Lori Harvey on Business, Babies and Teaching Boyfriend Michael B. Jordan 'Everything' About Skincare "But everybody's been asking like what it is I specifically did to get my body to this point. So when Mike and I got together, I gained like 15 pounds of relationship weight and it was horrible, none of my clothes fit, it was just not OK," she said, referring to her boyfriend of over a year, Michael B. Jordan. Harvey continued, "So I've been consistently doing Pilates for like the last year. I've done it for a few years, but I've been really consistent the last year. And when I was trying to drop weight, I was working out like five, six times a week, and I would even do, for the first month and a half, I would even do two-a-days." In terms of her diet during that time, Harvey said she wasn't on a "specific eating regimen" but was on a strict calorie deficit. "I think I was consuming like 1,200 calories in a day, max. I was trying to do like meat and veggies and like minimal carbs." The USDA and Department of Health and Human Services recommend that active adult women in their 20s consume 2,400 calories a day.

"I had this sprint interval circuit that I would do so I would do Pilates in the morning and then I would sometimes directly go to the gym and hop on the treadmill for 30 minutes or I also like to do a hike or I would run the stairs, just some type of cardio." "That's how you drop," she stated. "Pilates alone is not gonna make you lose weight, it's just gonna give you long, lean muscles. So yeah, that's how I did it."

Jordan Are '4 Lifers' in Cute Birthday Tribute "The situation for me was real enough [to share]," he previously told The Hollywood Reporter of going public with Lori. "There's a premeditated planning of staying out of the way [of the public eye] that sometimes kills spontaneity and intimacy. I wanted to take that away and give this the best chance it had, in this weird world that we live in, to be somewhat normal."
