Recently, the behind-the-scenes photos posted by Selena Gomez on her personal page quickly attracted nearly 7 million likes. She wore a pastel blue dress with bold makeup, especially bright red lips and classic curly hair. Selena’s appearance is a bit chubby, but she still received many compliments for her vibrant beauty.

Previously, due to the side effects of using drugs to treat lupus erythematosus, Selena Gomez had a long time struggling with weight problems. She explained that this drug caused her body to retain more water than usual, making her prone to weight gain and occasional edema. To keep her body stable, Selena became friends with a diet rich in protein and fiber to reduce excess fat and increase metabolism.

Through the new swimsuit photo posted by Selena, the online community praised her positive change in appearance.

For breakfast, Selena eats eggs and beans. For lunch, she eats rice with a variety of vegetable salads, chicken, and dressings including olive oil vinegar, mustard, red wine, and lemon juice. In the evening, green vegetables make up the majority of her diet. In addition, she eats a lot of protein-rich foods such as beef, salmon, carp, and lean meat. These foods are rich in white protein, so they are easier to digest and absorb than protein from red meat, and are often recommended for dinner.

Although she still has a plump figure, her body is less heavy thanks to following a high-protein, low-carb diet in the evening.

In addition, she still exercises regularly with exercises of appropriate intensity to her physical strength. For the female singer, eating scientifically and exercising is not to lose weight but to help her become healthy and her body not become heavy.

Sharing about her weight problem, Selena said:  “I just want to encourage anyone out there not to feel ashamed of themselves because no one knows what you’ve been through and no one knows the real story. I just want people to know that you are beautiful and you are amazing. I choose to be healthy and take care of myself in the best way possible. My medications are important and I believe they are what help me,” she said .
