Dragons' Den star Sara Davies has opened up about a 'terrible' setback in her health journey, admitting she struggles to stop snacking despite hiring a nutritionist. The entrepreneur, who lost three stone and reached a 'really happy size 14', revealed the challenge in an interview with Woman and Home.
Davies, 41, said she is 'terrible' at food picking and has enlisted professional help to maintain healthier eating patterns. 'I'm trying to eat healthily at the moment, so I've hired a nutritionist. She's putting together good meal plans for me, but I can't stop snacking,' she confessed.
The mother-of-two was spurred to overhaul her lifestyle after a stark warning from a nurse, who told her she would develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years if she didn't control her weight. Davies had developed gestational diabetes during her pregnancies.
Discussing her morning routine, Davies admitted she is 'usually grumpy as hell' but often exercises, either doing a strength class or a run. The youngest-ever female Dragon on the BBC show also announced in March that she would step back from the programme to focus on her business, Crafter's Companion, though she hinted at a possible return.
