The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has shown off her slimmed down figure at an event in Canada.
The Duchess, who has shed almost 20kgs, looked stunning in a floor-length orange gown at the The Scarborough World Gala Lifetime Achievement Award.
In a world exclusive with Hello! recently, Sarah shared her weight loss secrets and talked about how being overweight felt like it was ruining her life.
“Every ‘Duchess of Pork’ headline reached the depths of my soul,” she says.
“I have battled with never being able to control my weight. I was up and down like a yo-yo. I was in control, out of control.”
The Duchess was prompted to make the changes in her life after being asked to attend the World Innovation Summit for Health in Qatar last year.
Since then, she has completely changed her diet and her way of thinking, which was not an easy task. She says the key to her transformation was quitting sugar.
“I had let sugar control me,” she says. Pilates was then added to tighten and tone once the weight started dropping off. “I am the fittest I’ve ever been because I am physically and mentally fit,” she says.
The mother-of-two has now been appointed as ambassador for the Institute of Global Health Innovation.
