Liz McClarnon: Hypnotherapy helped me ditch junk food

Ex-Atomic Kitten star's mum helped her kick bad food habits

Liz McClarnon is now happy with her figure

Liz McClaron has revealed that at last she's happy with her weight.

The former Atomic Kitten star has seen her figure fluctuate between a size 6 and a size 14 – but finally she's found the secret to keeping off the pounds.

'I let my mum hypnotise me,' says the singer, who's now a size 8-10. 'She treated me to stop eating crisps. I've not had any since.

‘I used to eat about 4 packets a day. Now I feel like I just don’t want them.’

Liz, 27, thinks it's the perfect solution to weight loss as dieting just made her miserable.

‘There's a lot of pressure to look a certain way when you’re in the limelight but I don’t give into it these days,’ she tells Celebs On Sunday.

And Liz now has no excuse for not eating healthily after she took home the Celebrity MasterChef title.

'I couldn't cook anything before,' she says. 'Now my boyfriend is grateful for my new skills [as] he's horrendous in the kitchen!'
