Probably the best news of all is that she did it without resorting to the popular low-carb keto diet or intermittent fasting that\u2019s become so popular these days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cRoughly one year ago, I decided I wanted to lose weight,\u201d the 53-year-old Oklahoma native said in an Instagram <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepioneerwoman.com\/ree-drummond-life\/a38944960\/ree-drummond-weight-loss-ten-things-i-learned\/\"><span>post<\/span><\/a><span> earlier this week. \u201cI had zero idea how I was going to do this, I only knew that I needed to start.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The \u201cPioneer Woman\u201d host described how \u201cweight had crept up\u201d while \u201cexercise\/activity level had all but slowed to a stop\u201d while she focused on work over the past few years. It also didn\u2019t help that Drummond was cooking and eating for a living, constantly surrounded by delicious foods. The Food Network star is known for her hearty, midwestern dishes that are wholesome but not necessarily diet friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Drummond\u2019s final straw came when her daughter Alex got married in May 2021. The best-selling cookbook author explained on her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepioneerwoman.com\/ree-drummond-life\/a38944960\/ree-drummond-weight-loss-ten-things-i-learned\/\"><span>blog<\/span><\/a><span> that she was at her heaviest weight during the months before the wedding and has since lost a significant amount of weight by making small changes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI just knew I had to start,\u201d Drummond wrote. \u201cOne year later, I\u2019ve lost 55 pounds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The star went on to explain what she didn\u2019t do. \u201cI didn\u2019t use a trainer, I didn\u2019t do Keto or Paleo or follow an official diet, I didn\u2019t eat specialty foods, and I didn\u2019t do intermittent fasting,\u201d Drummond wrote on her blog. \u201cThose things work for lots of people, which is wonderful! I just hadn\u2019t had success with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Instead, the cooking show host focused on eating fewer calories, putting smaller portions on her plate, and weighing meals using a food scale. She also increased her protein intake. Drummond ate fewer sweets and stopped drinking alcohol.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Besides changing what she ate, Drummond also shared with fans that she started getting serious about being more active. This came in the form of simple swaps such as buying a standing desk to use at home, walking more often, and lifting weights. Drummond also incorporated a rowing machine into her routine and started using the Happy Scale app to keep tabs on her weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMaybe it would be better to say perspective change instead of lifestyle change,\u201d the Food Network host continued. \u201cBecause that\u2019s what it has been for me. During the first five months (and in the ensuing months) of my journey, I experienced a seismic shift in my perspective of everything I\u2019ve mentioned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAfter the experience of the past year, I feel better,\u201d she continued. \u201cI have more energy. I\u2019m more motivated to take on projects and put things on the ol\u2019 calendar. Feeling good bleeds over into all aspects of my life. And that has changed my outlook.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Finally, Drummond said the whole experience has given her renewed confidence and energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cToday I feel stronger, more in balance (both physically and mentally), and I have more spring to my step,\u201d she concluded. \u201cI am wearing clothes I wasn\u2019t comfortable wearing a year ago, I feel better about the way I look, and I\u2019m smiling more (yes, even more than I smiled before, which was a lot \u2014 haha) and that is a nice feeling at age 53.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, will be premiering on Thursday, February 10th at 9pm ET on YouTube.
