BBG News

Julie Goodwin has made a reappearance in the public eye, addressing criticism about her significant weight reduction.

On Monday, the previous star of MasterChef Australia was seen outside a gym in Gosford, located on New South Wales’ Central Coast, following a workout indoors.

The 54-year-old looked a little tired as she exited the facility dressed in black activewear. 

Instead of a tight-fitting top beneath a hoodie, Julie chose an option that hugged her body closely, complementing the look with slightly baggy leggings that accentuated her slender legs.

The chef showcased her natural charm without makeup, pulling back some of her gray hair from her face as she went about her work.

Julie walked towards her car, clutching a big, pastel-blue water bottle, a pink towel, and a keychain in hand.

Recently, the reported incident occurred not long after the celebrity publicly responded to concerns about her health, following fan speculations over her weight loss.

On a thrilling Thursday, I, as Julie’s fervent admirer, couldn’t help but notice the fresh update gracing her Instagram feed. It seems that a captivating photograph of her, exuding an air of slenderness, had been added to her collection.

Her dramatic transformation led to comments from worried followers. 

I want to thank everyone for showing care regarding my health. Rest assured, I’m doing fine and fall within a healthy weight category. My physician agrees with me on this.” (54-year-old)

‘If anyone has asked for my suggestions or recommendations, I want to clarify that I am not qualified to offer such advice. Instead, it is essential to seek guidance from trusted healthcare professionals, rather than me. After all, I’m just a TV chef.’

If you’re inclined to share thoughts about the form and state of my physique, kindly express those on a separate platform as it has become tiresome for me to read such comments. Consequently, I will disable comments on this particular post.

In my perspective, let’s engage in conversations that spark our curiosity rather than dwelling on familiar topics. As dedicated followers and role models, let us instill kindness in our children and grandchildren, fostering a compassionate and empathetic society. Let’s also strive to move beyond the superficial fixation on physical appearances, a trend that dominated the 1980s. May peace and love guide our interactions always.

After a recent selfie shared caused questions about her health, Julie felt compelled to address the situation.

As a devoted admirer, I must express my genuine concern – yet, if I may be frank, rest assured that there’s no cause for alarm if everything is hale and hearty on your end.

Overhearing, someone remarked about Julie, “It seems she’s lost a significant amount of weight,” another added, expressing concern, “She appears quite unwell and startlingly thin.

Someone asked, “Julie, you seem amazing, but are you alright?” Then they posted, “Hey Julie, are you alright? You don’t appear to be in a good way. I hope everything is okay with you.

‘She looks like a skeleton,’ one more person wrote, with yet another saying, ‘OMG you look so ill.’

Another individual spoke up for Julie, stating, “I admire how folks conjecture she’s had the vaccinations. I would wager that she is taking good care of herself by making healthy food choices.

‘OMG Julie you look amazing! You have a beautiful smile. Keep shining!’ another said. 

Another joined the conversation: ‘Could we all please refrain from commenting on Julie’s weight and suggesting she needs to gain more? It seems you are imposing your own ideals onto her. If Julie has always looked this way, no one would have an opinion about it.’

‘Just be happy for her that she’s happy, her doctor’s happy, and she’s healthy!’ 

More recently, Julie has shared that she continued to shed pounds after her unexpected significant change about nine years back, during which she managed to lose a massive 20 kilograms.

On Instagram, Julie posted a selfie showing off her noticeably slimmer look after appearing on Sunrise.

Julie decided to let her hair go grey and proudly displayed a more authentic color, while also highlighting her weight loss that occurred after winning the cooking competition back in 2009.

The expert in the kitchen appeared slender while inspiring followers to taste her chicken pie, which features a layer of golden-baked potatoes on top.

In that recent post, even with the new look she’s sporting, Julie didn’t stray far from her distinctive style – she was rocking her iconic oversized spectacles, paired with a chic black-and-white striped top.

In the year 2016, Julie disclosed that her significant weight loss wasn’t due to dieting and it shouldn’t be seen as something to cheer about.

She shared with Women’s Weekly that it wasn’t about following a quick, unfortunate diet to lose a significant amount of weight rapidly.

Things are nothing like you might think. I’m actually managing my own business, which keeps me extremely busy and often so preoccupied that I even forget to eat, a routine that certainly isn’t beneficial for my health.
