‘Real Housewives Of Orange County’ Shannon Beador Wins 40-Lb Weight Loss With Kim Zolciak’s Diet Shake

Real Housewives Of Orange County (RHOC) star Shannon Beador went from confessing her humiliation about her weight gain to flaunting her success at becoming a celebrity weight loss winner. While some celebrities might turn to comfort eating when divorce plans go public, Shannon shed both her husband David Beador and the weight in an impressively short amount of time.

On October 27, 53-year-old Beador revealed she was divorcing David. Real Housewives Of Orange County fans were shocked by Shannon’s divorce bombshell, because she had famously clung to her marriage for years despite dramatic ups and downs both physically (she gained a noticeable amount of weight) and emotionally (Beador frequently was seen in tears on RHOC).

But just days after Shannon’s stunning announcement, Beador headed to Instagram to post photos flaunting her weight loss from the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, reported Life & Style.

“Now that’s a revenge body!”

In the caption of one of her weight loss photos, Shannon expressed thanks to her glamour squad for their “touch-ups on a very emotional day.” Beador also issued a “huge thank you” to her Real Housewives Of Orange County co-stars and fans, expressing her appreciation for “lifting me up with their love and support.”

Shannon’s skin-tight black dress did justice to her newly slim shape, and fans cheered on Instagram and Reddit for the RHOC star.

Celebrity Weight Loss Winner Shannon Gets Wows From Fans

Beador’s fan base posted their enthusiasm and happiness for her success.

“You look amazingly healthy and happy!” cheered one fan.

“Wowser, look at you! You go girl!”

Many fans described Shannon’s weight loss as “amazing.” On Reddit, one fan commented about the difference that divorcing David made.

“She lost about 180 lbs. of dead weight,” joked the fan.

Beador previously told Life & Style that she gained 40 pounds in just eight months in the wake of ending her long-time friendship with RHOC friend-turned-enemy Vicki Gunvalson.

Fans have been asking exactly how Shannon became one of 2017’s celebrity weight loss winners. The secret’s in the shake, according to Beador.

TV Star’s Plant-Based, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Shake

On October 30, Shannon shared her weight loss secret with her fans, announcing that she has turned to 310 Shakes for a “plant-based and gluten, dairy, and soy-free” alternative to sitting down for a proper meal.

Beador also has been exercising.

“Sweating my a** off walking up this hill!”

Although Shannon admitted that she still “despises exercise,” she also emphasized that she is trying her best. Viewers of Real Housewives Of Orange County were shocked when a summer episode showed celebrity nutritionist and trainer Dr. Tim Ramirez squeezing Beador’s arm fat and seemingly flaunting her weight gain.

But something clicked with Shannon despite the viewers’ negative response, because she has been consistently exercising since that shocking scene. Beador isn’t the only celebrity to credit a combination of diet shakes and exercise to achieve a bikini body.

Kim Zolciak Biermann Credits Bikini Body To Diet Shake

If you’re thinking that the use of a plant-based diet shake sounds familiar, it’s Kim Zolciak Biermann who has also been touting her use of the same brand to achieve her own bikini body. The Real Housewives Of Atlanta alum recently confessed that she’s not a fan of breakfast, even though the first meal of the day is supposed to be the key to weight loss, pointed out People.

So instead of breakfast, Kim sips a shake. She shared in an Instagram video her views on weight loss, theorizing that many dieters skip meals completely and slow down their metabolisms as a result.

“The misconception that people have [about losing weight] is that they don’t want to eat. You really do need to keep your metabolism going.”

Although Zolciak Biermann is “not a breakfast eater” unless she’s pregnant, she does keep her own metabolism going strong by using the same brand of diet shakes as Shannon Beador. Kim credits 310 Nutrition Shakes for jump-starting her day.

Just like Shannon, this celebrity mom heads to the gym regularly to stay in shape. The Real Housewives Of Atlanta alum runs for three miles five days a week. She also avoids eating red meat.
