EastEnders icon Natalie Cassidy has lost a whopping three stones over the years, slimming down from a size 16 to a size eight after overhauling her lifestyle. So what changes did she make to lose weight?
Natalie’s favorite treats that she considered her “downfall” included cheese, chips, and dipping sauces.
But she forced herself to quit to lose some weight and soon noticed the difference.
Despite eliminating them from your diet, cheese is often found in weight loss plans as it is a great source of calcium, fat and protein and contains high amounts of vitamins A and B12, along with zinc and phosphorus.
One study suggests that including calcium-rich low-fat dairy products in low-calorie meals may actually help people lose some weight while also protecting their bone health.
While cheese can be good for people, it should be eaten in moderation, as it is often high in saturated fat and salt, which can lead to high cholesterol, among other health problems.

Speaking on the RunPod podcast, she explained that her group of runners helped keep her motivated, saying, “All of a sudden we’ve become this little team of people and we’re really close.
“We have WhatsApp groups and we hang out together and post our races and it motivates you.”
With her newfound passion for nutrition and exercise, Natalie has formed a healthier relationship with her body.
Now, she feels “much more confident and comfortable” with herself, which motivates her to continue.
“I’ve learned to eat and be comfortable with who I am,” she said.
She showed her slimmer figure in the National Television Awards in 2020, flaunting her new petite size in a stunning black suit.
