Julie Goodwin has broken her silence about her dramatic weight loss, reassuring fans she is healthy and venting her frustration at other people making remarks about her body.
Goodwin has been the subject of concern for months from fans, after debuting somewhat of a body transformation earlier this year.
Just days ago, Goodwin shared a photo of herself beaming with a wide smile as she prepared a budget-friendly winter dessert.

The photo saw a number of fans asking about her body transformation.
“I’m actually concerned and shocked to be honest but if you’re healthy and well there is nothing to worry about. Am I correct?” one fan wrote.
Other fans fumed with the commentary, saying followers needed to mind their own business.
“Hey guys, this post is about cooking and a recipe, how about we keep our opinions that don’t relate to this to our self. There’s enough sadness in the world, so let’s all learn to be kind to another or say nothing at all,” one fan wrote.
“Can’t believe we are in 2025 and still commenting on peoples bodies,” another added.
“Ew ... Commenting on peoples bodies in 2024,” yet another wrote.
Goodwin took to Instagram overnight, reassuring fans.
“Thanks to all who have expressed concern about my health. I am well and I am within the healthy weight range. My doctor concurs,” Goodwin wrote on Instagram.
“For those who have asked me for tips, I am not qualified to provide this. It’s advice which should be sought from your trusted health professionals, not from me. I’m a TV cook.”
Goodwin asked respectfully that fans stop commenting on her body.
“For those who want to comment on my shape and condition of my body please, do it on your own page because I’m tried of reading it. For that reason, I’ll be turning off comments on this post,” Goodwin added.
“For those who like to see the food I make and occasional other bits and pieces from my days, please stick around cause that’s what I’ll be posting.
“For all of us can we please, find something more interesting to talk about. Can we please model kindness to our kids and grandkids and can we please leave this obsession with people’s looks back in the 1980s.
“Peace and leave.”
In the past few years, Goodwin has spoken about her weight.
Back in 2016, Julie revealed that her dramatic weight loss had nothing to do with dieting.
Instead, she was just a busy business owner, running around filling orders.
“It’s not that I’ve gone on some stupid, sad diet and dropped a whole heap of weight in a hurry,” Goodwin told Women’s Weekly.
“It’s not anything like that.
“I am running a business and running around like a mad thing, and sometimes I forget to eat, none of which is healthy.”
