I look like I've had Botox but it's just my new diet that cleared my wrinkles in 30 DAYS – I lost a stone & a half too
A WOMAN transformed her skin and banished her wrinkles through a new diet, all whilst dropping a stone and a half. Janis Luize Rocha Leites, 30, had been vegetarian for two years, but says it left her feeling sluggish, spotty, and 'not my best self'. 6 6 The San Diego make-up artist said: 'I wasn't happy with my skin or body. I had no energy.' 'My face would swell up, I had small red dots that looked like blemishes, and my hair was falling out.' Fed up, Janis turned to the extreme carnivore diet, which is a zero-carb lifestyle that consists entirely of animal products. Inspired by a friend whose glowing skin she envied, Janis did a full 30-day cleanse, eating only meat, salt and water. 'I noticed his skin and hair had completely changed,' she said. 'When he told me it was from the carnivore diet, I had to try it.' In just one month, Janis says the changes were dramatic. She was 20 lbs lighter and claims her skin had changed completely. She also felt sharper, saying her brain fog had also cleared up. Janis added: 'My double chin disappeared. My tummy looked lean. My periods became regular.' I've lost 5 stone and learnt the truth about thin privilege and men are nicer to me but a restrictive diet isn't the answer But the biggest shock was that her wrinkles had vanished. She said: It felt like I had got Botox done.' Her face was tighter and smoother but it was all natural. She added: 'It felt like I was biohacking my body.' Janis had also given up alcohol at the time, and believes the diet gave her body a full reset. 'The diet helps you with your cravings - I was a big sweet tooth but not anymore. ' she said. 'I feel like a total new person' After the diet, Janis reported that her periods also stabilised. She also believes the diet helped her fall pregnant in January 2025, although she admits there's no way to know for sure. 'I had said to my boyfriend, 'I'm getting more fertile ', I can't say it was 100% from the diet, but it felt like something in my body had changed.' Now 23 weeks along, Janis has slightly adjusted her diet during pregnancy. She now eats around 300g of meat a day, mainly red meat with some chicken or pork, plus scrambled eggs, bone broth, and the occasional piece of fruit or carbs to support healthy weight gain. 'I still feel amazing,' she said. 'I used to always feel bloated after eating vegetables, even when they were organic. Now, I feel so much lighter and more energised.' And she doesn't plan to stop after the baby arrives. Janis hopes to raise her child on a carnivore-based diet and plans to start them off with nutrient-rich bone broths. 'I've seen people talking about how it means they have no mood swings and sleep all the time', she said.

Susannah Constantine, 63, unveils her incredible skin transformation as she undergoes her first 'tweakment' in 17 years - a decade after going sober
Susannah Constantine has unveiled her incredible skin transformation after undergoing her first 'tweakment' in 17 years. The TV personality, 63, showcased the results of a bio-stimulating laser treatment after having the 'realisation' that looking after her skin wasn't just about her vanity now she is reaching 'midlife'. The What Not To Wear star's fresh new look comes a decade after she went sober following a long battle with alcoholism. Susannah claimed her friends have noticed the difference in her quality of skin after trying Alma's £350 Harmony Bio-Boost. She said: 'Reaching mid-life, I realised that looking after your skin isn't just about vanity, it's about vitality. I want my skin to reflect how I feel inside: strong, bright and healthy. 'Even my friends started noticing the difference - not asking if I'd had anything done, just saying how fresh and well I looked. 'That's when I knew this was something special. I also noticed that I didn't need to wear much makeup in my day-to-day life.' The Harmony Bio-Boost treatment is believed to be suitable for those 'looking to address skin laxity, acne, pigmentation and wrinkles'. Susannah's first 'tweakment' in 17 years comes after she tried Botox 'a long, long time ago'. The television personality's latest procedure comes after she explained that a prescription drug her mother took when pregnant had a permanent impact on her looks. Baring her teeth for the camera in October 2018, Susannah exposed the 'grey tombstone' teeth she was left with from birth. The fashion guru explained how her teeth were permanently discoloured by antibiotics her mother took in pregnancy. She said the drug tetracycline – commonly handed to mothers-to-be in the 60s and 70s – has had a lasting effect on her looks. In a candid video posted to Instagram at the time, Susannah took the brave decision to show her teeth while asking for advice on how to deal with the problem. The former What Not to Wear host told her 21,000 followers: 'When my mother was pregnant with me she took an antibiotic called tetracycline. 'And one of the side effects of taking that antibiotic was that the foetus would develop grey teeth throughout their life and as you can see my teeth are discoloured. 'If anyone knows of a solution to these grey tombstones I would be really grateful to hear what you have to say.' The antibiotic, designed to fight bacterial infections, was once prescribed for everything from sore throats and skin conditions to urinary tract infections. But studies later discovered that when taken by pregnant women, the drug can become calcified in the permanent teeth developing under their baby's gum line, discolouring them for good. Later, when the baby teeth grow out, the tetracycline-stained ones move into position and reveal themselves. The unsightly stains can appear as yellow, grey or brown marks as well as white spots and translucent edges, with few solutions available. Susannah said in a video called 'Teeth! Oh what to do?', which has been viewed almost 4,000 times: 'You can't get them bleached because what happens is the white parts get whiter and so the grey parts look greyer. 'And I don't want to get them bonded or veneered because I don't like fake-looking teeth.' One fan replied: 'My hubs has the same thing from his mum taking antibiotics when pregnant. He will never smile for a photo properly, lips always shut.' The Royal Pharmaceutical Society said tetracycline is no longer given to under-12s or pregnant women except in rare cases. It is still used to treat acne and the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia. Susannah's mother Mary Rose, who suffered from manic depression, died in 2008 aged 76. The TV star has described how the mental illness had an effect on her childhood as her mother was 'in and out of psychiatric hospitals' and made 'several suicide attempts'. Revealing a family history of struggles with booze, Susannah previously said on the on the ADHD Chatter podcast: 'I was born an alcoholic, my mum was an alcoholic and my grandmother was an alcoholic. 'I just say that alcoholism is a genetic disorder and it's a mental disorder – drinking too much is a symptom and you might have the same gene. 'Just be aware and if you're worried, I've been through it, I've got the medal, come to me.' Susannah, who is married to Sten Bertelsen, was very much an 'It Girl' in the 1980s, and even dated Princess Margaret's son, David, Viscount Linley for eight years. Susannah worked in America for designer Giorgio Armani before working for John Galliano in London. The presenter met long-term pal Trinny Woodall in 1994 and they began writing a weekly fashion column, Ready To Wear, and founded They became famous for co-hosting the popular TV series What Not To Wear from 2001 to 2005. She tied the knot with businessman Sten in 1995 and they share three children Cece, 20, Esme, 23, and Joe, 24, and have spent their three decades travelling the world.
