She kicked sugar out of her diet, which she called an addictive drug.
The Disney Channel star was addicted to it in wheat form and regular form and said it is now out of her body completely.
She joked that she would consume sugar in fish filets with an extra packet of ketchup-two on Fridays.
Raven switched to whole foods and now does intermittent fasting.

She also added that she lost 40 pounds without any exercise.
The reason why she wanted to get healthier and lose weight was her wife and scary results at the doctor’s.
“What made me want to change was her,” she pointed to her wife beside her. “I want to be here for her as long as I can. I found out some numbers at the doctor that were not pleasant for someone in my age bracket—or any age bracket, to be honest with you. And with her help, and guidance, and love, and fantastic cooking skills—which everyone here knows—she helped me kick sugar.”
Raven added that she does still enjoy cookies, but that they are keto-friendly.
She also talks to someone at The View about fasting every day, which helps her a lot.
SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT
Fans were quick to praise the Cheetah Girls alum for her weight loss.
On an article chronicling her journey, one Twitter user wrote, “Sugar will do it. Good for her.”
Others were quick to just type out congratulations!
Another fan on Facebook joked that they ‘feel her on the fish filets.’
One Facebook user wrote: “She is pretty big or small if it’s was health reasons then good on her.”
