Woman’s ‘insane’ transformation after gaining 10kg

A Sydney personal trainer’s secret to her shredded physique wasn’t cutting calories – but doubling her food and gaining weight.

Imagine being able to completely change your figure while eating more?

It doesn’t seem possible – but it is exactly what Lauren Simpson did to overhaul her lifestyle and get “gains”.

The personal trainer from Sydney used to have an unhealthy relationship with exercise and food.

She previously weighed 50kg and said she had “horrible” skin, dark mood swings and brittle hair as a result of exercising too much and not eating enough.

Now the Sydney woman has gained 10kg after “shifting” her mindset and is happier and more confident than ever.
