Jelena recently revealed she has lost 20kg in 10 months after living with an eating disorder for two decades.
Taking to Instagram in June, the commentator shared a post comparing her current appearance with how she looked back in 2023, when she was 20kg heavier.
In the caption, she stressed that she was happy in both pictures, adding that weight loss was not the goal but simply a ‘byproduct’ of adopting healthier habits.
‘This is about HEALTH and not SIZE,’ she continued. ‘So many questions about me getting healthier, which has seen me lose weight. Weight loss was not a priority; it’s just a byproduct of looking after my health.’
Addressing those who accused her of crash-dieting, Jelena went on to clarify: ‘I didn’t lose weight quickly. I lost 20 kilos in just under 10 months. Nothing fast.’
Jelena explained she had lost the weight because of ‘a family history of diabetes’ and the fact she had recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure.
‘I am the same hardworking person, respectful, generous, empathetic, compassionate, humble, kind, driven, strong, resilient, capable and loving person, woman and friend,’ she added’

She also revealed exactly how she did it.
‘I stopped eating late at night especially things like burgers, pizza, fries and desserts because they made me feel so sluggish when I would wake up especially for early morning work and flights.
‘So I don’t eat heavy meals at night anymore and I don’t eat after 7pm,’ Jelena wrote.
‘I eat more salads and soups for my meals now like a chicken caesar salad or tomato soup with multigrain bread. This type of meal does not make me feel sluggish and I am full.
‘I drink more water now and I have cut back on soda, even diet soda.
‘It’s small changes over time and while I still have my cheeseburger and fries days it’s just a lot less and I definitely don’t eat junk food when I am working and travelling,’ she concluded.
