Popular
Nigerian comedienne, Lepacious Bose whose weight loss journey stunned
many people, has opened up on the effect of her transformation.
Lepacious
Bose, Nigeria's popular comedienne, on Saturday said she made more
money when she was overweight than when she became slim.
According
to The Nation, Bose said this at a news conference to mark the 2nd
anniversary of Herbal Pro’s flagship product, EZ Slim and the Unveiling
of Nigeria’s First Online Health and Wellness Newsletter in Lagos.
”I
was obese for 25-years. I was never happy being fat and I had health
challenges like my thyroids were aggravating, I was depressed, for two
years I was not menstruating. I was so emotional and each time I visited
the hospital, they will ask me to go and lose weight.
”Though,
I was making a lot of money because it was easy cracking jokes about my
being fat. Now that I am slimming down, I do not make so much money
anymore.
”Above all, my weight loss has been an incredible journey and I am proud of the progress I have made and I don’t intend to stop.
”I
am also proud of the fact that my weight loss is an inspiration to
others. I am happier, healthier and more confident thanks to EZ Slim
product.
”Presently, I am now a size 16. Two years ago, I was obese with a weight of 198kg.”
Also
speaking, Mr Kishore Uttamchandani, Managing Director, Herbal Pro said
that a study by Herbal Pro Limited showed that 89 per cent of people
suffering from high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes
in Nigeria were either overweight or obese.
Uttamchandani
said that the study pointed to the lack of insight about healthy living
as one of the causes of obesity in Nigeria.
He
said the organisation had introduced an online weekly newsletter aimed
at providing information and advice on how to improve health through
healthy living.
”There
has been a significant increase in the level of internet usage in
Nigeria. The internet is a key avenue for researching and passing on
information.
”Being
a company that is into health and wellness, we would like to use the
newsletter to educate, inform and advise Nigerians on how best to live a
healthy life.
”We believe that a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to reducing cases of illnesses,” he said.
In
her remarks, Ms Vivian Iweha, Public Relations Manager of the
organisation, said Herbal Pro was a herbal solution company focused on
improving the health of Nigerians.
