Tyra Banks To Reveal Details On 30 Lb Weight Loss

After years of being scrutinized for her growing frame, talk-show host and former Victoria Secret Model, Tyra Banks has reclaimed her svelte, yet still curvy, body.

According to People Magazine, the talk-show host will reveal on her show on Wednesday how and why she shed 30 pounds - and the reasons may surprise you.

Instead of just doing it to lose weight, the 30-year-old sought out help to end her chronic stomachaches. “I would get major attacks,” says Tyra. “I would be in bed for days, it was so painful.”

With the help of nutritionist, Heather Bauer, the former model started keeping a food journal to document what could be causing the problems. “I switched up my unhealthy eating habits for healthier habits, and I haven’t had a tummy attack since December ’08,” she says.

Heather helped Tyra identify foods that made her feel good and which did not. “It’s about working with what you’ve got,” explains Tyra. “And knowing and learning what’s right for your body.”

But the talk-show host isn’t turning her back on her curvy figure. “I feel good about my curves and my imperfections – my booty, my boobs, my thighs – I embrace it all,” she says.

Referring to her shocking 2007 comment about her figure, Tyra claims, “Now I can really say… ‘kiss my fat – and still fat – ass.’”
