US:Shania Twain says dieting left her 'malnourished'

Shania Twain resorted to "very unhealthy things" to try and lose weight.

The 60-year-old singer admitted she refused to look at herself in the mirror when she was going through menopause because she didn't like the way her body had changed, particularly because she felt "bloated" and her previous ways of maintaining her physique were no longer working.

Discussing her feelings during her Las Vegas residency in 2019, she told The Sunday Times magazine: "In menopause you lose control of your body. So all of a sudden I'm bloating and I'm definitely not in control. I can't just lose five pounds."

"I stopped looking at myself in the mirror. I hated my body. I'm, like, 'Oh, I cannot stand this changing body.' But that was so unhealthy. Who cannot look at themselves in the mirror?"
