Weight Loss: Teddi Jo Mellencamp’s Secret to Losing 80 Pounds!
Before discussing how she was able to achieve weight loss, let’s have a quick glance at how Teddi Jo Mellencamp (@teddimellencamp) gained so much weight in her teenage years. At the age of 19, the former RHOBH star “officially” became “a pizza VIP!” as she had ordered over 100 pizzas in one year. She gained over 80 pounds at the time.
She then tried “everything from cleanses to the cookie diet” and in fact “did the HCG diet, which involved getting weekly injections of what I hoped was actually HCG, which supposedly would help boost [her] metabolism so I could lose weight quicker.”

Although Teddi Mellencamp acknowledged that some of her diets were effective for weight loss, she was aware that her weight fluctuated and that her actions weren’t healthy. She previously explained,
By the time I hit 26 years old, I realized I needed to get my head out of the LA game and spend more time in my happy place: riding horses professionally. I got so absorbed that I spent hours and hours riding, often forgetting to eat or grabbing just a small snack on the run. My weight went down, but again, it wasn’t necessarily healthy.
Teddi Mellencamp revealed that opening an Instagram account to track her weight loss progress marked a turning point in her transformation. She added,
I started an Instagram dedicated to my fitness journey and posted about all the different workouts I tried. I had a blast, learning to love lots of types of exercise and making new friends. But after one year I’d only lost about 25 pounds. I wasn’t upset about it—I felt better mentally and stronger physically—but I knew I could do better. It was time to deal with my nutrition… or lack thereof.
On the other hand, the celebrity was able to eat healthily after sharing on social media about her feelings and anxiety. After Instagram gave her accountability, she decided to start her own business, All In, which focuses on women’s health goals.

Likewise, some users on Reddit had a discussion and shared their thoughts. One person wrote,
So I heard that she just made the participants starve themselves. What would happen if they ate more than they were supposed to? Or skipped a day of working out? Or binge ate. How did she stop/punish that?
In the same post, another user replied,
Teddi has no credentials to give dietary advice and neither do her coaches. TBH, it sounds like an MLM because many coaches are former clients.
If you check the Reddit discussion, there are multiple stories of why so many people believe her program is a “shady program.” However, we do not have any personal opinions about her program. We encourage everyone to do more research and make decisions.
