Valerie Bertinelli Reveals New Weight Loss After Giving Up That One Thing
Valerie Bertinelli just shared that weight loss was an unexpected side effect of quitting alcohol consumption last month.
On her TikTok account, Bertinelli posted a video walking and talking to the camera when she revealed her experience Dry January, a grassroots movement where people give up drinking for the first month of the new year, had a “side effect “unexpected.
“So here’s a nice little side effect of Dry January,” she said. “These jeans I’m wearing were so tight a few months ago that I couldn’t comfortably button them up. Now they’re so baggy that it’s time for me to go down a size.”
She continued, “Yeah, I like that side effect.”

Last month, the Food Network star announced that she was attending Dry January for two reasons.
“First, I want to try to curb my sugar cravings. And I think alcohol exacerbates that,” Bertinelli said in a social media video.
The second reason was to reduce stress.
“I want to calm the cortisol in my body that’s been raging for five or six years. I’ve been in fight, flight, freeze, fawn mode. And I want to rest and digest,” she shared. “I think cutting out alcohol will help me do that.”
