Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies on her weight loss

Back in 2024, Sara dropped three dress sizes and has continued to be fit and healthy ever since.

In an interview with Closer magazine, she revealed that a diabetes warning from her doctor sparked her decision to get fit and lose weight.

During her pregnancies with sons Oliver, 11, and Charlie, eight, Sara developed gestational diabetes.

Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy, usually during the second or third trimester. It’s caused by hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance.

Though gestational diabetes causes no symptoms and resolves itself after birth, it does require management to prevent excessive fetal growth, preterm birth, and a higher risk of both the parent and child developing type 2 diabetes in the future.

Sara’s diabetes scare

“They said if I’d develop type-two diabetes within 10 years if I didn’t get a handle on my diet,” Sara revealed.

Continuing, she said: “It got to the point where I was on the cusp of being diabetic, but by changing my diet and the order in which I eat, I was able to turn that around and get my blood sugar levels under control. Now, I’m not even at pre-diabetic level.”

The interview also saw Sara reveal how she keeps her diet and weight under control. The star revealed that she makes her own healthy snacks, rather than raiding the chocolate cupboard at home.

Sarah’s healthy life changes

“My husband [Simon] has a chocolate cupboard, and God help us its dangerous. I have to make snacks like those little date things, because otherwise I’ll go into the cupboard in a moment of weakness. I’m only human!” she said.

For breakfast, Sara eats a bowl consisting of half porridge, half Greek yoghurt, along with a handful of nuts and some chia seeds. She also adds collagen and seaweed to get the proteins she needs. She also puts cacao in there to stop the sugar cravings. If she fancies an afternoon snack, Sara will have some Greek yoghurt and honey. She also makes healthy cookies with banana, nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds in them.

The star also has the occasional alcohol-free month, and changes the order she eats her meals, ensuring she gets the fibre in first.

Sarah also does weight training, and signed up for a programme for women in their 40s that helped her build healthy habits. She admitted she “can’t get on board with restrictive diets, and I fall off the bandwagon”.

Sarah also revealed that she goes for runs, admitting she feels “great” at the end of them.
