Yearwood’s journey with weight management has been public and relatable. In 2013, she openly discussed her previous struggles with body image and the hard work behind her transformation “I don’t think you can name one diet I haven’t done,” Yearwood shared.
Her eventual success was attributed to a personalized plan that balanced low-fat, low-sugar meals with moderate indulgence and a commitment to Zumba classes. “I lost the weight eight months ago, and I still wake up every day and think there’s no way my clothes will fit,” Yearwood said of her transformation.
