Great news! The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin is carrying an incredible new look! Imagine! she lost 85 pounds, and this makes her looks so amazing.
When probed how she’s keeping her weight loss, the 73-year-old celebrity told reporters, “I have diabetes. Really, from years ago when I was really badly and grossly overweight. Now, I’m back to my natural size, and thrilled about it.” She is certain that being overweight will surely never ever happen again.
In fact, Aretha went through a series of struggles because of being overweight. She actually undertook surgical treatment in 2010 for an unrevealed disease. In 2012, when she was discharged from the hospital, Aretha totally improved her way of life and dropped 85 pounds. She said on The View, “I feel wonderful, I’ve got more energy, I’ve changed my diet, going to Whole Foods now, getting the best stuff … Dropped the chitlins, dropped the ham hocks, getting some — I won’t say better food, I’ll say other food.”
And she’s keeping her new body size and she is trying her best to maintain it. With her new diet, Aretha will be able to maintain her size. In this type of situation, we can say that it’s easy to promise oneself to keep a healthier diet, but in the long run it will also take some effort not to be tempted with crunch chips.
Aretha added, “The portion control they have set up for you works wonderfully for me. It helps me to control my weight. It’s something that you really, really have to want first of all. Food can be powerful. We’ve got some real good food out here. You can either control it or it’s going to control you.”
Some other things that she does aside from discipline and control: she observes her exercises regularly which is up to four times per week. And as she does her work outs in public, you might see her around, so have a look out for her.
