Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe on her ‘guilt-free’ Christmas diet and how she feels sexier than ever after learning how to wear her curves ‘with a smile’

JENNIFER Metcalfe has lifted the lid on her “guilt-free” Christmas diet and revealed she now feels sexier than ever after learning how to wear her curves “with a smile”.

The Hollyoaks star has embraced a fasting plan which allows her to drop weight without giving up the foods she loves, and it worked a treat over the holidays.

Jennifer, 34, admitted she stuck to her “5:2” diet over Christmas as it allowed her to tuck into delicious dinners without breaking the rules of her eating regime.

The Hollyoaks actress told the “Even though I over-indulged at Christmas, I did my two fasting days so it was guilt-free.”

She explained her LighterLife Fast plan has helped her finally feel happy about her killer curves.

Jennifer added: “My body may have been a bit better physically a few years ago but now, because I’m so confident, I think it looks better.

“It’s sexy to wear your curves with a smile… I’ve been on diets before and they do control your life…

“Your relationship because you can’t go and share a bucket of popcorn at the cinema, your friendships because you can’t go out and eat and drink loads with them.

“Once you get that under control, everything else falls into place.”

The brunette beauty recently told  she is also doing more yoga, and is even walking to work twice a week to increase the amount of exercise she gets through.

She said: “It’s only a mile and a half each way but it just adds more physical activity into my week without much effort.”

Hollyoaks regular Jennifer went on to reveal she has finally learned to love her curves.

She added: “I like my body the way it is and I don’t want it to change.

“I’m at my happy weight and feel confident. As I’ve got older I’ve realised that if I’m a bit curvier one month I’m fine with it and know I can be slimmer next month.

“I’ve learnt to embrace the changes.”
