Melissa McCarthy’s weight loss has been a hot topic after her amazing body transformation became viral. Although the Life of the Party actress would be the first one to admit that she still has a long way to go, her new slimmer figure is enough reason for people to want to know more about her journey. Now, the Ghostbusters star’s special smoothie that helped her shed over 75 pounds is revealed.

The 47-year-old actress, comedian, writer, fashion designer, and producer may be famously known for her comedic acts, but she is quickly becoming an inspiration for people who are struggling with their weight. Melissa McCarthy’s weight loss has been long overdue as the funny actress had been on the heavier side most of her life.

Just like any other diet, Melissa McCarthy’s weight loss didn’t happen overnight. Reports revealed that the Gilmore Girls actress already lost a whopping 75 pounds by changing her eating habits and lifestyle.

Melissa McCarthy’s weight loss started to happen after following a low-carb, high-fat, and high-protein diet. The popular diet includes Atkins, Paleo, Zone, and ketogenic diets.

The Bridesmaids actress also sees to it to drink a special smoothie to help her with her new healthy lifestyle and to keep shedding off the pounds. Foods 4 Better Health shared that Melissa McCarthy consumes a green smoothie with almond milk, spinach, apple, chia seeds, and kale during breakfast, along with four scrambled egg whites with grilled chicken and a cup of mixed veggies.

Unlike other unreliable crash diets, Melissa McCarthy’s weight loss is not a result of starving herself. In fact, the site revealed that the Life of the Party actress eats 4-5 times a day, which is the total opposite of other weight loss diets.

What made Melissa McCarthy successful with her weight loss journey is that she found a plan that works for her, and she stuck to it. With her busy schedule, it is quite understandable that the funny actress has a hard time to add exercise to her daily routine, but since she is committed to her new healthy lifestyle, she hired a trainer to keep her motivated.
