    Jenny McCarthy feels "25 again" after swapping her vegan meals for a meat-based diet

    The 52-year-old TV star spent years avoiding animal products because she wanted to eat "clean" but it played havoc with her digestive system and left her feeling bloated and she was told to try a "carnivore" diet by a doctor who warned her she may need a colostomy bag if her bowel problems didn't clear up


    She told PEOPLE: "My bloat was so bad that it always made me feel like I was about three months pregnant.

    "And I'm sorry if this is too TMI [too much information], but I was a complicated person who only went to the bathroom once every 14 days ...

    "I went on the carnivore diet. I was so against it, but my doctor was like, you've tried everything but this, so you're going carnivore ...

    "I've got to tell you, it saved my gut. I go to the bathroom every single day now - and it made me feel like I was 25 again."

    Jenny explained she suffers from a long list of health problems including Hashimoto's disease, a leaky gut and Coeliac disease, but her new diet has helped her feel better and she's also lost weight and her skin problems have cleared up.

    She added: "All of my acne has cleared up. In one month, I lost 12 to 15 pounds ... You can't half-a** it [the diet]. But if I showed you a picture of my face from even a year ago, it's so different. I didn't realize how swollen I was all the time."

    It comes after Jenny previously had to deny she'd been taking the drug Ozempic to lose weight, insisting she's slimmed down naturally but used a an AirSculpt procedure to remove fat from her tummy.

    She previously told Us Weekly: "As women, we hear the: 'Oh no, when you get older you're gonna get that tire on your belly. There's nothing you can do.'

    "And I always thought I was kind of invincible because I was a jock in school. I'm like, 'I played every sport. I've worked out forever.

    "I'm not gonna have that problem.' But no matter how much I tried to intermittent fast [to combat aging, its side effects persist].

    "And I'm not an Ozempic person. I wanted a permanent solution to a targeted area with a bonus of fixing my hands - and that's what I got."
