Davinia, who gave up drinking in 2009, has stated that her life took a full turn for the better after her mother’s tragic death. She claims that she was able to lose weight by ‘counting chemicals’ rather than calories. In an interview with This Morning, the mother of 4 boys said,
You don’t count calories, you’ve gotta count chemicals. What I’ve done over the years is… because I eat on depression…When I’m upset or stressed I reach for carbohydrates, and that’s a form of biohacking. But basically, you’re trying to hack into your hormones to boost your mood.
So instead of drinking, which she gave up 13 years ago, Davinia Taylor turned to the comfort of carbohydrates and sugary food in an effort to cope with the passing of her mother. However, she claims that her bad diet, which included seed or vegetable oils, was what led to her unhappiness and weight gain. She added,
And the one I found out – more than sugar would you believe – is that vegetable oil and seed oil actually makes you depressed. It’s not meant to be in our diet but it’s everywhere.
Promoting her weight loss book, she also said, “And when I cut that out, my body started functioning better. And I could metabolise the food I was storing and get rid of it… And then improve my mood and start exercising.”
Davinia explained that this process is called biohacking where you train your brain’s relationship with food to prevent overindulging. She went on to say that she has changed her ‘gut microbiome’ and has become ‘metabolically flexible’, so she can now eat one slice of pizza instead of the whole thing. When asked how people may participate in the biohacking process, she stated,
You can do little things like cold showers that change your hormones. My mantra is: “feed the brain and the body will follow.
Davinia has faced other challenges in her life besides this one. When she and her ex-husband Dave Gardener were going through a divorce, she was forced to put her infamous partying lifestyle behind her. Dave obtained full custody of their son Grey at the time as a result of her excessive drinking habit.
Regardless, we can say that Davinia Taylor is a true example of how a person with strong determination can easily undergo weight loss. Currently, the 45-year-old looks absolutely fit and stunning.
