Niecy Nash Weight Loss | How Did Niecy Nash Lose Weight?

Nash lost more than 50 pounds within 3 months. She revealed that the secret to her weight loss was self control “I didn’t have a traditional workout plan. I have three children, so I couldn’t work two full-time jobs, then come home and go to the gym for two hours. I ate sensibly and would hula-hoop when I watched TV with my kids. We’d go skating on Saturdays, ride our bikes in the neighborhood and have dance contests”, Nash said.

She claimed that nutritionist’s diet plan kept her energetic during her dieting. “I had a tremendous support from my friends and my family when I was trying to lose weight. They always motivated me exercise regular and eat proper food. I am not sure if I could have done it if I had no support from my family”, the actress said.
