NeNe Leakes has always been known for her curves.
But the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star is looking decidedly tinier this week on Instagram, where she shared a recent pic of herself in a string bikini.
Fans gushed over her apparent weight loss, extolling her new figure and wanting to know her secret.
And Leakes answered.
The reality star shared some of her slim down tips with E! News.
“My biggest problem has always been and will always be that I work all day and forget to eat and then I eat late at night with some cocktails,” she said.
“And I don’t eat breakfast! Lately, I’ve been trying to be good and eat something small for breakfast to kick start my metabolism and I’m eating smaller dinners earlier in the evening.”
She says it’s important to first identify your weaknesses and triggers before coming up with a plan of attack.
“We all know what our weaknesses are and what we overindulge in so it’s all about being mindful about what we eat and PORTION CONTROL,” she continued.
“That’s the key…because hunni, we like to eat!
“And having to deprive myself of anything is a no-no for a girl like me!
“Summer fun and sun is right around the corner so that’s a great motivator for me!”
NeNe has never been short on confidence.
Last year, she showed off her curves in a yellow two-piece, and included the hashtags #ageless and #shesgotit in the caption.
There’s still no word on whether her rumored reality show with Kim Zolciak is a go, but if it is, it’s sure to be one bodacious bikini bonanza.
