Real Housewives of New Jersey star Lauren Manzo is revealing that her lap band surgery hasn’t helped her conquer her constant weight battle.
“A lot of people are telling me I took the easy way out, which I didn’t because I struggle every day still with the lap band,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star confessed in an exclusive interview with Celebuzz.
Manzo Said “My goal weight is 115 to 120,” the reality star, who recently fit into size six pants, said. “To be honest, I don’t ever remember weighing 120 on a scale. My whole life, I remember always being between 150 and 160. I have always been heavy like that.”
“People tell me that I am lazy, but I am not lazy at all — I am in the gym every morning at 6:30 a.m. to 8: 30 a.m, I eat a lot of protein and vegetables. No salt, no sugar, no carbs and no fat. It really is not easy. If I take a big bite of anything — doesn’t matter what it is — I will probably end up throwing it up.”.”
Sticking to that diet is not easy especially if you are coming from an Italian family like Manzos. She is used to eat a lot of Italian home-cooked carb-heavy foods but she still manages to bring healthy options to the table and her mom also seems to like them.
Manzo said “Now I cook healthy meals and my mom enjoys them with me.In the winter, it’s the hardest because we have all the cheese and wine and the pasta, but now nobody wants that because it’s summer. We want to barbecue, so it is a little bit easier for me right now.”
