Lauren Ash reveals how she shed pounds while battling ilness

Lauren Ash recently got candid about her weight loss journey after her fans speculated that she had undergone surgery to look slimmer.

However, the 41-year-old actress dismissed the rumours by posting a lengthy note on her Instagram in 2022.

“You know what’s fun? When you’re living in a larger body, people post that they’re concerned for your health,” penned Lauren.

She further wrote, “Then, when you transition into a smaller body, people post that they’re concerned for your health. Starting to feel like there’s no winning as a woman.”

The Superstore alum continued that she lost weight because she “removed stress from my life. That’s it. It’s amazing what our bodies hold onto when in a prolonged state of stress.”

Amidst the criticism about her weight loss, Lauren bravely revealed that she has been diagnosed with PCOS, a condition she has been battling since June 2022, shedding light on the challenges she faces.

In another IG post, Lauren shared that she underwent surgery for cysts on her right ovary due to PCOS.

Recently, in an interview with Women’s Health, the Not Dead Yet actress opened up about her condition.

She said that her doctor advised her to “eat less and exercise more.”

“I threw myself into an extreme diet and exercise routine,” she added.
