Mikayla Nogueira is setting the record straight with a refreshing transparency. After showcasing her incredible 60-pound weight loss transformation, the beloved TikTok sensation took to the platform once more to clarify her approach, emphatically insisting that she achieved her goal "entirely naturally," amidst swirling rumors about potential weight loss aids. "Let me stress the word 'naturally,'" Mikayla asserted in a July 29 TikTok video, elaborate that her journey centered around incorporating a calorie-deficit diet and making smarter food selections.
To empower others to embark on similar healthy paths, the 27-year-old offered an insightful glimpse into the preparation of one of her go-to meals that significantly contributed to her weight loss journey. "If you haven't guessed already, these are burger bowls," Mikayla exclaimed as she arranged a plate brimming with succulent meat, gooey cheese, and vibrant vegetable ingredients for her beloved recipe. "Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, crunchy croutons, tangy pickles, a juicy hamburger patty, slathered in ketchup and mustard—they're incredibly mouthwatering and satisfying."
Moreover, Mikayla noted that her family, including her husband Cody Hawken, shares a deep affection for these nutritious dishes. "He loves them too," she added warmly.
The dietary shift has also sparked other noticeable changes in Mikayla's appearance. The influencer shared that her fashion preferences have evolved, and even her wedding rings no longer fit due to her remarkable transformation. "The reason is simple—they don't fit me anymore," she revealed to her followers in a January 28 TikTok, demonstrating how loosely the bands now sat on her finger. "After losing 60 pounds, this ring looks enormous on me. I either need to resize it or get a new one, because it's way too big."
Fortunately, Mikayla has another meaningful way to symbolize her everlasting bond with Cody, whom she married in 2023. "I have a 'C' tattooed on my finger," she shared, albeit with a chuckle about its imperfections. "It's not great," she admitted, "but I'll definitely get it fixed. However, if I wear this ring now, it'll slip right off and I might lose it, so that's the tea," she concluded with a wink.
