Fitness instructor Vicky Young has revealed the secrets of Gemma Collins’ recent weight loss after helping the TOWIE star transform her diet over the past month.
As Ent Daily reported, fans last week hailed Gemma “motivational” after she uploaded a new shot of herself wearing a swimsuit, showing off her new hourglass shape.
Now Vicky has revealed that the star has been following a low-carb, no-sugar diet.
And, with the help of her old flame, former TOWIE star turned personal trainer Charlie King, Gemma is looking and feeling on top of the world.

Currently on holiday after a trip to Los Angeles, where she was spotted hiking up Runyon Canyon, Gemma has lost two and a half stone.
Vicky told New! magazine: “She’s still eating loads, but it’s healthy stuff.”
For breakfast Gemma enjoys poached eggs, avocado and tomatoes on sourdough toast, before “a big salad with kale, peppers and avocado, with either chicken or tuna steak” for lunch. Dinner is a veggie curry or healthy chicken or halloumi kebabs.
The strict diet sees Gemma swapping boiled eggs for chocolate if she fancies a snack and, says Vicky, the regime hasn’t just been great for her body, it’s helped her mind too.
The new diet and fitness plan comes at a good time for Gemma, who recently split from her on/off beau James “Arg” Argent.

Vicky revealed: “She has much more energy and she’s much happier. She’s in a good place at the moment. She’s been getting super fit in Malibu and getting herself mentally sorted.”
While she was in the States, Gemma showed off the results of her diet and exercise with a rather cheeky shot of herself sunbathing in a thong one-piece.
Personal trainer Charlie also praised the star. Posting to Instagram, he said: “She is working hard on her body overhaul. Pre LA we discussed the training she wanted to do, the goals and how we were going to fine tune the lifestyle.”
Charlie added: “We are smashing it. So proud of you @gemmacollins1.”
