Geordie OG star Marnie Simpson has revealed she lost more than three stone in weight after giving birth to her son Rox.
The 28 year old new mum said she weighs less now than she does before she fell pregnant.
And the reality star's weight loss is down to her cutting out sugar and eating healthily to help treat her chronic UTI.
Marnie, who has been praised for speaking out about the rare condition, opened up in an exclusive chat with OK! online about how her chronic UTI caused her to drop from around 13 stone during pregnancy to around nine and a half stone after labour.
When asked about her weight loss, which she has shown off on her Instagram since giving birth to Rox, Marnie's boyfriend Casey Johnson said: That was the illness, because she couldnt eat anything sugar
To which Marnie clarified: I couldnt eat anything with sugar in, and everythings got sugar in. My doctor was like: Look, youve had no immune and antibiotics arent really the best thing to
Casey added: They kill your immune system. New mum Marnie explained: They get rid of all the good bacteria.
The best thing about fighting this [chronic UTI] is your own immune. So, your immune system needs to be the best it can be.
So she [Marnie's specialist] told me to cut out all sugar, drink loads of water, eat loads of fruit, eat loads of greens which Ive never done in my life.
So, I was in so much pain, that I was treating my diet like medicine. Thats how I was looking at it.
Marnie, who is starring alongside Casey in the new Geordie OG series, continued: I was terrified to eat anything bad and I was constantly eating spinach and asparagus and greens and I wouldnt have anything else.
So I just dropped weight really quickly after the birth but it wasnt even something I meant to do.
Marnie explained how she had mixed emotions about losing the post-baby weight in such a way.
She said: It was just off the diet. Its bitter-sweet really. I tried for years to lose weight when I met Casey. It would take something like this for me to actually stick to a diet!
Im smaller now than before I was pregnant. I was about 10 stone four or five before I was pregnant. And I think Im about nine stone [now].
And it's not just the reality star who has lost weight since the birth of her son Rox, as Casey revealed he has also shed the pounds after eating healthily alongside Marnie to support her.
Casey: But, even Ive lost a stone by eating what shes eating. I was 12 stone and now Im 11.
Marine: Its cos hes eating good as well!
Geordie OGs premieres on Wednesday 26th February at 9pm, on MTV!
