Is it really her? Many could not believe their eyes when Jennifer Hudson showed off her new dream body on the red carpet for the first time. The Oscar-winning actress was barely recognizable. So fitness.com just had to ask her what her diet goals were as this new 29-year-old fitness icon.
For years she was the opposite of Hollywood's slim celebrity female stars. With a little bit more weight on her – to the public Jennifer Hudson was a powerful voice and a charismatic, enthusiastic star. The singer and actress, who received among other things, the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in Dream Girls; proved her worth despite the extra pounds.
But Hudson herself grew tired of her curves. She no longer wanted to rely solely on her artistic talent, but also provide a new dream body sensation for her, and to the world. Up until today this once chubby Hollywood star has lost 30 pounds. Since the birth of her son in the summer of 2009, Hudson was fasting. According to Los Angeles Times, in the first seven months of her diet she had already lost 27 pounds.
