Valerie Bertinelli Shows Off Bikini Bod At 48

Valerie Bertinelli has come a long way from being a skinny child actress to becoming a bigger actress literally. However, at 48 years old, Valerie Bertinelli is revealing another side of her, a sexier and more toned 5′4” frame that has lost an estimated 50 pounds after nine months of hard work. She will be revealing her new body and the story behind it as she graces the cover of People Magazine this April. Being on the cover of a magazine and wearing a two-piece is indeed a revelation especially for someone who has not worn a bikini in public for the last 30 years.
Valerie Bertinelli used to weigh 172 pounds then went down to 132 pounds thanks to Jenny Craig. However, she prepared for the bikini shoot by losing more weight before the actual pictorial by lowering her calorie intake from 1,700 to 1,200 per day and by cutting down on her salt intake. This diet plus one hour of gym time daily took care of Valerie Bertinelli’s jiggly bits. It also helps that she now has a healthier relationship with food by looking at it as something to nourish her body rather than something to soothe her discomfort.

I tip my hat to her losing weight, but I wonder if she truly developed a body that toned on diet alone, especially at that age. When one gains a lot of weight at middle age, the skin loses elasticity, and for many women that age, excess skin will not shrink without some sort of cosmetic surgery, let alone, for a woman who has had children. I run 10 miles a day six days per week. I do a total body work out with weights 3 times per week. In the summer I cycle 300 miles per week, and do a 200 mile ride in one day once a month on top of the other cycling I have mentioned. I am very muscular. At 5 ft 4, I weigh 134 pounds, but guess what, I cannot get rid of the extra skin (Apron) I have at my bikini line, so I do not wear swim suits because I am self conscious. I happen to be Valerie Bertinelli’s age, and It seems almost a miracle that at middle age, she has gotten rid of excess skin or pockets of excess cellulite and fat on diet alone. Ah, if only I could get away with just a one hour work out per day to lose my jiggy bits, I would be so happy; however, some of us have to really work our asses off to just minimize those jiggy bit Valerie has miraculously gotten rid of.
