Sheryl Burke has shed a significant amount of weight but is enjoying sweeter aspects of life.
“When I was at my heaviest, I hit around 150 pounds,” Burke shared in a recent interview. She mentioned that monitoring her weight daily became a challenge, so she stopped doing it.
“The last time I checked, I was 109,” she reflected on her weight loss journey. “I feel—I feel great. My energy is on another level. That number isn’t what really counts. It’s about how I feel.”
The 41-year-old “Dancing with the Stars” alum still treats herself, saying, “I eat licorice.” Interestingly, she hasn’t been trying to lose more weight.
“I start my day with a fruit shake, which is actually higher in calories than any of my meals,” she explained. “I have to grab matcha from Pete’s Coffee in the morning. If they have hot pretzel bread, I can’t resist because it’s just the best.”
Beauty influencers noted that while they’re “very generous” with their diets, they prefer a “delicious” meal delivery service called Zen.
“I usually have fruit and oatmeal for breakfast,” she detailed. “Then there are snacks like pitas, chips, and hummus. Lunch typically includes a salad, and dinner isn’t diet food—it’s real food.”
Burke also admitted to being an “emotional eater” in the past, revealing that she used to hit fast food drive-thrus late at night. Now, she can hardly recall the last time she craved fast food.
She described Zen as akin to having personal chefs that help her “create more balance” in her meals. “I’ve learned that depriving myself only to binge later doesn’t do my body any good,” she added.
Burke, who was previously married to Matthew Lawrence, emphasized multitasking as a key part of her health routine.
“I walk my dog a few miles daily,” she said, adding, “I even use a treadmill to edit my content. Now that I’m a full-time beauty influencer, it allows me to combine work with fitness.” It’s quite the unique setup, really.
She first shared details about her remarkable weight loss journey back in May and reiterated, “I have more energy than ever.”
