Operation Transformations Aoife Hearne has told people that they should stop trying to lose weight at the moment.
The dietician said that although people may think its the perfect time to cut back due to being stuck at home, now isnt a good time to focus on weight loss.
She revealed that is important not to be too restrictive during these complicated times.
I think this is potentially a high-risk time for people to get sucked into the diet mentality, she told the Irish Daily Mirror.
Id really encourage people to not even have weight as a focus to get through this. I think if we are focusing on that, it actually doesnt help long term.
Many of us are gaining COVID kilos and it is so hard right now. We are being bombarded with so much information and much is very negative.
When it comes to eating, peoples expectations at the moment are too high.
This is not being perfect with our eating. It is about eating as well as we can and allowing the treats because they are going to come in.
This is all about survival in my mind.
Aoife Hearne was back on our screens last week as Operation Transformation returned for a new spin-off show.
It focused on the different ways that people can keep their minds and bodies healthy while staying at home.
During the show, viewers were introduced to a number of households around the country and the different ways they were surviving and keeping themselves busy.
Viewers loved Operation Transformation: Keeping Well Apart and took to social media to gush over the show.
Well done to everyone #OTKWA, one fan wrote.
That was a really great show which I think will really resonate with lots of people right now. Compassionate, supportive and nonjudgmental. Looking forward to next episode already.
