LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: June Shannon, aka "Mama June," revealed that she has dropped 65 pounds and shared the strategy behind her amazing weight loss in a recently released social media video.
Mama June — real name June Elizabeth Stroud — has been on a weight loss journey over the past five months. She revealed in the latest update that she still has 50 pounds to lose while detailing that she consumed 31.7g of protein during her lunch, per The US Sun.
Mama June's weight loss strategy includes eating 'grilled salmon' and hitting the gym
The 45-year-old celebrity gave an explanation of her weight loss journey in a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday, September 17. "OK guys. I am 50 pounds down as of yesterday," she stared.
"65 sorry! 65. I started off this journey as 285, yesterday I weighed in at 220 exactly," June said.
June went on to describe her lunch, which consisted of grilled salmon and corn from Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. "The grilled salmon by itself is 440 calories. The corn is 120," she said.
She added, "So all together that is 560 calories, but it has 31.7 grams of protein and this is how you eat out whenever you’re on a weight loss journey."
Then, early in the year, June disclosed that she changed her diet, started taking weight loss injections, and has been working out hard at the gym.
June requested her online followers to share their favorite takeout dishes that they order when attempting to lose weight after mentioning that she cooks most of her meals at home and does not dine out much.
