Roz Purcell has admitted she packed on the pounds while writing her new book.
The Tipperary beauty is known for her love of healthy eating but admitted sometimes it’s hard to stop eating the food she makes.
“I’ve been cooking constantly and I always taste everything I make, but it’s really hard to stop eating the stuff I bake,” she said.
“I’m one of those people that can’t stop, so I just can’t have things like nut butter in my house.”

The model is now trying to be disciplined with herself and eat smaller portions.
“It’s easy to have too much of it all, and that’s something I’m trying to push now – just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean you can eat it all.”
“I tried inviting people over to finish dishes off, because if I make a cake I’m not going to have a slice, I’m having half of it.”
“In the past year I’ve put on  bit of weight from all the cooking, but I’m fine with that,” she said.
Not bothered: Roz isn’t worried about her weight
The 24-year-old insisted that being healthy is more important than looking good.
“I’m not really into aesthetics, it’s more about being happy,” she wrote in The Herald.
I’m not specifically into diet – I’m not vegan or strictly paleo, I’m more about whole foods and preparation.”
