Explaining how she has already transformed during week one, Gemma posted to Instagram: "I'm in shock, I came to see Eddie a week ago and I've just got back on the scales and I've dropped 13.8 pounds, nearly a stone.
Just under a stone in a week. I was reduced to tears, I looked at you [Eddie] and was like, 'sorry, is that right?' No vigorous exercise, no training for 8 hours a day." Chiming in, Eddie asked: "Were you ever hungry?" "No", Gemma replied. "I'm sharp as a knife.
I'm raring to go. I've never done any sort of plan where I've eaten real food, I've eaten nuts, I've eaten feta, eggs, meat, avocado.
