Is This Chicken or Weight Loss? Jessica Simpson Loses 60lbs on Weight Watchers Diet
Jessica Simpson’s long struggle with weight loss is well documented and giggled at…but it looks like she’s having the last laugh after all! The one time singer has dropped 60 pounds following the birth of her daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson on May 1st 2012 (Dad is former-football player Eric Johnson).
It’s all thanks to one intense Weight Watchers diet! Also, having a high priced personal trainer and working out four times a week probably didn’t hurt.
During Baby Maxwell’s seemingly endless gestation period, Simpson was the subject of intense and – as pregnant women around the world would most likely agree – unfair ridicule for the amount of weight she gained. But, in a cunning move, Simpson signed a $3 million dollar deal to become the new face of Weight Watchers, joining the ranks of such formerly thin-challenged celebrities as Jennifer Hudson.
Of course, conspiracy theorists have also had a lot of fun with Jessica’s up-and-down scale numbers. Suspicions emerged that the one-time “Newlyweds” star’s weight loss plan was not, shall we say, gaining momentum when Weight Watchers released an ad earlier this year that neglected to show viewers Simpson from the waist down.
But I guess we should have trusted the self-proclaimed “just” Jessica when she declared “It’s Working!” in the commercial, because it sure has. And now it can for all of us too, because the blonde mom’s diet has been released to the public.
Jessica started off her diet with a 15-day intense smoothie-filled plan in July. On days 1-5 she was allowed 3 smoothies a day with 2 snacks. Days 6-10 offered 2 smoothies, 2 snacks, and 1 small meal. And days 11-15 let her have 1 smoothie, 2 snacks, and 2 small meals. Snacks could include cut veggies with 10 almonds or 3 whole grain crackers with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
Now that she’s back on solid foods once again, Jessica only has 10 more pounds to go to reach her 70-pound weight loss goal. And we truly wish her the best, because there is no way we could stick to that diet or look as good as she does now!
