Model Simone Holtznagel shows off her alarming weight loss in a bikini

Model Simone Holtznagel shows off her alarming weight loss in a post-workout bikini selfie — after her PT boyfriend insisted she slim down ‘not by starving herself’

She recently lost an impressive 10kg after hitting the gym with her personal trainer boyfriend Jono Castano.

And Simone Holtznagel showed off her dramatic weight loss on Monday when she posed for a post-workout mirror selfie before hitting the sauna.

The Australia’s Next Top Model star, 29, showed off her petite waist as she stripped down to a white thong bikini, in a photo shared on Instagram.

“Sweat out the weekend,” she wrote in the caption.

It comes after her partner Jono insisted her weight loss was the result of a healthy diet and exercise and “not by starving herself.”

“Wearing Nala underwear makes today’s digi day a little less terrifying,” she wrote in the caption.

Her lean stomach and toned legs showed off, as did her noticeably slimmer arms and defined triceps.

Simone debuted her body transformation in August, after losing weight over the course of 10 months with the help of her PT beau Jono.

At the time, Jono denied any suggestion that her weight loss was too drastic, telling Daily Mail Australia, ‘The way she got results wasn’t by starving herself; it happened through a structured program.’

Simone ate four meals a day and her diet was “very balanced, incorporating all of her macronutrients into each meal,” he explained.

The socialite took to the fight after revealing her body transformation, but said at the time that she had ignored her critics.

“People have commented that it’s ‘trigger’, and ‘before and after’ has no place in 2022…” she said The Daily Telegraph.

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

Jono and Simone met several years ago when she was one of the trainer’s most high-profile clients.

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

Jono was previously married to fellow ACERO gym owner Amy Castano.
