Ex-adult film star Jenna Jameson lays off the latkes to lose lbs
Former porn actress and convert to Judaism shows off before-and-after photos of her 57-pound weight loss on the ketogenic diet
Jenna Jameson’s Instagram handle might be “Jennacantlose,” but her recent photos suggest otherwise.
Before and after pics posted to Jameson’s Instagram account this week show the former adult film star down 57 pounds (26 kilo) since she and her Israeli fiance Lior Bitton welcomed their first child together – daughter Batel Lu Bitton – in April 2017.
The star credits the low-carb ketogenic diet, which she’s followed since March of this year, for her weight loss.
“I took the pic on the right for a body positive post I was going to do and decided against it,” Jameson wrote, saying that she had felt “lethargic” and “struggled with the simplest of tasks.” Now, Jameson says, she feels “happier, smarter, and much more confident.”
The mother of three – Jameson also has twin 9-year-old boys with ex-boyfriend and UFC champ Tito Ortiz – posts regularly about her weight loss regimen and sober lifestyle.
Since converting to Judaism for Bitton in 2015, Jameson, who was raised Catholic, has embraced her role as a modern Jewish mom. She led Instagram followers on a kosher culinary journey, posting photos of Jewish recipes she learned, and continues to post pre-Shabbat messages along with baby Batel.
Jameson also admitted to having a crush on Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu – and endured an anti-Semitic response by white supremacist David Duke, who said that “Jews dominate porn,” and asked “Why are ‘Christians’ OK with that?”
But the former porn actress doesn’t spend too much time worrying about what people think. She has been an outspoken supporter of Israel in recent years, as evidenced by a shirtless photo of herself with an Israeli flag painted on her back posted during the 2015-2016 “Knife Intifada.”
Her message: “Stay strong, Israel.”
