Lloyd loves the health benefits of lifting weights. "I lift heavy weights, so I look more toned," she says. "When I'm not with my trainer, [husband] Michael will boss me about in the gym – he's lost just under 2st, too. I also saw a nutritionist and now eat a certain amount of carbs, protein and veg. I even weigh the amount of oil I use – it really does work."

Lloyd enjoys protein-heavy meals such as salmon and veggies when she's in transformation mode. "The pink color of salmon comes from its rich levels of a protective antioxidant called astaxanthin," says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. "This compound has been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease by improving cholesterol and working in combination with the omega-3 fatty acids to protect the brain and nervous system."

Dark chocolate is one of Lloyd's favorite indulgences. "Dark chocolate is comforting. It signals to your brain that you're satisfied and finished," says Devon Peart, MHSc, BASc, RD. "And it is satiety-inducing [feeling satisfied], so you are more likely to feel like you've had enough." df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Lloyd enjoys an apple for a healthy snack just before she goes to bed. "Fruit and vegetable intake are thought to be associated with greater bone density and improved bone health," says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. "Findings from a study on healthy women suggested apples, in particular, may minimize the amount of calcium lost from the body and hence improve bone strength."

Grilled chicken and broccoli is another of Lloyd's go-to healthy meals. "Being rich in sulfur, brassicas like broccoli may support gut health, and as a result improve your defense against infection," Shubrook says. "This is because sulfur supports the production of glutathione which is important for maintaining the integrity of the gut lining, as well as supporting its repair. As a potent antioxidant, glutathione works throughout the body protecting cells from inflammatory damage."
