What The Pioneer Woman Actually Eats In A Day

During the summer of 2021, as many folks were emerging from quarantine, Ree Drummond stepped out looking markedly slimmer. Naturally, when a celebrity loses weight, fans get curious as to how, and Drummond's response was pretty great. For one, she wrote on her blog that getting thin was not her primary goal — rather, she wanted to "feel better and have more energy." Secondly, she listed the things she didn't do, which includes intermittent fasting, the Keto diet, joining a weight loss group or app, buying special foods, or hiring a trainer.

So, just how did Drummond get in shape? She went back to basics. "Counting my calories was nothing short of eye opening, and for me it was essential," she revealed. "I'd completely lost track of the calories I was consuming on a daily basis, so it was very helpful to get a handle on what I was looking at." Drummond also weighed her food on a digital scale, which resulted in smaller portions than she was used to. And, of course, she exercised. Sometimes, the easiest answer is the simplest one, even if it requires hard work.
