Jenny McCarthy<\/a> feels “25 again” after swapping her vegan meals for a meat-based diet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Jenny McCarthy has given up being vegan<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old TV star spent years avoiding animal products because she wanted to eat “clean” but it played havoc with her digestive system and left her feeling bloated and she was told to try a “carnivore” diet by a doctor who warned her she may need a colostomy bag if her bowel problems didn’t clear up.<\/p>\n
She told PEOPLE: “My bloat was so bad that it always made me feel like I was about three months pregnant.<\/p>\n
“And I’m sorry if this is too TMI [too much information], but I was a complicated person who only went to the bathroom once every 14 days … <\/p>\n
“I went on the carnivore diet. I was so against it, but my doctor was like, you’ve tried everything but this, so you’re going carnivore … <\/p>\n
\n“I’ve got to tell you, it saved my gut. I go to the bathroom every single day now – and it made me feel like I was 25 again.”<\/p>\n
\nJenny explained she suffers from a long list of health problems including Hashimoto’s disease, a leaky gut and Coeliac disease, but her new diet has helped her feel better and she’s also lost weight and her skin problems have cleared up.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “All of my acne has cleared up. In one month, I lost 12 to 15 pounds … You can’t half-a** it [the diet]. But if I showed you a picture of my face from even a year ago, it’s so different. I didn’t realize how swollen I was all the time.”<\/p>\n
\nIt comes after Jenny previously had to deny she’d been taking the drug Ozempic to lose weight, insisting she’s slimmed down naturally but used a an AirSculpt procedure to remove fat from her tummy.<\/p>\n
\nShe previously told Us Weekly: “As women, we hear the: \u2018Oh no, when you get older you\u2019re gonna get that tire on your belly. There\u2019s nothing you can do.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\n“And I always thought I was kind of invincible because I was a jock in school. I\u2019m like, \u2018I played every sport. I\u2019ve worked out forever. <\/p>\n
\n“I\u2019m not gonna have that problem.\u2019 But no matter how much I tried to intermittent fast [to combat aging, its side effects persist].<\/p>\n
\n“And I\u2019m not an Ozempic person. I wanted a permanent solution to a targeted area with a bonus of fixing my hands – and that\u2019s what I got.”<\/p>\n
