Ashanti: Weight Gain?
Ashanti denies allegations by the New York Post that she refused to have her picture taken at the Ivy Hotel in San Diego because of her recent weight gain. When asked about whether she gained weight, Ashanti told People that,
“I’m human. If I’m not working, I’ll eat barbecued chicken, and if I want Baskin-Robbins I get it. I’m going to enjoy life. Will I be in the gym every day if I know I’m not going to be on TV. No! But when it’s time to get it poppin’ again, I’m focused. I jump in the gym for a month and I’m solid. I’m ready to shoot the video.”
Ashanti: Diet
Ashanti says she does cut out fried foods and she doesn’t eat ice cream everyday. She also did the Lemonade, also known as the Master Cleanser, for a week this summer.
Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh in…
Ashanti does appear to have gained weight from this recent photo. She may be looking for quick fixes when she feels she needs to slim down for public appearances. Although the Master Cleanser, or Lemonade Diet, may appeal as a quick fix solution, it is dangerous to your health and will lead to a yo-yo pattern of weight loss and weight gain. It’s a fasting diet, which has been used by Robin Quivers and Beyonce, consisting of a mix of lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and spring or purified water. Problem is, as you lose weight on this extremely low calorie “diet” you lose a lot of metabolically active muscle which slows down your metabolism. Your body goes into starvation mode and primes your body as a fat-making machine ready to pack on the pounds once you’re off the fast. This leads to yo-yo dieting in which you sacrifice lean muscle mass for fat, making you more prone to further weight gain later.
When it comes to weight loss there are no quick fixes. Slow and steady wins the race. As for the Master Cleanser, don’t do this at home. It will turn your body into a finely-tuned fat making machine.

I think that although what she’s doing (yo-yo dieting) may not be healthy, its perfectly understandable. I mean part of her job is to look good so ofcourse shes going to ease up when she can and then prep herself for returning to work.
As long as she doesnt yo-yo too much, it souldnt have that permanent an impact on her overall health.

I think she can splurge on some days & still hit the gym 3-5 days a week and “maintain” her weight; she is overeating on her off time (which has been A LOT lately and killing herself for a month to quickly drop the weight. Why not maintain??

There is nothing wrong with her weight. Just because she’s not a size 0 it doesn’t make her fat. I think she looks great. She is well toned and have a real womanly figure. She can lose weight if she wants too, but don’t make yourself so skinny that you look like a boy. I’m a size 9 does that make me fat???

I agree with Jessica. Ashanti looks great! As long as you’re healthy you don’t have make yourself super skinny to the point your bones are sticking out! I think it’s cute to have a real womanly figure and not look like a stick. Now THAT would be gross!

as a public persona she is FAT…she used to be PHAT…tired of black women thinking it’s ok to be over weight…BMI folk…that’s why black men are bouncing…you’ve got to stay as appealing as when he met you…if you where thick stay thick…thin, stay thin…and if you can’t ask him for help…I myself have a beautifully trim black goddess…we have an agreement…I don’t get a beer gut she can’t blow-up on me.

Pat, Ashanti’s weight doesn’t have anything to do with your personal relationship! Some men do like woman thick… rather they began that way or not. I was a size 7/8 when I met my man I’m twice that size, but I’m loved by my man … weight isn’t about a man, or a woman, its about You and your health.
Ashanti has a well paid man, and even 100lbs heavier she would have men at her feet begging for a date. Its not about fat or skinny honeys its about HEAlthy…. find thw heatlhy you and live life!Like or Dislike:
