June 25, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Caroline Manzo showed off her new figure when she appeared at the red carpet during the premiere of ‘Grown Ups’ on Wednesday. The ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ star has reportedly lost 20 pounds which she thinks is a lot for her as she is just 5′1″. The reality star who is known for her catchphrase ‘thick as thieves’ appeared at the red carpet event in skinny jeans that made her look ravishing.

Caroline Manzo later revealed that the secret to her weight loss was ‘portion control’ in her diet. She also mentioned a lot of other restrictions that included the complete boycott of juices and soda. She said she drank coffee just once a day and had loads of water. About eating, she said that she eats whatever she wants but if it is fatty she consumes it earlier in the day and gradually eats lesser as the day progresses. The actress said that she preferred having pasta for lunch rather than for dinner and for the cheesecake she took half a portion instead of the whole. Apart from the changes in the eating patter, Caroline Manzo reportedly takes the treadmill three times a week for 45 minutes each.

The reality star and mother of 3 started making changes in her lifestyle since March when she became concerned about potential health issues. She said that after 40 she realized she had to undertake measures to take care of her health. She added that she was due to turn 49 this year and had to start thinking about her weight as the metabolism of her body was also decreasing. Caroline Manzo said that at this age she wanted to be aware of her body and start taking good care of it.
