  • 09 Nov 2018

She lost a whopping 63 kilos in just 12 months. Now, Josie Desgrand is sharing her weight loss secrets – and it may surprise you.

Speaking to New Idea, the 18-year-old from Queensland says her amazing body transformation is the result of adopting a self-love approach to life after enduring years of bullying.

“It is so important to really start caring about yourself and your body,” says Josie, who weighed 127kgs when she was just 16.

“It’s amazing how self-love can change your life.”

Today, Josie is not only feeling better than ever, but she’s unrecognisable after shedding half her body weight by swapping sugar and junk food for healthy food options.

“Two weeks was all it took for me to stop craving sugar and start seeing results,” Josie shared on her Instagram account, adding she now follows an easy and clean meal plan which includes tasty options such as a Moroccan chicken salad, zucchini fritters and sweet potato fries.

“Investing in my health was the best decision I ever made,” Josie continued.

Josie is the first to admit she’s tried plenty of diets and fads in the past in an attempt to beat the bulge however none of them worked.

“I really wanted to be slim,” she explains.

“But I wasn’t mentally strong enough to say no to bad decisions.”

It wasn’t until Josie transformed her thought process that she was able to see physical changes.

“It’s crazy how much my body and mind have changed,” she says.

“I don’t want to touch a single piece of chocolate again in my life. That’s my choice. Living healthy is the best decision I have ever made."
