She also revealed that before she underwent weight loss surgery, she relied on “baking everything” to cook her meals — and she had to completely change her lifestyle in order to acheive her goals. Joselyn Boschen, a fitness expert at the health app Lifesum, explained that Mama June needs to have healthier eating habits in order to keep the weight off.

“When anyone undergoes a drastic weight loss procedure like surgery they better be ready to maintain it,” Boschen exclusively told Life & Style. “In order to get/keep the results, a drastic change in lifestyle needs to come into play. The size of the meals you can ingest is significantly lower. To make sure you get the right nutrients you should be eating the healthiest foods possible.”
