What did Lucy Mecklenburgh say?
The new mum said: “I put this on my story the other day and I’ve had soooo many DM’s asking what pregnancy diet I’ve been on, what extreme exercise plan I’ve followed.
“Basically what’s the magic pill that helped me lose the 4 stone pregnancy weight.
“Sorry to tell you but there’s no magic pill, no fad diet and no quick fix.”
She continued: “I’ve been a little quiet about my postpartum journey in general, pregnancy weight gain, postnatal exercise regime, my new body shape & postpartum weight loss..
“Roman’s 6 months old and to be honest I had this image in my head of being back to regular exercise and healthy eating in 6 weeks after my all clear from the doctor.
Sorry to tell you but there’s no magic pill, no fad diet and no quick fix.
“Let’s just say it wasn’t quite like that.
“Biscuits & coffee for breakfast, lunch & dinner some days! If I got 1 hour to myself I would nap not do burpees haha.”

Lucy admitted she “tried to fight it and attempted exercise” but she had “no energy” and “wasn’t ready to workout yet”.
Instead, Lucy “decided to 100% focus on looking after Roman”.
The star explained she began doing stretches and “short workouts” around two or three times a week at three months postpartum.
She also did “daily walks with the pram” during lockdown to “keep her sane”.
She added: “My advice to new mamas is every journey is unique like every body & baby is unique.
“Don’t put any pressure on yourself!!
