REBEL Wilson has revealed the strict regime which helped her shed five stone.
The 42-year-old Aussie actress embarked on a self-confessed “year of health” in 2020, hitting her goal weight of 11st 8lb and managing to keep her size down ever since.
As well as exercising hard, Rebel has followed the Mayr Method diet plan.
The diet, developed by Austrian physician Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr in 1901, boosts weight loss through chewing food thoroughly, stopping snacking, and reducing gluten and dairy intake.
Instead, those on the plan eat high-alkaline foods like fish and veggies.
But it’s not all salads and hunger pangs, Rebel starts her day with a big breakfast – as the plan works by reducing portion sizes as the day goes on.

For breakfast, the actress could be having a vegetable omelette, porridge with fruit, or avocado cream with smoked salmon.
An ideal lunch would take place at 3pm and would involve vegetables served with either fish or carbs (but not both).
Then dinner would be either a smaller portion of protein and veg.
Instead of snacks, dieters are encouraged to drink lots of water and green tea.

Low-grain carbs such as quinoa are allowed, but bread and pasta are no-nos on the diet, as well as fizzy drinks and red meat.
Rebel kickstarted her weight loss at an Austrian wellness centre where sugar, alcohol and caffeine are banned, dinner is frowned upon and guests chew every mouthful 40 times.
Liz Hurley and The Rolling Stones are among the celeb alumni of the Vivamayr Altaussee centre in Lake Altaussee, which is known for its regimented diet plan.
Rebel went twice, most recently in November 2020, in a bid to improve her health.
The comic was at an appointment about freezing her eggs when she was told losing excess weight would be the best way to increase her chances of becoming a mother.
Rebel has previously revealed how she was a “normal size” as a child, but gained weight in her twenties after being diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
After the doctor’s frank advice, she started gradually lowering her calories while embarking on HIIT workouts.
“When I was going through and looking into fertility stuff, the doctor was like, ‘Well, you’d have a much better chance if you were healthier’,” she said during an Instagram Live.
“I was actually a bit offended. I thought that even though I was bigger, I was pretty healthy.

“So that’s what started it – that if I lost some excess weight, it would give me a better chance of freezing eggs and having better quality eggs.
“At first it wasn’t even for myself, it was thinking of a future mini-me and their quality.”
