Despite not tracking her calories or restricting her eating in any way Ms Evans has been able to revolutionise her health, with a 10 per cent body fat loss, one kilo muscle mass increase and 10cm loss around her abs. 

‘I’ve reduced my alcohol consumption,’ she said, explaining why the body becomes sluggish after we pour ourselves a drink. 

‘Low calorie drinks are okay but it’s not just the calories that make you fat. The body doesn’t like ethanol as it sees it as a toxin, so therefore will prioritise digesting the ethanol to remove it from your body over food.

‘As a result all the food you’ve eaten that day/after struggles to be digested and gets stored as fat.’

Ms Evans removed processed food from her diet and significantly reduced the amount of saturated fat she was eating.

ALICE EVANS’ SUBTLE HEALTH TWEAKS: 

1. Reduced alcohol consumption I’ve only drank once this year. Low calorie drinks are okay but it’s not just the calories that make you fat. The body doesn’t like ethanol as it sees it as a toxin, so therefore will prioritise digesting the ethanol to remove it from your body over food. As a result all the food you’ve eaten that day/after struggles to be digested and gets stored as fat.

2. No ultra processed food, stopped consuming high palatable ultra processed foods. Fake food is out and real whole foods are in

3. Completely limited and reduced the amount of Saturated Fat I have in my diet. This can help lower your Cholesterol and blood pressure if you are high in this. So I’m stoked my visceral fat has dropped 4 levels. Heart is nice and healthy.

4. Increased my FIBRE having a lot more beans and lentils. About 3 – 4 servings a day. Fibre fills you up and is amazing for gut health

5. Increased my fruits & vegetables had a lot more salads with all my meals. Plants are naturally low in calories so you can have high volume for little calories. They also fill you up due to the fibre and water content

6. Absolutely no animal products, last year I was consuming a little more chocolate and cheese than I was liking but have completely cut that out now. Both being extremely high in saturated fat and very easy to over consume.

She went on to increase her fibre levels with more beans and lentils, aiming for three to four servings a day so she feels fuller for longer.
