Connie Simmonds became ill in 2015 after following crazy, quick-fix fad diets and not taking care of her body. In order to make a change, she decided to study nutrition and improve her physical fitness, focusing on improving her overall wellbeing and self-love instead of obsessing over her weight. Connie dropped from a size 16 to a size 12 in just 12 weeks, after following a healthy workout and meal plan. Her incredible weight-loss story and willingness to speak out against social media beauty standards have made her a popular role model. She has appeared in the Mirror, Daily Star, and Glamour Magazine as one of their faces of British Beauty. Connie is passionate about fitness, makeup, food, and anything else that can be used to improve women’s confidence, self-love, and happiness. Her Beauty Inside Out philosophy is the foundation of this happy, healthy cookbook.
