PR queen Roxy Jacenko has revealed her very strict day on a plate after her incredible 12kg weight loss.

Roxy Jacenko – Ozempic overdose.

Former PR queen Roxy Jacenko has revealed the strict diet that led to her incredible 12kg weight loss.

Jacenko, 43, took to Instagram to explain what she eats on an average day, and the answers were not exactly relatable.

Celebrities are famous for sharing what they really eat, leaving the rest of us who find ourselves roaming the supermarket’s frozen section at 6pm completely flabbergasted.

For breakfast, she said that she has powdered vitamins and a cup of coffee. For lunch, she has some grilled chicken with vinegar with a side of quinoa.

If she needs a snack, Jacenko doesn’t head down to the local supermarket to see what chocolate bar she can buy on special.

Nope, the formerly Sydney-based PR guru sinks her teeth into passionfruit and finds it is the perfect “sweet” treat.

Finally, for dinner, Jacenko will eat a plate of broccoli … but don’t panic, it isn’t a completely plain meal. To spice things up, she adds some garlic and oyster sauce.

Yep, she’s just eating broccoli, there’s no slab of steak to go with the greens.

Jacenko’s diet comes after she decided to take action because she had gained 15kg as a result of using Tamoxifen, which is a hormone therapy used for treating breast cancer, a drug she’s on after having battled breast cancer in 2016.

The Singapore-based celeb publicist said giving up the booze has been vital to getting back to feeling her best.

“Without question alcohol, I was a binge drinker; like everything I do, I go full throttle even with things you shouldn’t, so I would drink three to five drinks a night without an issue, wake up fine and do it all again the next day. It was like habit, really,” she told news.com.au.

Jacenko explained that she doesn’t think her clothing size matters, but she simply wasn’t comfortable in her own body.

“I didn’t feel good, my clothes didn’t fit, I would put a pair of jeans on and feel the need to undo the top button so I didn’t cut off my circulation,” she said.

Jacenko admitted that she could have just gone out and bought bigger clothes but she was dedicated to fitting back into her old ones.

“Many would say, buy new jeans, but I wanted to get back to feeling and looking how I did pre-cancer treatment. That was important to me,” she explained.

Jacenko said losing the weight has made her feel more confident again and she’s feeling really good in her body for 2024.

“I feel much better within myself, I am not squeezing into items that once fit me comfortably and I feel alert, fresh and healthy – it’s amazing what a change in lifestyle and healthy eating can actually do from an overhaul perspective. I think it just takes sticking to it – I had tried before but would last a week or two and then give up – opting to try the craze of Ozempic, which didn’t end well!”
