Ricki Lake reveals her weight loss journey, emphasizing a healthy lifestyle approach including keto diet, exercise, and stress management.
Ricki Lake says she’s “living best life” after losing 40 pounds without any help from Ozempic or other weight-loss drugs. “I started October 26, 2023, and went on this journey,” Lake, 56, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly while promoting her collaboration with Stone Road Farms for her Ricki Lake & Bake cannabis line.
The Hairspray actress explains that she began by “following a very strict keto diet” that included intermittent fasting and hiking outside “every single day” with a weighted vest. Since October 2023, Lake has also done Pilates “four days a week,” which contributed to her losing 40 pounds and keeping it off. “I did not go on any drug because I wasn't prediabetic,” she says, noting, “There's nothing wrong with those drugs. They're actually game changers for so many people. But for me, I did not want to be reliant on a drug if I could help it.” Instead of using Ozempic or similar GLP-1 medications, Lake shares that she did her “own thing” that was “very specific.” “I wore a glucose monitor. I wore my Oura ring . I prioritized sleep and overall, a low-stress lifestyle. And it worked,” she reveals. “It continues to work.” Before speaking with Us, Lake says she did a two-mile hike and took a Pilates class, which is her norm. “I took what was once a chore, you know, every day having to work out and get on the elliptical and hate every minute of it,” the former Ricki Lake talk show host continues. “Now it's a privilege and a joy to be able to move my body, to not be in pain, to see the results to fit in my size 4 jeans.” Lake rose to fame for playing Tracy Turnblad in 1988’s Hairspray, who she once proclaimed was “pleasantly plump.” Since then, she’s had many ups and downs with her weight. In 2007, she was Us Weekly’s cover star after losing more than 100 pounds — even giving Us an Instagram shoutout on February 26, 2024, in the same Norma Kamali red bathing suit she modeled for the photo shoot 17 years prio
