How Soleil Moon Frye Dropped the Baby Weight:

How Soleil Moon Frye dropped 40 pounds of baby weight.

There’s something to be said for sticking with an approach that worked for you in the past. Just ask Soleil Moon Frye, who used Nutrisystem to drop the baby weight twice. After her fourth child was born in 2016, the actress- directorscreenwriter ( best known for Punky Brewster) went back to the diet plan to help her lose 40 pounds because she’d had success with it after having her third baby two years earlier.

ALL SYSTEMS GO

“I’m not somebody that can live on ice water and fruit and veggies — I need to eat!” says Soleil, now 41, author of Happy Chaos and Let’s Get This Party Started. The diet plan “helped me lose weight in a very healthy way where I’m still eating and enjoying my life.” Though she didn’t work with Soleil, Elisa Zied, a nutrition consultant in NYC and author of Younger Next Week, says: “I like that she didn’t subscribe to the typical dieter’s don’t-eat-this-or-that mentality. Eating less and making better choices doesn’t have to mean giving up food. It could mean including more nutrient-rich foods while leaving room for smaller amounts of less-nutritious options.” Zied also approves of the basic Nutrisystem approach — which is high in fiber and protein, and low in added sugars and saturated fats. “That’s a win- win for satiety, energy and maintaining muscle mass,” says Zied, “especially as you get older.”
