Yahoo Style UK team


If you ever need proof that giving up alcohol can change your body, look no further than Jelly Devote.

The fitness blogger from Sweden completely overhauled her lifestyle after she stated putting on weight in her 20s.

Realising that she needed to cut down on her drinking, Jelly reduced her alcohol intake to a glass or two of wine or Champagne every other week, and the result has been nothing short of jaw-dropping.

ALCOHOL VS WATER UNHEALTHY VS HEALTHY UNHAPPY VS HAPPY ☹️ 20 VS 27 YEARS ‍♀️ . There is so many changes in how I look, how I feel, and how I live my life. . I’ve never felt better, I have balance. I eat a doughnut followed by a salad I don’t drink alcohol often, I down my water and most importantly I’ve gone from hating myself to loving myself ❤️❤️‍♀️ . People always ask how much I’ve lost, and I honestly don’t know what my highest weight was (not the picture) due to hating myself so much I didn’t weigh myself (probably around 75kg) and I don’t weigh myself anymore (lightest I’ve been 45kg, NOT HEALTHY MIND) ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️ . Weight doesn’t matter, you matter. How you feel about yourself. Don’t focus on a number that can fluctuate 5kg in two days ‍♀️‍♀️ . I’ve now been “balanced” since the crazy party nights in Bali ‍♀️ and I’m feeling SO good again! Party life ain’t for me! I rather be in sneakers then heals, and rather drink protein and smoothies then sipping champagne . #ibs #transform #fit #fitspo #fitness #workout #weightloss #transformation #beforeandafter

“I ended up weighing about 70kgs,” the 27-year-old explained on her website.

“I led a very unhealthy lifestyle – I drank a lot of alcohol and never went to the gym or exercised in general.”

Sharing a transformation photo to Instagram comparing how she looked before and after cutting back, Jelly went on to say that she’s never felt better.

“I’ve now been “balanced” since the crazy party nights in Bali and I’m feeling SO good again!” she continued.

Sometimes all you need is to believe ‍♀️✨ . I’m feeling filled with motivation today. I feel like my mind is set, and I already feel I can’t wait for next workout. I freaking LOVE that feeling!!!!! .

“Party life ain’t for me! I’d rather be in sneakers than heels, and rather drink protein and smoothies than sipping champagne.”

Now, Jelly hopes to influence others, including her 574,000 followers, to cut down calorie-laden booze, and it seems to be working considering sharing the side-by-side images have been liked almost 14K times and received hundreds of comments from inspired fans.

Though Jelly also credits healthy eating and exercising regularly for her transformation, she believes the most important factor was cutting down her alcohol intake.

“It’s simply impossible to have a healthy body and mind with that much consumption of alcohol,” she told Cosmopolitan.

The only one that can push you to change in the end, is YOU. . You decide how you want to live your life, what you strive for, how you want to be as a person. Only you can make the changes. . I know sometimes it’s hard to be motivated, we have all been there. But motivation is not going to come and knock on your door and ask if he can sneak inside you (wow. That sounded very wrong.. but anywho..). You need to find the motivation in you by pushing yourself!!! . It’s easy to find excuses, it’s easier to give up. But it’s so rewarding to reach your goals! Whether it’s changing and growing as a person, learn a skill, or a weightloss journey like mine. ❤️ . You can do it, only you can make the change. If you really want it, YOU CAN HAVE IT!! ‍♀️‍♀️❤️ . Going to bed, very happy and content I’ve done so good today even being very sick. It feels rewarding!!! . Ps. I’ve zoomed out a bit more on right yes, but I wanted them gorgeous shoes in . Ps2. Don’t forget my discount 40% on my programs is still active a short while more ❤️ (link in bio) . #weightlossjourney #transformation

But though she’s mostly found sipping sparkling water rather than sugar-fuelled cocktails, the fitness influencer continues to drink, this time in moderation.

“I have balance. I eat a doughnut followed by a salad. I don’t drink alcohol often, I down my water and most importantly I’ve gone from hating myself to loving myself,” she wrote.
