It was, Garcelle Beauvais-Nikon says, the “scariest part” of her pregnancy: when she stood on the scale and realize that, at 172 pounds, she weighed more than her husband.

Still, after giving birth to twins, the 5’8� Garcelle Beauvais, 41, says I “really wanted my body to heal.� So instead of returning to the gym, she signed up for the low-carb diet delivery service Sunfare, which had her on 1,200 calories a day.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nikon’s diet Typical meals include yogurt with almonds and fruit for breakfast and kung pao beef for dinner.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nikon’s weight loss Five months after delivery, she had lost 30 pounds to hit 142 pounds, and has now reached her goal of 135 pounds, with Pilates and running on treadmill for 40 minutes, three days a week.
