Shania Twain admits unhealthy habit to lose weight: "Malnourished"

Singer Shania Twain, 60, reported becoming malnourished after resorting to extreme methods in an attempt to lose weight. The artist said that she faced a delicate period during the hormonal changes that accompany menopause and explained that the difficulty in dealing with changes in her own body affected her self-esteem.

In an interview with the British newspaper The Times, the performer of "You're Still the One" spoke openly about the challenges she faced in 2019, when performing on the "Let's Go!" residency tour in Las Vegas.

"I stopped looking at myself in the mirror. I hated my body. I thought: 'I can't stand this body changing'. But that wasn't healthy at all. Who can't look at themselves in the mirror?", he said.

Shania recalled that the changes of menopause brought a feeling of loss of control.

"Suddenly I was bloated and I definitely had no control over it. I couldn't just lose three pounds."

The singer confessed to having adopted harmful habits. "I became malnourished... to be thin. I exercised my body more than I fed it so that it could withstand all that effort."

The combination of dietary restrictions and the presentation routine had consequences for his health. The artist said she suffered a thigh injury during shows in Las Vegas.

Now, the Canadian star said she sees menopause from a different perspective.

"Menopause has been really good for me because I've learned that there are things you just can't control."
