Raven-Symoné credits her 'amazing' wife for inspiring her to lose 30lbs in three months
- Raven-Symoné spoke to E! News about her weight loss and health journey.
- Symoné said she was motivated to lose weight after marrying Miranda Maday in June 2020.
- Symoné said that Maday doesn't want to take her "to an early grave."
Raven-Symoné has shed 30lbs so far in her weight loss journey, and she said her wife is her biggest motivator.
While speaking to E! News, the "That's So Raven" actress opened up about her desire to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Symoné, 35, told the publication that it started when she married Miranda Maday.
"This was because we want to have a life together," Symoné told E! News. "She doesn't want to take me to an early grave and I want to make sure I am there for her in the best health possible."
Symoné added that she previously went to a doctor's appointment and received "horrendous numbers" on medical examinations.
After that, Symoné made adjustments to her that caused the lifestyle switch.
In June, she appeared on Good Morning America and revealed that the impressive weight loss occurred over three months.
"I'm not over here trying to be a little twig," Symoné told GMA. "I'm not trying to be, like, 'Oh my God, look at me.' I have a goal in mind and it's not just weight loss, it's really complete body health."
Symoné continued that she does "very minimal exercise," and she eats "low carb" as much as she can. She told GMA that she's "an avid faster" who tries to have a "minimum of 14-hour fast" between breakfast and dinner.
Symoné previously opened up about her body image in 2017, saying that she experienced body-shaming as a Disney Channel star and that it gave her "so many mental issues."
Last June, Symoné revealed in a series of Instagram posts that she tied the knot with Maday.
"I got married to a woman who understands me from trigger to joy, from breakfast to midnight snack, from stage to home," the caption read. "I love you Mrs. Pearman-Maday! Let's tear this world a new asshole!!! I's married NOW."
