Ree Drummond Shares ‘Game Changer' Secrets to 50-Lb Weight Loss
Over the last several years, Pioneer WomanRee Drummond has dropped over 50 pounds-and, more importantly, improved her health-and now, she's sharing some of her weight-loss secrets with her fans.
The Food Network star took to her personal blog recently to reflect on her journey since 2021, revealing that she's decided to "jump back into" the lifestyle she found worked for her back when she was first focusing on losing weight after her weight fluctuated a bit in the time since she stopped-though, this time around, she's not in "quite as high a gear."
While the television personality previously focused on weighing her food and counting calories, she's eyeballing her portion sizes this time around, with an emphasis on "eating more protein and keeping it a higher percentage of my calories."
In addition to the importance of protein, she "can't emphasize enough how important it is to build muscle," working out with lunges, squats, deadlifts, and floor exercises with ankle weights.
Combined, she calls the two a "game changer."
Also different this time around is her alcohol consumption. She previously cut it out altogether for several months, whereas now, she'll "generally have a little white wine then top off the glass with cold Topo Chico sparkling water, so it's kind of a wine spritzer type of thing."
Finally, she recommends the app called Happy Scale. "During the year I was gaining weight, I didn't use it very often," she admitted. "I'm using it again and forget how helpful it is!"
Overall, she's "feeling better and better all the time," and hopes, just as with her original weight-loss blog post, that it helps anyone who needs it. "The first time around, I heard from so many of you who read something in the post that resonated, so just wanted to be sure to share again," she explained.

Singer, 27, Reveals How a Heavy Metal Icon Taught Him To Be a ‘Rock Star'
If you need advice on how to make it in rock and roll, there's no one better to ask than Ozzy Osbourne. Osbourne, 76, became one of the voices synonymous with heavy metal in the 1970s as the singer of Black Sabbath, delivering classic songs like "Iron Man," "War Pigs," and "Paranoid." And after the band fired him, Osbourne refused to say die, launching a solo career that gave us "No More Tears," "Crazy Train," "Bark at the Moon," and "Mama, I'm Coming Home." And Ozzy isn't afraid to help out the younger generation of rockers, which is why he ended up in a Yungblud music video. Yungblud (Dominic Harrison) asked Kelly Osbourne to be in the video for "The Funeral," the lead single for his self-titled third album. "I've known her for years, I met her in a pub on the circuit, on a mad night out - but she couldn't be there as she was on tour," the 27-year-old rocker told Louder. "And she was, like, 'My mum and dad will come.'" Not only did Ozzy and Sharon Osbourneshow up (they run over Yungblud in a car during the video), but they hung out with the rocker afterwards. "And he was like, 'You remind me a lot of me: you're mad and you're crazy and just lead with your [explicative] spirit,'" said Yungblud. Though their music is different, Yungblud said that people compare him to Ozzy because they both have an "unfiltered" attitude. "If you can be completely truthful, people aren't going to get it, and then they're gonna get it." Yungblud then said what Ozzy said next "hit me like a ton of bricks." "He said, 'You don't want to live your life censoring it, or don't be a rock star'. [Ozzy] said, 'You get this opportunity because you are not afraid to say the things other people will be. So when you stop [explicative] doing that, you ain't a rock star anymore'." Ozzy passed down his knowledge because he's about to call it a career. On July 5, he will perform his last solo show before reuniting with Black Sabbath for the heavy metal pioneer's final performance. And don't be sad-Ozzy said he's ready to give up the "rock star lifestyle." Related: Legendary Singer Says He's Done With the 'Rock Star Lifestyle' Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.
