Jenny McCarthy Talks About Weight Struggles

December 06th, 2009 | Category: All Celebrities

It’s always so refreshing when a celebrity gives you the honest truth about how they keep their amazing figures. Jenny McCarthy has always been honest about everything in her life, sometimes giving us TMI..but that instance I think she’s dropping some knowledge that we should remember.

“I was 211 pounds when I delivered my son, so I know what it is like to be obese and fat and miserable,” McCarthy told Tarts at Oxygen TV and Ubisoft’s launch of “Your Shape” at West Hollywood’s Hyde Lounge on Wednesday night. “I’m 5’6 so it was a hard thing to carry around; losing it is something I’m very proud of.

“It took me a good year to fit back into my jeans, but it’s all diet and exercise. There is really no magic pill; they are the two things you absolutely have to do to maintain good shape. In my

20’s I didn’t really have to nag as much but now I’m past 35 I notice that I have to workout. It’s a mandatory thing,” she explained. “I eat a lot of soups and salads; I puree a lot of vegetables considering there is still protein in vegetables. I love spinach salads with nuts so it’s mainly vegetables and when I PMS I notice I need additional protein so I eat fish. Exercise is bikram yoga and treadmill running like ‘Hamster’.”

Jenny plus says she would absolutely do Playboy again whether Heff called her up, but for some reason she thinks it will never happen. Hopefully the powers that be at Playboy read that and give Jenny a signal. Don’t judge me. I know I wouldn’t be the only chick on the Playboy website checking out Jenny’s pics.
