Carnie Wilson, the Wilson Phillips singer, has embarked on a weight-loss journey, shedding 40 pounds by following a restrictive diet since September 2023. Wilson has cut out gluten and sugar from her diet and is taking things one day at a time, treating her nutrition like her sobriety. She has decided to make a change after experiencing internal feelings that told her to stop eating foods that made her feel unwell. Wilson had previously tried bariatric surgery when she was at her heaviest at 310 pounds, but this time she is focusing on diet changes to achieve her weight-loss goals.
After a bloodwork panel revealed that Wilson was prediabetic, she realized that some of her dietary choices were contributing to her discomfort. She was experiencing pain in her belly and throughout her body, prompting her to make healthier food choices. Wilson has also noted that she is in perimenopause, which may be affecting her overall health. Despite the challenges, Wilson is determined to continue her weight-loss journey and improve her overall well-being. She has eliminated pills, shots, and other quick fixes, and is solely relying on diet changes to achieve her goals.
On April 7, 2024, Wilson celebrated her weight loss on Instagram, sharing side-by-side photos that showcased her progress. She expressed pride in her accomplishment, attributing her success solely to her diet changes. While Wilson has incorporated some additional fats like nuts and cheese into her diet recently, she credits cutting out butter and other fats for her initial weight loss. She emphasizes that she has adjusted her eating habits in a way that satisfies her cravings while still adhering to her restricted diet of no sugar or gluten.
Wilson revealed some specifics about her diet choices, such as opting for corn tortillas over flour and incorporating brown rice and tortilla chips with guacamole into her meals. Despite her commitment to her new eating habits, Wilson acknowledges that she does not deprive herself of the foods she enjoys. She is determined to make her dietary changes a permanent part of her lifestyle, even as the host of a new cooking show. Wilson views her weight-loss journey as a “miracle” and is proud of her progress so far. With a focus on healthier food choices and a day-by-day approach, Wilson is hopeful for continued success in her journey towards better health and well-being.
