Coronation Street<\/a> star Sue Cleaver<\/a> has shared a glimpse at the favourites she keeps stocked in her fridge, after revealing her impressive three-stone weight loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The soap star<\/a>, 61, has been displaying a slimmer frame of late as a result of being ‘seriously ill’ last year, as well as giving up alcohol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Closer Magazine, Sue has shared some of the healthier additions she’s made to her food collection after slimming down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Describing a trip to the supermarket as her ‘meditation,’ the soap star explained that she tries to manage her sugar levels, after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes<\/a> more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

She shared that while tries not to have ‘too much fruit’ due to its sweetness, she keeps cartons of pineapple juice in the fridge to boost her sugar levels after a trip to the gym.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: ‘For breakfast, I’ll have a slice of Jasons Protein Sourdough with an egg, or a bit of humous: I also have a kefir shot, and a scoot of Ancient and Brave collagen.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has shared a glimpse at the favourites she keeps stocked in her fridge, after revealing her impressive three-stone weight loss<\/p>\n

\"The \"It <\/p>\n

The soap star (left in June and right in 2007) has been displaying a slimmer frame of late as a result of being ‘seriously ill’ last year, as well as giving up alcohol\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Lunch is sardines, or I’ll up boiled eggs mashed up with avocado, jalopenos and spread it on crackers.<\/p>\n

‘For dinner, I do lots of stir fries, ramens and pilafs… I don’t have puddings at home, but if I’m out I’ll have a chocolate eclair.’<\/p>\n

Sue, who shared she now wears a glucose monitor called Dexcom to track her sugar levels, added that for diabetics, it’s better to eat sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n

The actress, who left the soap in May, previously confessed that there were moments on set when she felt ‘faint’ during filming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She explained: ‘If I’m about to go on stage or live shows and I don’t know if I’m going to make it if my sugars aren’t stable enough, and I don’t have time to prick my finger, you tend to think ‘let me eat this thing now’ and then you tend to feel the effects of it later or the middle of the show.’<\/p>\n

Sue previously insisted that her ‘body doesn’t define her’ as she opened up about her incredible three stone weight loss.<\/p>\n

The star also admitted she was still learning to battle ‘negative thoughts’ about her appearance after embracing a healthier lifestyle and regular work outs.<\/p>\n

Last year, she told Bella: ‘My body is now who I am. My body will change, my size will go up and down and I don’t define myself or get involved in any of those conversations around it’.<\/p>\n

In March 2024, Sue discussed her weight loss after participating in Dry January the year before (no alcohol for the month).<\/p>\n

She said: ‘I lost 18lb [in 2022’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here]. I’d already lost a stone and a half that year, because I gave up booze. I did Dry January and then I decided to carry on.<\/p>\n

‘If you’re doing that four or five nights a week, that’s a lot of calories.’<\/p>\n

Last year Sue revealed that since entering her 60s she feels that the world is now her ‘oyster after years of alcohol dependency.<\/p>\n

Telling Prima: ‘There are so many people my age who I speak to that are depressed about reaching 60. You feel like this is the end of the line, that everything goes down from here. And I absolutely don’t feel that way.<\/p>\n

‘I just feel like the world really is my oyster now, and there’s so much available out there. There’s so much that you can do.’<\/p>\n

She also revealed in the candid interview how her reliance on alcohol has lessened as she gets older, explaining: ‘I don’t have any fear around alcohol any more, and that is really freeing.’<\/p>\n

‘I never imagined getting to that state. I thought I had a dependency. I thought I couldn’t get by without having a glass of wine at night.’<\/p>\n

‘I thought life wouldn’t be great without a glass of wine. It would be absolutely great without wine. I just thought it wouldn’t. It’s the thinking around it that is the problem.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver has shared a glimpse at the favourites she keeps stocked in her fridge,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[236,92,105,11818,813,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-377878","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-coronation-street","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-sue-cleaver","12":"tag-tvshowbiz","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115101299264485888","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
