Claire King has been on the TV for years but Emmerdale viewers noticed she had slimmed down after making a permanent return to the ITV soap in 2019. How did she do it?
The actress has previously spoken about her weight loss, revealing her trainer usually puts her on a vegetarian diet plan.
She managed to shed 10lb in recent years and has been very open about how she did it.
Research has suggested there are several elements to switching to a vegetarian diet plan that can help promote weight loss.

These include:
By choosing high-fibre veggies, such as broccoli, cauliflower, courgette, leafy greens and mushrooms, people will remain fuller for longer and can decrease their calorie intake.
Protein improves satiety levels and if people want to shed the pounds they should aim for a daily intake between 1.6g-2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight.
Consume high-protein vegetarian foods such as beans, nuts, seeds, lentils, eggs, dairy products, and soy foods (such as tempeh, tofu, and edamame).

She also cut out wheat, dairy and red meat six days a week.
Claire told The Mirror: “[My trainer] usually devises vegetarian diets.
“I pleaded with her to include some meat, so she let me add chicken.”
A study conducted over 18 week found that people who cut out meat lost 4.5lb more than people who didn’t.
The actress also credited her transformation to popular dieting method intermittent fasting, with some publications reporting she followed the 5:2 diet.
The weight loss technique sees people limit their intake of food and drink to a set window of around eight hours per day.
It involves eating a normal, healthy diet for five days every week and then fasting on 500 calories on the remaining two days.
