Missy Elliott lost 43 pounds: What does the 51-year-old star look like?

Social media users are happy with the changes in rap star Missy Elliott’s appearance. She released a video in honor of her birthday the other day and she surprised her fans with her appearance. Missy started looking younger than at the start of her career. She has lost 43 pounds since the release of Under Construction (2002).

Elliott has been leading a healthy lifestyle for many years – he refused fatty foods, sweets and alcohol. Such changes are related to the health of the artist. In 2011, doctors diagnosed him with hyperthyroidism. This is a disease of the thyroid gland associated with a violation of the production of iodine-containing hormones. The diagnosis was made after the rap artist almost had an accident: he could barely manage due to severe leg spasms. He was sent for treatment after the incident – and was put on a strict diet. Then the artist began to lose weight.

Recently, her diet has become more difficult. The 51-year-old singer admitted to losing a few more pounds in recent months. Refused flour, juices and sweet carbonated drinks. And I started drinking more water.

“I started to feel better thanks to this diet,” Missy Elliott told her subscribers.

Diet is not the only way to lose weight. The singer admitted that she regularly goes in for sports. And she did it at home – she watched the dance master classes and repeated the movements of the coach.

The image of the artist has also changed – now she wears long hair and is brightly dyed. By the way, her style has also changed – now she is more likely to wear tight-fitting outfits that emphasize her figure. Fans drew attention to the transformation of their idol.

“Amazing!”, “Missy, what’s your secret?”, “You’re like a good wine – it gets better with years!” – Followers write comments under the singer’s posts.
