Contestants on RTE’s Operation Transformation We don t usually specify calories because people can really get stuck on numbers and it can be harmful, but when we tallied it up the contestants calorie intake it is the equivalent of what we would recommend for a five-year-old.
Calling on the show to end the normalisation of restrictive dieting, Sinead said: If diets worked, we wouldn t be having this conversation. Ninety five per cent of intentional calorie restriction will result in weight regain within a five-year window, a huge per cent gaining more weight than they began with and during that dieting period.
Sometimes I might falter a little bit, but I am only human. Nobody is a super woman. There might be times when I am half way through an exercise, and I might give up, but I will get back up again and I will do it again because you have to. If you want results you are going to have to do something for it.”
Ms Hartigan, who works as a general nurse in St John’s Hospital, Limerick, said she is looking forward to the challenge ahead. The meals so far are great. I’m trying to get ahead of myself for cooking because I am going to be working Sunday and we are away filming then as well, so I will be busy over the next few days.
