Lizzo Says This Macronutrient Is 'The Secret To Happiness'
Lizzo had long been plagued by radiating back pain, a result of damaged discs from pressure caused by her weight. And while she'd always been proud of her size, Lizzo knew she had to make some changes in order to find relief from the debilitating pain. As she puts it: "Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same."
In addition to enlisting the services of Kelly Rowland's personal trainer Marvin Telp to create a consistent workout regimen, Lizzo also revamped her diet—one she shares with WH in the latest installment of our video series Fuel Like.
"My relationship with eating has evolved so much," she says. "There have been times where I have undernourished myself; there have been times where I was bingeing. When I intuitively eat and listen to my body, that always works out for me."
Part of her intuitive eating plan has included reincorporating meat into her diet following her decision to go vegan in 2020. After experiencing periods of low energy and stomach pains, her trainer recommended she try a Japanese diet. A trip to Japan was the tipping point Lizzo needed to give meat another try. As she recalls thinking: "Let's put our toe in the water with a country whose food I know is very, very clean." The result? "I felt incredible," Lizzo says. "When I got back to the States, I started to slowly introduce animal proteins into my diet, and here we are today."
Protein is just one component of the eating routine that fuels Lizzo. She's also quick to sing the praises of another macronutrient: carbs. "Your body loves carbs," she enthuses. "Carbs are the secret to happiness!"
Find out how Lizzo incorporates protein and carbs into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks(!) by watching the latest installment of Fuel Like.

Kevin Connolly engaged
Kevin Connolly has got engaged. The Entourage actor has been dating Zulay Henao for seven years and on Friday (04.07.25), he popped the question in his hometown of Long Island, New York, in front of family members including their four-year-old daughter Kennedy. Zulay, 46, told People magazine: "It was intimate, personal and so full of love. Having Kennedy there made it unforgettable." Kevin got down on one knee to propose with a "timeless" and "elegant" diamond ring custom-designed by KC Sukamto. The jewellers created a "classic and modern" piece of jewellery featuring an emerald-cut solitaire with a hidden halo set in two-tone design with a gold band. The happy couple then celebrated with fireworks and an intimate dinner with their close family. Last month, the Modern Muze founder shared a touching tribute to Kevin on Father's Day. Sharing a selection of family photos, she wrote on Instagram: "Happy Father's Day Papi! We love you babe, thank you for being our home! You are Daddying beautifully, just look at the smiles in these pictures… muah baby." Kennedy was born amid the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2021, and the couple were in "awe" of their little girl. Announcing the tot's birth, Zulay wrote on her Instagram Story at the time: "She's really sweet and patient so far, not too much crying, just really curious about her surroundings. "I just watch in awe. She also has a huge appetite like her momma." Just six weeks later, Kevin and Kennedy contracted COVID-19 Kevin told Victory the Podcast: "I like to think I'm a pretty responsible person, even now that I have a baby. But I don't know, man … whatever this new Delta variant is. F*** man, I got sick. "It's been hard. Anyone that has a kid knows that it's hard when your kid is sick, you know? Because there's really nothing you can do for them." Kevin explained that his symptoms were "brutal" - but he was trying his best to cope with the illness. By contrast, he revealed that his daughter has been "doing great". Kevin explained: "It's just the congestion part, but the fever is down and we're all back on the road to recovery. It's a close call."

Love Island USA's Cierra Ortega Used Code Word for Sex
So the latest season of Love Island USA has been pretty wild. In more ways than one. And apparently there is a code word for the more intimate moments. And Cierra Ortega used that code word to talk about her sex life with Nic Vansteenberghe. Did you catch that? In case you missed it, Season 7 of Love Island has seen some of the wildest behavior ever. More than one couple have had sex in the villa and they've even talked about it on national TV. Wonder how that went over with their families? Perhaps that's why they decided to use a code word for intimacy. Although is a code word still a code word if everyone knows what it means? Cierra used the code word on the latest episode when talking to Iris Kendall. The two were having a chat following the re-coupling post Casa Amor. 'Did you hear me taking my journey?' Cierra asked Iris who is currently paired with TJ Palma. 'Well the journey was much longer this time than the first time.' And by longer she means 40 seconds instead of 30. Cierra teased more about her encounter with Nic adding, 'And we stopped for food on the way. Hotdogs and hamburgers were ordered. We both had a full course meal. Once we finished eating, we ended at a waterfall. It was beautiful.' In case you missed it, 'journey' is the code word for intimacy among the islanders. We learned this thanks to Hannah Fields. She was dumped earlier this season and recently revealed to US Weekly the sneaky way they talk about sex. 'We had a code name for intimacy,' Hannah shared. 'We would say, 'how was your journey? What was the journey like?' Huda (Mustafa) started it when she said something like, 'Oh, I had a journey. My journey went all the way.'' Hannah had her own 'journey' with Pepe Garcia. Which means that she, Cierra, and Huda have all taken a journey or two. In fact, the producers have been pretty overwhelmed by the cast they have asked them to tone down the 'journeys' for the camera. The other couples have yet to admit if they took any journeys ahead of the finale later this month. Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock, with new episodes airing every day except Wednesdays. TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CAST AND THEIR 'JOURNEYS'? DO YOU THINK THE SEASON 7 CREW NEEDS TO TONE IT DOWN? The post Love Island USA's Cierra Ortega Used Code Word for Sex appeared first on Reality Tea.

Love Island USA's Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa Have Sex in the Villa
If you thought that it couldn't possibly get spicier on Season 7 Love Island USA, you would be wrong. Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were chosen by their fellow Islanders to go to the Hideaway for some private time. Meanwhile, Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa had sex in the villa. Several couples have done the deed in the villa, in close proximity to their co-stars, with cameras filming. The contestants have been so sexually adventurous this season that production reportedly asked the Islanders to calm their hormones. As if! During a recent episode of the series, Chris told Bryan that he and Huda had a 'hiccup' during the baby challenge. 'I truly appreciate her being vulnerable. I really do like her,' Chris said, before adding that he 'folded' the previous night. 'I wasn't going to tell anybody. [But] I couldn't do it anymore. I really tried [to hold out],' he explained. 'I just didn't want to tell the other boys.' In his confessional, Chris said, 'I feel like that was just a great step into our physical connection that we probably don't show in front of everyone else. It definitely made us feel stronger in our physical connection.' He added, 'That is really all I can say about that.' However, as you may recall, Huda previously had sex with her first connection, Jeremiah Brown. Plus, Pepe Garcia and Hannah Fields also enjoyed some sexy time in the villa before her exit. Do these people forget that they are on camera? Meanwhile, Cierra Ortega and her connection, Nic Vansteenberghe, also had sex in the communal villa. She even mentioned a term, 'journey,' that Huda coined as a code word for sex. I'm sure viewers will be hearing about more 'journeys' as the season winds to a close. Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock, with new episodes airing every day except Wednesdays. TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT CHRIS AND HUDA HAD SEX? IS THERE TOO MUCH SEX IN THE VILLA THIS SEASON? The post Love Island USA's Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa Have Sex in the Villa appeared first on Reality Tea.
