Ciara showed off her sculpted legs in a fierce Instagram video from Super Bowl LV. The singer has kept up with a new fitness routine after giving birth in July.
ESSENCE spoke with Ciara about her partnership with the healthy eating app, which helps her enjoy some of her favorite meals guilt-free. “I think what’s been really cool is knowing that you can still eat all the things you want to,” she told us. “And me coming from Atlanta, Georgia, being a Southern girl, I’m all about the good food. It brings me happiness and joy. It’s something that I look forward to in my day.”
Ciara says a typical day’s meal plan using WW begins with a warm, hearty bowl of cream of wheat, followed by a shrimp burrito bowl topped for lunch and miso cod for dinner. As a breastfeeding mom, Ciara says she appreciates the variety of foods she’s able to choose from which keep her full and energized. “It gives you balance and you can keep your sanity,” she says, “and you feel joyful in the process of getting your bounce back and taking care of yourself.”
Ciara‘s weight loss became the topic of conversation on Jan. 4 when the 35-year-old told her followers that she “was proud” to start the new year 28 pounds lighter. The singer shared the news with an image displaying her pink hair and shoulderless white top.
In the post, Ciara revealed one of the components that contributed to her shedding the baby weight was a diet program that also offered meal plans to help the singer tackle everyday life as a mother and businesswoman. Although she’s lost 28 pounds, Ciara informed her followers she is 20 pounds away from her goal weight, leading many to wonder where the additional pounds will come from.
