Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy is a comedian, actress, and fashion designer. As an actress, she has won several awards, including two Primetime Emmys and nominations for two Academy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. She is recognized for roles in movies such as The Hangover Part 3, The Boss, and Identity Theft. Together with her husband, fellow comedian Ben Falcone, whom she has been married to since 2005, they have two daughters, Vivian and Georgette.

Prior to becoming a mom, the Bridesmaids star was already trying her hand on diets, reportedly losing an incredible 70 pounds in preparation for her role in the 2000s series Gilmore Girls. Since then, the actress has seldom practiced dieting until her 2016 75-pound weight loss. She credits this accomplishment to a high-protein and low-carb diet, with her consistently going to sleep when 7:30 PM comes around.
