Loni Love is a true example of resilience.
While recording an ad segment on The Real, the Weight Watchers ambassador burst into tears while reflecting on the type of foods she ate growing up. She says that many Black girls and women arent informed about healthy diets as healthier food often isnt accessible to them.
Let me tell yall, I did not know how to eat. Growing up in the projects, we just had to eat what we could, she said. I know it sounds funny, but a lot of women in the African-American community, we dont know how to eat because we grew up that way.
She continues: So Im trying to tell yall, thank you to WW, because we wanted to do this to help our brothers and sisters everybody, but I see yall. I see yall at my comedy shows and youre like, We need to get healthier, and thats the reason were doing this. Its just to make yall aware of whats happening in the community. You can eat and not starve and you can still lose weight. Thats the reason were doing this.
Love subsequently then discusses her programs points system and what she usually eats during a typical day.
