Loose Women star Gloria Hunniford reveals her drastic dietary changes following a pre-diabetes diagnosis. She recounts her commitment to a healthier lifestyle, driven by her doctor's warning and the memory of her late daughter, Caron Keating.
Loose Women favorite Gloria Hunniford has opened up about her dietary overhaul following a doctor's health warning. Chatting with Woman Weekly, the esteemed TV personality revealed her approach to a medical diet: 'I'd dieted before, but going on a medical diet gives you determination.' The adjustments she made were straightforward, as the ex-Strictly contestant explained: 'I cut out all the sugar I could... (I also) gave up bread, pasta and potatoes.
' The Loose Women star, born in Portadown, went into detail about her daily meals since making the change: 'I'll have egg or sausage for breakfast, but no bread. It's soup or salad with fish for lunch, and in the evening I'll replace potatoes with cauliflower, which has the same sort of crunch.' The shift towards healthier living was prompted by a stark warning from her doctor after being diagnosed as pre-diabetic: 'My doctor said I was pre-diabetic and told me to take my life in my hands.' Despite her strict regimen, Gloria does allow herself the occasional indulgence: 'glass of wine or champagne'. Her commitment to better health is also driven by the memory of her daughter, who passed away over two decades ago, reports Gloucestershire Live. Gloria Hunniford has spoken candidly about the heartbreak of losing her daughter, Blue Peter icon Caron Keating, who passed away at the age of 41 in April 2004. Speaking to the Mirror in 2018, Gloria shared her grief: 'Losing a child takes you to the darkest spot you could ever imagine.' She continued: 'There's something extra hard about getting pregnant, carrying that baby, giving birth, treasuring that child, and then losing her. You don't think all your children will end up with PHDs or anything, but you pray to God you'll live long enough to see them live happy lives.' Gloria, who has had an extensive career in television, is perhaps most recognised for her role as a regular panellist on ITV's Loose Women since her first appearance in 2014
