Ree Drummond’s hard work has paid off. On October 23, the Pioneer Woman star shared her dramatic weight loss with her three million Instagram followers. Ree, 50, has struggled with her body image in the past, and committed to a strict low-carb diet plan, despite her fame for creating savory and carb-packed dishes.
The Food Network star took a mirror selfie, in which she rocked a black blouse, a colorful shawl, skinny jeans and chestnut booties. “We interrupt our regularly scheduled cowgirl floral attire to bring you this outside-the-elevator, slightly boho selfie,” Ree began her social media update’s caption. “These jeans are a size smaller than I’ve worn for (quite) awhile and even though they were skin tight (as you can probably see) and a long top was required, they buttoned.”
She continued, "I attribute this to spending the last month only allowing myself to watch a show I’ve been wanting to watch (one that I’m not going to trivialize by inserting it into this fashion and fitness post) if I did so on my rowing machine. It just took two full seasons for the buttoning to be successful. In other news, Elisabeth Moss is everything.”
The food blogger and chef was inspired to do the ketogenic diet last summer, and she even included low-carb recipes in her latest cookbook, New Frontier. Ree’s sixth cookbook includes “suggestions for how to lighten up an otherwise really carb-heavy dish. It’s been really fun to come up with versions of really delicious dishes that you can take a few steps to make them lower in carbs.” She also included recipes that were more carb-heavy.

Ree has struggled with her body image in the past. In July 2018, the mother-of-four shared a mirror selfie where she first opened up about how she had been “eating low-carb for a couple of months” in order to improve how she saw herself. Since, she returned to a “more sustainable, realistic way of eating.”
The cookbook author also revealed that New Frontier is most reflective of her life in terms of eating. “Some days I’m like, ‘You know what? I’m going to use spaghetti squash instead of pasta,’” Ree confessed. “And the next day I eat, like, a big lasagna roll up with creamy shrimp scampi.”
Ree’s latest cookbook, New Frontier, hit bookshelves on October 22.
