Whitney Portadmits she “doesn’t look healthy” in a candid episode of her podcast that addressed her weight and her relationship with food.
About a week after addressing fans’ concerns about her health and sharing that her husbandTim Rosenmanhad similar worries, Port, 38, opened up about her health on Tuesday’s episode ofher podcast,With Whit.
“Getting on the scale was really an eye opener,” she continued. “I think that once you see the numbers, the numbers can’t lie and I had no idea that I weighed as little as I did.”
The Hillsalum spoke about how she thinks her time on the popular reality series at a young age prompted an early reflection on her appearance.
She also addressed the “salacious” articles and social media content about her weight and health, and cleared the air on a rumor that she’s never tried pasta out of fear of gaining weight: “It has nothing to do with nutrition and that it can be a cause of weight gain. It’s a pure texture thing.”
The former reality star said she often complains about feeling a “lack of energy” and thinks that “part of that stems from not giving myself what [I] actually need.” The podcast episode’s guest wasFood Network’sKatie Lee Biegel, and Port said their conversation came at a good time because she wants to “get more into the cooking game” to improve her diet and eating habits.
Port also told her listeners that she didn’t want them to worry about her because she doesn’t think “it is as big of an issue as it may seem” before she promised to change her habits and thanked fans looking out for her wellbeing.
“I want to eat thoughtfully, I want to put the right things in my body and I also want to work out in a way that will build muscle — I’m on it, guys,” she said. “Thank you for caring, thank you for your love, your support. I appreciate the community on here.”

“I always feel hungry but I just don’t know what to eat. It’s not how I want to look or feel though,” Port wrote. “My excuses are that I’m too lazy to make feeding myself a priority or I’m too picky when it comes to taste and quality.”
She promised to focus on her health at the end of the post, as she did in the podcast, writing: “Both are unacceptable and I don’t want to set an unhealthy example so I promised Timmy and I’ll promise you that my health will be a priority."
