Amanda explained to Daily Mail that she packed on the pounds after becoming host of the popular real estate show. "I weigh around 10st 7lb. Last year I was 11st 7st, which was the heaviest I've ever been," she said. "I put on weight while filming A Place In The Sun in Europe. We'd go out boozing, and I was eating baguettes for lunch, followed by stodgy dinners."
She opted to commit to healthy living. "Since then, my weight has slowly returned to normal," she said. "I eat healthily and go to the gym four times a week." But it wasn't easy. "I hate celebs who say they're naturally skinny – I worked my butt off to look like this!" She added that she "isn't one of those women who can get up at 5am to go to the gym".
As for diet, she maintains that it's all about eating less. "One day I'm going to write a book about how to [lose weight]. It will be called Eat Less; Move More. It's not rocket science," she joked. "My take on it is that it's about choices and trying to use good sense." When it comes to cravings she's "pretty normal" and struggles with snacking. "I have to stop myself eating the leftover fish fingers at teatime. I think I'm pretty normal in that respect!"
Amanda also stays in shape by hiking. "I will never ever tire of this place. A good old lung buster of a walk to get here then you're rewarded with this. It's heavenly. Next time I'm bringing a flask and a hunk of fruit cake… care to share your hidden gems?" she captioned a post from a recent hike.
One way Amanda relaxes is by picking up a book and reading. In this post, she enjoys a quiet moment while on vacation, explaining that she struggled to get into holiday mode. "So this morning I woke up and thought 'Sod it' I cannot be everything to everyone. I need a bit of me in there somewhere. So here I am. Rose in hand, diving into the most brilliant book (have any of you read it?) and I'm just letting go. It's taken me a few days but I think I'm finally there…. I also want you all to realise that despite the Insta perfect pictures, shit hits my fan too," she wrote.
