Uncategorized

rebel Wilson dispelled the rumor that she was carb-free after her dramatic weight loss — and revealed how many calories she thinks people need.

“I’ve learned that you really only need about 600 calories a day,” said 43-year-old Wilson. Daily mail on Thursday, June 15, while promoting her Fluid app at a party in Beverly Hills sponsored by Casamigos Cristalino. “You don’t need 1,500 or 2,000.” She later clarified that consuming 600 calories is usually done as a detox and not meant to be a daily routine. While the Rush star hasn’t revealed whether she adheres to the 600-calorie regimen, telling the outlet she doesn’t advocate for others to do it.

The Pitch perfectly actress — who has lost more than 75 pounds since 2020 — explained that after enrolling in a program about food, her approach to dieting changed.

“Everyone thinks you have to eat that much [and] your body needs it, but the truth is your body doesn’t need a lot of calories,” she claimed, noting that it “might sound crazy” to some, but to her it was about portion control.

Wilson added, “If you eat well and eat small portions, you’ll be fine.” (At her Thursday event, guests were greeted with a custom Casamigos Ice toboggan and welcome margaritas featuring the latest Casamigos Cristalino. Partygoers took an interactive quiz to find their perfect cocktail match before making their own.)

Despite her regimented diet, the actress revealed, “I do eat carbs.” She claimed she just ate them “in small portions,” adding, “I do eat pizza and I eat pasta, I just don’t eat much of it.”

Wilson attributed most people’s weight gain to getting hungry while “trapped at a desk or in their car” and turning to food to “deal with stress.” The co-founder of the Fluid app went on to claim, “You just don’t need all that food.”

Even with self-imposed restrictions, Wilson told the outlet that she occasionally indulges in ice cream as her “cheat food.”

“When I wasn’t watching my weight, I would sometimes sit down and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. It’s exactly what I did. It was a habit,” she recalls. “But now I am much more careful. I’ll have about a third of a pint and I’ll eat it slowly. I don’t eat the whole pint at all – that’s in my past.

The Australian star – who rose to fame playing Fat Amy in the Pitch perfectly franchise – began her “health year” in early 2020. By November of that year, she had lost 60 pounds, but Wilson didn’t stop there.

After reaching her goal weight of 165 pounds, Wilson continued to maintain her healthier lifestyle, but stopped focusing on the scale.

“Rebel is no longer working with a trainer every day to lose more weight while reaching her goal, but rather she’s focused on maintaining the weight she’s lost and feeling good about herself,” a source told Exclusively. . Us weekly in July 2022. “She is a very positive person and feels very well how far she has come.”

That positivity spilled over into Wilson’s personal life. The comedian went to the stock exchange with her and Ramona Agruma‘s relationship in June 2022. Five months later, the Isn’t it romantic actress announced that she welcomed her first child, daughter Royce, via surrogate.

In February, Wilson confirmed that she and Agruma, 39, were engaged following a romantic proposal at Disneyland.

While the Last year star’s recent life changes have been positive, she confessed on Thursday that her role as a parent has led to some weight gain.

Wilson — who describes himself as an “emotional eater” — told the Daily mail that she was gaining weight from the ‘lack of sleep and the change in [her] lifestyle.”
