Kandi Burruss opened up about her recent weight loss while appearing on the March 28 episode of Hollywood Life's "TV Talk," revealing that she's lost a whopping 20 pounds since November 2020.

“I’ve lost 20 pounds since November. I want to lose 10 more pounds,” she shared, noting that she cut out sugar and bread from her diet.

“I always do this prayer fast during the first month of the year,” Burruss explained. “But I actually did it for 2 months. December, January.” 

According to the report, Burruss will be seen working out with her trainer during upcoming episodes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and has also been seen with him throughout the pandemic on her social media pages.

“I took out all sweets,” Burruss continued. “I stopped eating all sweets, bread. I only drank water, no juices, anything, and then I took some appetite suppressants so I didn’t feel hungry all of the time. I’m not even going to lie to you, I needed a little help, so it just helped me stay on course."

"That basically was it and over the 2-and-a-half months I lost 20 pounds and I’d like to lose 10 more although I have started back eating sweets here and there but I’ve got to catch myself before I get out of whack. But yeah, I want to lose 10 more pounds,” Burruss stated.

In September of last year, Burruss took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that she had returned to working out after putting on 20 pounds since May of that year.

"At the beginning of COVID I was working out and I was in shape, and even then I wanted to lose 10 pounds. But I ended up getting lax and comfortable, and I ended up gaining 20," she admitted. 

"So that means I have 30 pounds of which I really would like to lose. And I just want to better myself overall. I just want to get used to making working out a part of my regular routine,” Burruss went on.

As fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" have likely seen, a number of women from the cast, including Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey, have been open about their weight ups and downs in recent months.

Speaking of Moore, Burruss had good things to say about her progress.

“Kenya lost — She’s skinny now!” Burruss said. “Yeah, she’s super skinny. I think everybody’s just trying to tighten up.”

Although fans won't be seeing the final reveal, when it comes to the cast's recent weight loss, during the episodes of season 13, they may look quite different during the recently taped reunion special.

To see more of Burruss and her cast mates, don't miss new episodes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 13 on Sunday nights at 8/7c on Bravo.
