Celebrity trainer Jono Castano has revealed the secrets behind his girlfriend Simone Holtznagel’s 10kg weight loss and insists she didn’t starve herself to achieve her goal.

In an exclusive conversation with Daily Mail Australia, Jono said the 29-year-old model lost the weight safely and more than 10 months after some of her followers — including those recovering from eating disorders — said her before and after photos were “triggering.” ‘ goods.

“I teach every individual who has something to say, explaining how she got results, not by starving herself, it was done through a structured program,” he said.

According to Jono, Simone did a mix of weights and Reformer Pilates and trained 45 minutes a day at Acero 3-4 times a week.

Simone would eat four meals a day and her diet was “very well balanced with all of her macronutrients in each meal.”

He said the couple still enjoy cheat meals and occasionally indulge in McDonald’s.

Defending his methods and Simone’s transformation, Jono posted a video last week that said the Australian Next Top Model star had achieved her results through exercise and healthy eating — not by starving herself.

“Simone did it in a healthy way,” he said. “She has found the love for food, she has found the consistency and balance for training.

“You can’t bully someone and say horrible things about their journey. You’re doing exactly what people don’t want in 2022, aren’t you?’

Jono added: ‘We don’t live in that world where people write anything.

“People have feelings, Simone has feelings too, and so do everyone who is… [weight loss] trip.

‘My clients have read it, they are following the weight loss program. It’s effective. It’s a toxic world we live in, so when you write comments, think about what you write, because I’ve worked with people with eating disorders before, I’ve helped them.”

Some of Simone’s followers, including those recovering from eating disorders, said her transformation photos were ‘triggering’ for people starving themselves to stay thin

Simone has had backlash since revealing her body transformation, but said last week she ignored what her critics had to say.

“People have commented that it’s ‘triggering’ and that ‘before and after’ don’t belong in 2022…” she told The Daily Telegraph.

“I thought what we weren’t doing in 2022 was commenting on other people’s bodies.

‘I thought I looked great on the left’ [before photo]. I think I look great on the right [after photo].

“One thing I want to get out of that post is that you can’t please everyone. I’ve been bigger and smaller, but I was happy in both phases of my life.’

Jono and Simone first met several years ago when she was one of the trainer’s most prominent clients.

They initially kept their romance a secret before going public in May when they kissed passionately at Mimi’s restaurant in Coogee.

The genetically blessed stars came in after just three months of dating.

Jono believes that no one has the right to criticize Simone’s healthy lifestyle.

“Simone’s journey was her own journey, in a healthy and balanced way, there is nothing wrong with that,” he said.

“Read between the lines of the caption, don’t attack anyone.”

Simone claims she still eats pasta four nights a week and never denies herself a glass of wine or a cocktail when she feels like it.
