Ree Drummond has lost almost 60 pounds through healthier eating and exercise
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Drummond admitted that she hit a turning point that propelled her to make significant changes in her lifestyle.
“I have a cooking show and I write cookbooks. I have a cooking website, a restaurant, a bakery. So you know, it just kept creeping up,” Drummond admitted.
“In January of this year, we took my son, Bryce, to college. And I tell this story, but I basically hit rock bottom eating chips and salsa one night. I went a little overboard, but I thought that night, ‘I am going to start tomorrow. I am doing something different.’ And I just started, and I almost lost 60 pounds now,” she revealed.
Drummond continued, “It changes your whole outlook just having the routine of exercise in your day and, you know, I still eat the foods that I cook my family. I still eat cake. I just eat a Rhode Island-sized piece instead of a Texas-sized piece.”
The complete recipe can be found on the Food Network website.
The Pioneer Woman airs Saturdays at 10 a.m. EST on the Food Network.
