She did it all without spending a penny on injections or cutting her meals to sad little portions.
And no, it's not about eating like a rabbit or constantly feeling hungry.
In fact, most people are shocked by just how much food Ashleigh puts away and still drops weight.
She said in a
In the video, she shows off a whopping plate of food - a jam-packed chicken flatbread loaded with salad, veggies, and chicken breast, all drizzled with balsamic glaze and honey.
It looks like a feast but the entire plate comes in at just 398 calories and over 40g of protein.
She says she eats this to her "the point of feeling sick" but promises it'll save you from heading to the snack cupboard after dinner.
Ashleigh's followers are blown away, with many struggling to believe weight loss is possible without painfully tiny portions.

Another questioned: 'How do you eat all that and still lose weight?'
I was sick of trying fad diets and not losing weight but now I've shed FIVE STONE without fat jabs or silly eating plans
What is volume eating?
Simply fill your plate with big portions of low-calorie, high-volume foods that keep you full for longer without tipping your calorie count over the edge.
Think mountains of veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, and fruit.
By staying in a calorie deficit while still enjoying huge meals, it becomes way easier to stick to a healthy eating plan and avoid those sneaky late-night snacks.
Foods like broccoli, cucumber, spinach, apples, air-popped popcorn, boiled potatoes and broth-based soups are volume eating gold.
Add in some lean chicken, low-fat Greek yoghurt, or lentils for protein, and you've got a meal that actually fills you up and helps shift the weight.
It's also a godsend for anyone who struggles with mindless snacking or portion control, which is something Ashleigh says she used to battle with herself.
Ashleigh admitted she used to think the only way to lose weight was to eat less but claims volume eating has changed her life.
She says she now eats "more than ever" but it's the right kind of food and keeps her full.
