Bethenny Frankel’s Weight Loss Secrets

For decades, Frankel struggled with anorexia, bulimia, and laxative abuse. She didn’t have a healthy relationship to food or to her body, and was obsessed with dieting. She also says that her weight fluctuated within five pounds almost every day, and she would go to extremes when it came to bingeing and starving herself. However, she’s now found a balance in her life and diet, and is healthier than ever.

Some of her food secrets include eating in moderation and practicing common sense. Frankel also sticks to a portion controlled diet and does regular yoga and cardio workouts. Yoga is an excellent way to reduce stress, depression, and promote weight loss.

A portion controlled diet is something that many celebrities follow because it allows them to eat healthy foods in small portions, which promotes a more active metabolism. Eating small portions throughout the day instead of big meals allows the body to burn it off more quickly. Frankel enjoys her own Skinnygirl brand protein shakes and bars, and enjoys snacking on fruits and vegetables. Other good options include nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, and pistachios.

Frankel also has her own exercise DVD called Body by Bethenny, where she shares her workout secrets. She’s an accomplished author and has released a book called Naturally Thin, where she goes into all the ways others can live a healthy lifestyle by eating whole foods, practicing portion control, and not depriving themselves. Her struggles with weight and food have given her insight into finding balance.

It’s safe to say that at 45-years-old, Bethenny Frankel is in the best shape of her life—she even admits that she finally has the bikini body that she always wanted. You too can have an enviable bikini body by following a portion controlled diet and doing yoga and cardio workouts.
