Former comedienne and Playboy cover girl Jenny McCarthy graces the May issue of Shape Magazine, where she reveals her past struggle with weight. According to Jenny, she ballooned to 211 pounds after giving birth to her now-six year old son! While I couldn’t imagine the former MTV star, who has looked nothing but hot every time she stepped in front of the TV, as overweight, I’ll take her word on it.
How did she lose the weight? According to Jenny, she signed up for Weight Watchers, which helped her cut down on the fat by exercising portion control and carefully watching the calorie content of what she ate. She used the same eating restraint to maintain her figure once it has returned.
Three years ago, she also changed to a gluten-free and dairy-free diet, the same eating choices prescribed to help with her son’s autism symptoms. The new diet helped her get in even better shape, allowing her to maintain the slim figure she sports to this day.
A typical food plan for Jenny McCarthy consists of egg whites for breakfast, fish, fruits and vegetables for major meals and nuts for snacks. She also engages in regular yoga workouts.
