Katie Price
The mum-of-five has been having three colonic cleansing sessions a week to achieve her goals
Katie Price is on a mission to shed the 2st that she’s gained during lockdown and is undergoing three sessions of colonic irrigation per week to achieve her dream body, new. sources have told
The 43-year-old was filmed last week at the The Angel
Clinic in Loughton having the procedure and also therapy to turn her off sugar and carbs.
“Katie hates how her body looks right now,” a source close to the star said. “She’s not comfortable being bigger and wants to lose the weight and get back to her original size.
But Katie loves a quick fix and doesn’t think about the risks.”
Despite colonic cleansing being offered as a form of detoxification, medical experts warn the procedure has little to no benefits for the body. Furthermore, the procedure can sometimes be harmful – causing holes in the colon that require surgery, serious infections, dehydration and heart and kidney damage.
“Even though colonics have been linked to dangerous side effects and having three a week is quite extreme, she is willing to try anything,” the source added. “Her friends and her mum Amy are worried. They don’t know why she has to put her body through so much all the time.”
Katie has bemoaned her weight gain, admitting, “I genuinely have put on weight. I’ve put on 2st and I absolutely hate it. I’m fed up of moaning about it, but then I say that while I’m eating a burger, so I can’t help myself.”
She has also spoken about her desperation to become pregnant and recently overhauled her diet in a bid to make herself more fertile. But, after enjoying two back-to-back holidays in Portugal with fiancé Carl Woods, 32, sources say she has fallen off the diet wagon.
“Katie was being healthy and making home-cooked meals, but in Portugal she enjoyed herself and ate lots of delicious dinners and snacked by the pool. She fell right off the wagon and, now she’s home, is finding it so hard to get back on track. Friends and family tell her she could lose weight if she stuck to a healthy diet and exercise, but she admits she’s lazy and would rather do a quick fix like the colonics to see results," our source added.
"She says if she can get her weight down, that will only improve her fertility chances and she doesn’t really care what method she uses to get there.”
