Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole admitted to Vogue UK recently that in 2003, she lost weight by doing the Atkins diet. After getting up to 133 pounds (9 1/2 stone) at 5′3, she couldn’t fit into size 28 jeans anymore and decided to take action.
‘I actually went up to a size 29 (waist),’ she said. ‘I remember being in Selfridges and taking these size 28s into the changing room and not being able to get them on, and then getting on the scales and crying because I was nine and a half stone. Nine and a half stone when I’m only 5ft 3in.’
So following Jennifer Aniston’s lead at the time, she went on the Atkins diet. Every night for several weeks she ordered chicken in cream sauce and a couple of carrots for dinner.
‘The record company had just moved us into this hotel called K West and I remember I ate the same thing from room service - chicken in cream sauce with a couple of carrots - every night, for weeks, and I just felt horrible. But I was on this mission.’
Sounds mighty tasty…!
Clearly she has kept the weight off, because nearly five years later, she looks slim and fabulous!
