Geordie Shore’s Sophie Kasaei has lost 2st and dropped four dress sizes, yet still managed to get mortal. She tells heat how she did it
The Geordie lass lets us into her weight-loss secrets
‘i bought new pants and they were too big’
You’ll know her from her nights out on the toon with her Geordie Shore castmates, but you might not recognise Sophie Kasaei after her incredible weight loss.
Dropping 2st and going from a size 16 to a size 8, Sophie, 28 – who recently split from boyfriend of six years Joel Corry – gives us the lowdown on her new figure. But it doesn’t mean she’ll stop getting mortal... Have you always struggled with your weight? I was always the bigger one out of the Geordie Shore girls and I’d just accepted it. So, what changed? It was this summer when I cancelled a girls’ holiday because of the way I looked. Seeing photos of myself and seeing horrible comments about how fat and ugly I was – even though I’m strong-minded, that can get to you.
How did you lose the weight?
I lost 10lbs in ten days from just cutting the shit out, changing my diet and taking supplements. If you just change little things, you will see a difference. I used to wake up and have Gregg’s for breakfast and then mid-morning I’d have pizza from the night before. It was absolutely disgusting. I even had traction alopecia, where the side of my head went completely bald due to stress and bad diet. It’s not rocket science. If you wanna go out with the girls, go out with the girls, but don’t start mixing beer and wine.
did you cut out alcohol then?
Come on! I never deprived myself, but if I go out now, I’ll eat something really healthy before and just drink gin or vodka. Don’t get me wrong, I will wake up hungover, but if I’ve worked hard all week, I can treat myself.
How do you feel after your weight loss?
I feel good in myself. I’m confident enough to go out with the girls. People aren’t really aware that I’m single yet, but when word gets around then, yeah. If you look on my Instagram, I’m taking so many more photos of myself, cos I’m really proud.
did you buy yourself a whole new wardrobe?
I did order some pants, and I had to send them back cos they were too big! I was like, “Oh my God, I’m actually a size 8 and before I was size 16.” I remember going to River Island and trying on some jeans, and I couldn’t even get one leg in. I can finally fit into jeans and little dresses!
