TOWIE’s Amy Childs quits alcohol for 1,200-calories-a-day diet

She revealed she ‘hated the way her body was’ and was ready to get back into shape earlier this week. 

And now Amy Childs has revealed more details about her tough new fitness plan, including only having 1,200 calories a day and completely cutting out alcohol.

The TOWIE star, 30, also said she’s planning on doing three workouts a week with a few extra cardio sessions in between while on Instagram Stories on Wednesday. 

Getting serious: Amy Childs has revealed she will only have 1,200 calories a day and has cut out alcohol as part of her new fitness plan

Taking to social media, Amy said: ‘I have a long way to go but I’m sticking at it. My calories everyday will be 1,200.

‘I will be putting pictures up every week of my transformation. I’m feeling so proud of myself, no alcohol. I usually drink every night!’ 

The mother-of-two also explained that she’ll be working out three time a week and topping up her exercise with cardio, with some of those sessions being online.  

Sounding energised by the new routine, Amy looked fantastic as she spoke to the camera while wearing a grey sports bra.

Amy wore her blonde locks down for the quick update and appeared to have kept her makeup to a minimum ahead of a workout.  

The recommended daily calorie intake is 2,000 calories a day for women and 2,500 for men, according the the NHS website. 

It comes after Amy revealed she ‘hates the way her body is’ and that she is ‘the biggest she has ever been’ at 10.5 stone on Monday. 

The reality star spoke to her followers from the gym as she explained to her fans she has been ‘very lazy with her diet and exercise’ recently.

She added that she has found it hard this time around to get her body back in shape after giving birth to her second child Richie Jr in 2018.  

Speaking to her fans she said: ‘Hi guys so today is the day 1 of getting back into shape, I’ve got to be honest the second time round I found it very hard, obviously having two kids to get fit.  

‘But I have been introduced to one of the best trainers out there Rob, so basically I need to get really fit.’

Trainer rob then interjected to say: ‘So the plan is we are going to be doing three full body workouts a week with weights and cardio workouts too, we are going to address her nutrition.’

Ok I’m not going to lie it has been really hard getting back, I found my first session with @robswainept very difficult however I am back on it, I am the biggest I have ever been and hate the way my body is, everyone follow my fitness journey.

‘I weigh just over 10 and a half stone! I have just been very lazy with my diet and exercise and I am back on it and can’t wait to show you my hard work. 

‘So guys I want you to follow my fitness and weight loss journey! By January I want to be feeling the best I have ever felt and want you all to follow with me!’

Amy returned to this series of TOWIE after taking a break from reality TV to have her two children Polly, three, and Ritchie Jr, two.

She has since delighted fans with her hilarious appearances alongside her daughter who has taken to using the phrase ‘bye hun!’

Last month Amy revealed she ‘lost herself’ for a couple of years, but has finally started to feel like herself again.

The reality star spoke candidly with new! Magazine and admitted she ‘forgot who she was’ after her children were born, but got her ‘mojo back’ after returning to TOWIE. 

Of her struggle at the time, she explained: ‘I feel like I’ve got my life back! I’ve got my mojo back. A couple of years ago after having the two children I felt like I lost myself a bit.’

Amy added that even her family and friends had told her she was ‘not the fun Amy’ they knew as she struggled with her mental health.

‘I was a little bit down from the break-ups. I forgot who I was. Having two kids is hard work and there’s just 15 months between Polly and Ritchie. 

‘Being a mum is the most rewarding job in the world, but you lose yourself and it becomes all about them. I don’t know if I had depression, but I felt very low at times.’ 

Amy added that she is very happy with her current beau Tim, who she said has a ‘lovely’ relationship with her two children.
