Janet Jackson has revealed the secret of her weight loss, in an interview with US Magazine. The former Jackson 5 and solo star weighed around 180 pounds just six years ago but swears by the Nutrisystem weight loss plan, which still allows her to eat the snacks and treats that she craves.
Jackson is only 5ft 4 inches tall and has famously struggled with keeping her weight down and fitting in with the constraints placed on those in the public eye. Of course, a struggle with weight gain isn't just confined to the world of celebrities and Janet told reporters "People can relate to me because I have lived it. I truly understand what it's like to have a problem with weight loss, losing too much weight or gaining more than you desire" and stressed that she is intent on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, rather than focusing on dieting. "It's about keeping it off. We can all lose weight, but learning how to keep it off -- maintaining it - is what's difficult. Nutrisystem teaches you how to do that."
