Mikayla Nogueira Clarifies If 60-Lb. Weight Loss Was Done "Naturally"
Mikayla Nogueira is setting the record straight.
After she unveiled her 60-pound weight loss transformation, the TikToker clarified the method she used to accomplish the goal, insisting that she went about it "naturally" amid speculation she used weight loss drugs.
"Heavy emphasis on the 'naturally,'" Mikayla said in a July 29 TikTok video, explaining that she focused on incorporating "a calorie deficit" diet into her routine and "making better food choices."
And to help others incorporate similar techniques into their lifestyles, the 27-year-old provided a detailed look at how to cook up one of her go-to meals that's helped on her weight loss journey.
"If you haven't figure it out already, these are burger bowls," Mikayla said atop a clip of her plating meat, cheese and vegetable ingredients for her favorite recipe. "Lettuce, tomato, croutons, pickles, hamburger, ketchup, mustard—they're extremely delicious and filling."
And the content creator noted that she's not the only one in her family who's a big fan of the healthy dish, adding that her husband Cody Hawken "loves them too."

And making changes to her diet has led to other changes in Mikayla's appearance, too. After all, the influencer shared that she's also made adjustments to her fashion choices and even had to stop wearing her wedding rings as a result of the major physical transformation.
"The reason is this s--t doesn't fit me," she told her followers in a Jan. 28 TikTok while demonstrating how big the bands were for her finger. "Because I lost 60 pounds, this ring is now humungous on me, and I either need to get it resized or a new ring perhaps, because it's too big."
Luckily, Mikayla has other ways to symbolize her commitment to Cody, who she tied the knot with in 2023.
"I have a 'C' tattooed on my finger," she shared, though she admitted that the design was "not good."
"I need to get that fixed and I will," she continued. "But, yeah, if I wear this, it'll fall off and I'll lose it, so that it literally the tea."

Plane passenger tries to outsmart airline's luggage rule by doing the unthinkable with her suitcase: ‘She's so real for that'
They told her to check the bag — she checked them instead. A fierce flyer is going viral for muscling her suitcase into a carry-on sizer at a European airport — leaving airline staff stunned when the bag actually fit. The now-legendary shove came courtesy of TikTok user Arina (@summermken_official), who posted a video of herself forcefully wedging her luggage into a metal bag checker at the Vueling counter during a recent flight from Paris to London. 'Never give up, at least not on the sake of €200,' she wrote in the caption — and the internet agreed. The clip has racked up more than 10 million views since it was posted on July 22. 'They asked me to place my bag in the checker to confirm it met size requirements,' Arina told Newsweek. 'It seemed that they were just suspicious of the size of my bag since it didn't seem like carry-on luggage.' The Spanish low-cost carrier, like many budget airlines, has earned a reputation for eagle-eyed enforcement of size rules — and for slapping on sky-high baggage fees. Vueling charges up to €88 (about $96) at the airport if your bag doesn't fit their requirements. 'I was 100% sure that it would fit […] plus I measured it before buying and it fit the standards of the company,' she told the outlet. What followed was a now-iconic suitcase showdown: Arina is seen in the clip straining to push her bag into the checker — and then yanking it out with just as much effort. The Vueling employee? Gobsmacked. 'She seemed quite surprised that the suitcase actually fit,' Arina said. 'She said, with genuine shock, that I must be very strong… she clearly didn't expect it to fit at all.' TikTokers applauded her persistence — and side-eyed the airline. Spain's stingy sky carrier is notorious for hawk-eyed bag checks and nickel-and-diming travelers with sky-high luggage fees. Viacheslav Yakobchuk – 'Her face, that's 'I told you' face,' wrote one viewer in the comments section. 'She's so real for that,' another chimed in. 'Bro that's small carry-on too, I hate airlines,' added an additional user. As previously reported by The Post, one Ryanair passenger broke down in tears this week at Sofia Airport after being denied boarding when her bag wouldn't fit the airline's size limits. Despite shoving it into the sizer, she refused to pay extra, pleaded with border police, and ultimately collapsed to her knees sobbing as staff looked on. Overall, when it comes to budget flights, it's bend or break — and these women did both.

"Um, Donald Is So Hot Right Now": People Are Losing Their Minds After Donald Trump Jr. Weirdly Swooned Over His Own Dad
Donald Trump Jr. made an attempt to diss the left by calling his dad 'hot' in an AI-generated image of his father parodying Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad campaign. 'That Hanse.... Um, Donald is so hot right now!!!,' he wrote in a post featuring an AI image of President Donald Trump posing on the floor wearing a denim outfit. The caption was a reference to Owen Wilson's character Hansel McDonald in Zoolander. Although Donald Trump Jr.'s weird comment was made as a joke, this was not the first time he has said something uncomfortable about a family member. In a TikTok video posted last year, the president's son referred to his daughter Kai as 'sexy' while the two were getting prepared for the Republican National Convention. In the video, he asked Kai, then 17, if wearing makeup would make him 'sexy like you.' @DonaldTrumpJr / Via Though he was presumably kidding around, many people nevertheless found it a very odd word for a father to call his underaged daughter. The president has also made some uncomfortable comments about his own daughter Ivanka. In 2004 he gave radio host Howard Stern permission to call her a 'piece of ass,' and stated on ABC's The View in 2006 that 'if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her.' Miles Taylor, who served as Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Donald Trump, claimed in his book that the president talked about his daughter's 'breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her.' Donald Trump Jr.'s unsettling AI-generated post was a spoof of American Eagle's recent ad campaign featuring Sweeney, 27. The ads have received backlash online after some accused them of having racist undertones and promoting eugenics. In one ad, Sweeney, a white woman with blue eyes and blond hair, is shown lying down as the camera pans sideways to show her zipping up her jeans as she narrates about genetic traits. sydney sweeneh for american eagle — best of sydney sweeney (@sydneyfiles) July 25, 2025 @sydneyfiles / American Eagle 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue,' Sweeney says before the screen promotes the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' a pun on the word 'genes.' The campaign sparked outrage online as some began calling it an alt-right dog whistle. 'The American Eagles ad wasn't just a commercial. It was a love letter to white nationalism and eugenic fantasies, and Sydney Sweeney knew it,' activist influencer Zellie Imani said on X. The American Eagles ad wasn't just a commercial. It was a love letter to white nationalism and eugenic fantasies, and Sydney Sweeney knew it. — zellie (@zellieimani) July 28, 2025 @zellieimani Right-wingers came to the defense of Sweeney and American Eagle amid the criticism. Texas Senator Ted Cruz said the 'Left' criticizing Sweeney's ads won't poll well. 'Wow. Now the crazy Left has come out against beautiful women,' Cruz wrote on X. So you like the blondes, Ted? — Matthew T. Galati (@MGImmigration) July 29, 2025 X The senator was quickly reminded about the time he liked a hardcore porn video featuring a blond adult actress on Twitter. Donald Trump's communications director, Steven Cheung, chimed in on the controversy, calling it 'Cancel culture run amok.' Cancel culture run amok. This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They're tired of this bullshit. — Steven Cheung (@StevenCheung47) July 29, 2025 X 'This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024.
