Janice de Belen debuts ‘new self’ at presscon

Veteran star Janice de Belen shocked many members of the press when she revealed her newer and noticeably slender self during the press conference of her latest soap with ABS-CBN titled Oh My G! According to Janice, it took her almost seven months to shed off the excess weight.

While she confessed that the entire process was challenging, Janice stressed that she only had to let go of rice and junk food. 'Mahirap talaga. You know your metabolism changes. I have hypothyroidism, it is really hard. Alam mo I had to give up junk food. Kasi ang sarap manood ng may kinakain ka habang nanonood ako, lalo na 'yung nakakatakot. I had to give it up,' she said.

'Hindi naman talaga ako nagda-diet. I gave up junk food. I try to stay away from rice. Sometimes it does not succeed,” she added.

But Janice that she is “mahina sa exercise.” How her new lifestyle came about, according to her, is something that happened rather accidentally.

'Stressful ang mag-move ng house. So talagang siguro 'yun ang naging start, buhat ka ng gamit, ligpit ng gamit eh di ituloy-tuloy na natin,' she said.

Janice will be back on TV through the noontime soap Oh My G! starring Janella Salvador, Marlo Mortel, and Manolo Pedrosa which will premiere on January 19 before It’s Showtime.
