalysts for making a change to my lifestyle!’
