Jennie Garth Reveals Weight Loss Secrets
Jennie Garth, now 40 years old, has achieved something which eludes many celebrities today: Dropping 30 pounds, and then preventing its return.
According to US Magazine, the popular actress shared the secrets of her success in Health Magazines’ January/February issue.
Keeping the weight off has been difficult for Jennie, “I’ve been working out really hard,” Garth says in her behind the scene video taken while shooting the cover for Health, as seen on US Weekly.
“I’ve been weight training with a trainer three days a week. We do boxing, kickboxing — lots of weight lifting and training and jumping all around like crazy people,” the mother of three laughed. “I really never sit down! I think that’s basically the secret — not sitting around.”
In the video released by US Weekly, Garth says she has been working with a trainer three times a week. Her scheduled included weight training, kickboxing, boxing and lots of jumping. So, what’s her secret for losing all that weight? Garth says, “Not sitting around.”
Other weight loss tricks she has revealed to Health include: Instead of sour cream or mayonnaise, she uses yogurt to keep pounds in check. And, she weighs herself every morning. Garth says, of all the diets she has tried, the worst one was fasting with colonics. During that diet she had to fast for four days, “It was the most horrifying experience ever!” Garth said.
“My biggest regret is putting my body through fad diets: Atkins, cleanses, the hCG diet. I lost like 18 pounds, but it came right back. The worst was fasting with colonics for three or four days. It was the most horrifying experience ever!”
Garth claims to be happy that ex-husband Peter Facinelli has moved forward with a new romance, she says the fact that her 11 year old marriage failed still causes her great pain.
Seeing Facinelli go public about a new romance in his life with actress Jamie Alexander doesn’t feel entirely comfortable to her, although she hopes she will get over this regret in time. It was Garth who filed divorce papers from the actor this past spring and Facinelli brought his new lady to the film premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part II” just last month.
The two met in 2011 while filming the movie “Loosies”. Garth contends she is also beginning to date again, although she would not reveal if she is romantically committed to anyone new.
She was, however, seen in public recently with Jason Clark who manages heathcare solutions for Jones Lang Lasalle.
