If you’ve been keeping up with radio host Jackie O, you would’ve seen the impressive health kick she’s been on. What began as a lifestyle reset after openly discussing a pandemic-induced weight gain, Jackie was determined to get back into shape by leading a healthier lifestyle and setting a better example for her daughter.
“I’m not looking to be Instagram skinny,” she told Daily Mail. “There are more important things than being a size six.”
And now, 18kgs and a Weight Watchers ambassadorship later, Jackie is looking and feeling better than ever.
In fact, her weight loss journey even caught the attention of online scammers who were using her image to promote diet pills.
What does Jackie’s day of eating typically look like?
These days the bulk of Jackie’s diet is no longer made up of takeaway meals, but instead nutrient-dense home-cooked dinners (accompanied by the occasional glass of wine and chocolate, of course).
Jackie’s lunch will often be made up of Vietnamese rice paper rolls which contain both protein and a high vegetable content. As a protein-rich snack, Jackie keeps pre-cooked slices of steak handy and will reach for a smoothie or Starbucks Frappuccino when she’s on the go.
Dinner includes vegetables and a protein whether it be chicken or steak.

What is your favourite breakfast and lunch when you’re at work or on the go?
I’m stating the obvious, but Jackie must feel immense pressure to look very thin due to being scrutinised by the public so much.
yeh true – love your new avatar btw Petal
It sounds like she’s eating a lot healthier, which is great.
I like her diet. Plenty of meat and veg.
I am also a fan of the Vietnamese rice paper rolls!
Good on her
I always have overnight oats which also has chia seeds in it for breakfast. And lunch is always different but I do love sushi, a gourmet sandwich or even a Banh Mi. Those are my go-tos.
Yum Izzy09 .I like the sound of your breakie and lunch.
Rice paper rolls sounds good right now
Sounds sad. Yes to not eating junk food, more home prep
Yep, and processed foods need to go to be healthy too.
Yeh I’m usually only able to home prep my foods – not a lot of dairyfree options out but atleast there’s some
A healthy diet can make a huge difference to energy levels as well as weight.
A good role model for her daughter.
Yes fantastic!
WEll I dont look anywhere near as great as she does but I have also lost a good deal of weight. 20kg infact and I do feel much happier but would like to drop some more. Its taken me 2 years so far but I will keep chipping away at it.
Good for you Meedee – 20kg is a lot, glad you are feeling happier and healthier too.
Good that you feel happier but don’t focus on weight just how you feel about yourself is more important.
I had no idea she had put on any weight.
I noticed when she was a judge on that funny dressup show on tv.
I thought Weigh Watchers went bust or was it Jenny. Craig?
I thought it was Weight Watchers too Perthchic
That wasn’t a lot of info really, but she does look nice
I usually have breakfast at home, usually cereal and coffee. Salads for lunch while at work.
I have cereal for breakie most days.
I have celery juice and fruit for breakfast,and more fruit later, have not been sick for years. Keeps me going until lunch.
sounds great!!
It’s a shame the article mentions her weight loss rather than focusing on the important parts – the healthy habit changes.
Yes I agree the focus should be on how well she feels and the weight loss a bonus.
Glad that Jackie O is happy with her weight loss and her body.
I so need tips for how to get rid of covid kilos
She should just do her!
Sensible eating is best but often hard to stick to
It’s so easy to have a treat yeh!
The Vietnamese rice paper rolls sound like a lovely lunch.
Yes yum!
Sounds pretty good. More veggies will improve almost any diet.
Yes more veggies, especially raw and fruit.
Sounds like a heavy protein diet to me. You need healthy carbs like fresh fruit and veggies with some raw for your brain and body to be healthy.
Vietnamese rice paper rolls really yum with peanut sauce.
Interesting to be honest nothing new, im trying to be this healthy but cant help not having a little snack in the evening which is something i need to work on
I like her mindset about body size/shape.
I like the Woolworths Free From brand of cornflakes – there’s no dairy in them!!
Since my last comment on this article, I’ve lost weight and put it back on. Hoping that when it starts getting warmer I can motivate myself to lose weight again.
She’s looking great.
Rice paper rolls are also my go-to when in the office.
I love a good balanced diet
I need to lose a little weight for helath reasons, but it’s hard.
I’m so glad I’m not in the public eye. I love my food and the bulk of my diet is home cooked and healthy
Rice paper rolls are great.
Jackie looks lovely
Sounds delicious, easy to apply
Rice paper rolls with peanut sauce yum!
I think she always look lovely
Healthy eating is always best
If I’m out shopping around lunch time I usually grab a Vietnamese rice paper roll.
This sounds like a pretty sensible diet – good to see.
Good for her.
She looks really good and it’s great that she is eating much healthier food.
