Blue’s Antony Costa reveals amazing body transformation after losing nine pounds in just five weeks on diet
BLUE'S Antony Costa has revealed his amazing body transformation after losing nine pounds in just five weeks on a diet.
The singer, 40, lost an amazing two stone after the first coronavirus lockdown in 2020 with help from Musclefood’s Goal Getters meal plan.
So in December Antony decided to restart the programme and follow the Super Slimmer plan, which focuses more on how many calories you consume each day.
Five weeks ago Antony weighed 14st 10, but now he weighs 14st 1. He's also managed to lose an impressive six inches in total from his thighs, chest and waist.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun about his meal plans and weight loss journey, Antony said: "It's really changed my life because it gives you the food you need, I have my snacks, they give you chocolate bars if you get a sweet tooth or a savoury tooth you've got your crisps as well.
“So now I know the stuff to get it's easier for me now to go shopping to get this stuff. I've had trainers in the past, one tells you one thing, another tells you that. It’s what works for you really, everyone is different!”
On a typical day Antony will eat porridge for breakfast, a microwave meal specifically catered for him at lunch time like spaghetti bolognese, and in the evening he will have something like a pork and cashew stir fry.
If he gets hungry throughout the day, his new meal plan also allows him to have two snacks.

Antony explained that his journey started back in 2020 after piling on the pounds during lockdown when he had no work.
But after sheer determination to make himself feel better both mentally and physically, he managed to lose 28 pounds with the help from the meal plan service.
The star told us: "In that first lockdown I was just picking and picking and picking. I didn’t know how long the first lockdown was going to be, some said two weeks, others said three months, it went on for a very very long time.
"Yes I did gain weight, I’m not afraid to say that, but I lost it with hard work and doing the intense course of MuscleFood, and cooking as well.";
The All Rise singer knew that he needed to do something because the penny dropped that restrictions were starting to ease and life would resume back to normal.
Antony said: "It really was to get my mindset into the fact of lockdown isn’t going to last forever and I’ve got to get back to work and I’ve got to feel good for myself and my wellbeing.
"TV puts on ex amount of pounds on you! I'm not the tallest in the world, TV unfortunately for me, ‘oh you look different on TV!’ I always get that comment.
"I’ve always battled with my weight up and down, I have to get into that mindset if im working towards something it gets me going.
"If someone says to me you're not working for the next four months, you just become lethargic, you become uninterested so to speak. MuscleFood really, really helped me. They guided me along the way in that sense."

Despite doing an amazing job over the past month, Antony would like to keep going and lose more weight.
The Breathe Easy singer said: "My end goal is another half a stone. If I lose another seven or eight pounds I'll be in a much better place than I am today.
"I am in a good place. I feel much more confident in myself. I'm one of these people, I've lost inches more so a than weight, I go on my clothes.
