It’s been a busy few months for Married At First Sight star Jules Robinson.
Not only has the reality star pulled off the wedding of the year — and her second, this time legal, ceremony — to Cam Merchant, but she's managed to lose an incredible eight kilos while doing it.
Speaking to news.com.au fresh after returning from her honeymoon in Vanuatu, the WW ambassador revealed she had relied on a cult kitchen gadget to eat healthy.
“Cam and I have got an airfryer at the moment and we’re a bit obsessed with putting everything in there, you feel like you’re having KFC and you’re not,” she said with a laugh. “It’s actually an amazing machine.”

Robinson, who follows WW’s new customised program, myWW, said she had managed to lose weight “really easily”, and still been able to indulge in a glass of wine when she wanted to.
“Obviously you’ve got to make that change within yourself and go, ‘Yep I’m committed to this’, but it was really simple and I didn’t change my lifestyle in any way,” Robinson said.
“I’m still very social and have a few drinks, and time with my girlfriends and eat still what I want, but just learning to maintain that balance of health and pulling back when you need to and just counting.

“It’s honestly that easy to join WW and lose eight kilos in the space of three months, I did.”
On a typical day, Robinson starts things out by eating a balanced breakfast.
“This morning I had boiled eggs and Greek fat free yoghurt with a banana. At lunchtime I’ll have quinoa, chicken, all different kinds of salad in there, balsamic (vinegar),” she said.
“And then dinner just meat and veg, and even though that’s really clean and really healthy, it means I can have that glass of wine.”

While Robinson’s health kick isn’t just about losing weight she hopes to lose a further five kilos to be at a “comfortable weight”.
“From the very beginning I’ve said healthy is the new skinny, and by no means do I want to be skinny,” she said,
“I embrace having a womanly figure, I just wanted my body to feel really healthy and in check for when I want to have a child and be in the best condition.”
As for her and Merchant, the couple are enjoying married life.
“Well, nothing’s changed,” she said. “I did marry him the first day I met him and now I’ve married him again. I’m so lucky to have two weddings.”
