FRANCES Abbott has snatched the celebrity spotlight after her shocking transformation. Now she has revealed how she went from former Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s daughter to a fitness model.

The 26-year-old has spilt the secrets on exactly how she achieved her head-turning figure after competing in two bodybuilding events in Melbourne this month.

“So there has been some interest in what I was eating during my competition preparation. I have had a number of people ask me to tell them exactly what I eat ‘down to every last mouthful’,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I am happy to tell you exactly what I have eaten, I am happy to tell you exactly how I have trained and I am also happy to tell you that even if you do exactly what I did, getting the exact same results is not guaranteed. I weighed my food meal by meal for around three months, I woke up at 4.15AM most mornings to do fasted cardio and I also had to become a bit of a social recluse to get the results I achieved in the amount of time that I had. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I do it again? Definitely, but give myself more time. And go in with more understanding.

“I was eating and training like an athlete to compete in a competition. Not just to drop a few KGs ’to get ready for summer’. The challenge I now face is almost as serious as the one I was preparing for... reverse dieting and training in a way that will help me put weight back on with out me getting stuck in my head about putting on weight... Interesting huh?”

Frances showed off her lunch online which she said had “greens and baby spinach. Pumpkin. Tomato (CARBS) Chicken (PROTEIN) Avocado. A dollop of Vegan Red Hummus. (FAT) Pepper. And that’s it. Good, clean, simple food.”

In an interview with News Corp overnight, Frances said she eliminated all processed foods, alcohol, sugar, most carbohydrates and dairy, sticking to a high protein diet with lots of vegetables.

She counted her “macro” nutrients — the amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat in her food — and adhered to a rigid nutrition plan developed by a trainer at the gym she works at in Richmond.

Last month, Frances publicly announced she officially supports the Yes campaign for same-sex marriage and opened up about the division within her family on the issue.

Publicly going against her father’s views, she said it “doesn’t make sense” that same-sex couples are not allowed to marry.
