The Only Way Is Essex star found herself eating "whatever someone would put on the plate in front of me" during the numerous lockdowns amid the coronavirus pandemic, but eventually decided enough was enough.

Frankie, who is dating personal trainer Luke, went on to explain that she had an issue with the portion sizes of her food before going on the food plan.

“Before starting on the MuscleFood plan, I was having the same portion sizes as my boyfriend. He’s much bigger than me, both muscle and height wise, and we have completely different body shapes.
"As he’s a man, they can get away with eating so much more, so the food plan really worked for me to help with portions.”
“I used to eat whatever someone would put on the plate in front of me, which is why I really needed to control my portion sizes. I now have my food on a smaller plate which is a really good idea.”

She continued: “No one wants to start a diet when you feel like you have to do a certain amount of exercise a day, because you start being harsh on yourself and don’t end up doing it.
"If you lose the weight steadily, you’ll keep it off for longer, rather than a crash diet where you always put the weight straight back on – that’s why I loved this plan.”
Proud of her progress, she added: "I didn’t realise how good I really looked until I saw the before and after images the other day – I can be a bit hard on myself sometimes."
Frankie, who recently flaunted her figure as she enjoyed the sea during her Mexico, also shared the photos onto her Instagram feed.
