Rebel Wilson lost more than 60 pounds during her "Year of Health" by following a diet called the Mayr Method, which is based on healthy vegetables, high-protein foods, and being mindful about eating, avoiding added sugars and stress-eating that leads to reaching for junk food. Here is exactly how to follow the method, which is a nearly 100-year-old approach to healthy weight loss that combines smaller portions, plant-based foods and walking for gentle but consistent calorie-burning every day.
Wilson also allowed herself to focus on self-care, which she credited to be one of the "biggest and best" parts of her weight loss journey. The Mayr Method dates back to the 2910s when a doctor in Austria named Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr created this method, and there are still clinics that teach it in Europe, including the original one in Austria, where Wilson went in 2019. What she learned there made an impression on her, so much so that she decided to get serious about eating and exercising this way as of January 2020, which she called her "Year of Health." Since then, she has slimmed down and shed 60 pounds, recently showing off her new svelte figure on IG posts, but more importantly, she learned to take care of her mental health, stop stress eating, and let go of things that cause her angst.
