Actress Bea Alonzo admits that she has always struggled with her weight. She was an overweight teenager and even when she had lost the extra poundage, she would still get, “Oh you’re so thin in person” or “You’re so fat on TV” a lot.
The actress said these comments used to affect her a lot but self-love has changed her.
“I am no longer the same person that I was then. I am more comfortable in my skin now. I know I am not perfect and I’m okay with that. I’m more confident and less hard on myself than I was before.”
These days, Alonzo is in fighting form, a healthy adult who no longer struggles with her weight. She doesn’t even go on diets and eats what she wants but she does exercise, sleep well and makes sure to take care of her gut health by drinking Beautéderm’s Reiko Slimaxine and Reiko Fitox.
Both supplements are Japan-made, 100 percent safe, effective, Food and Drug Administration-compliant and all-natural.
“If I have any advice to give to teenagers who want to lose weight, I’d say do it for yourself and your health, and not for any guy or other people,” said Alonzo during the launch to announce her being named the ambassador of Beautéderm’s Reiko Slimaxine and Reiko Fitox.
“This endorsement is very special to me because it is my first new endorsement during this pandemic.”
The 34-year-old actress said she just returned from Madrid, where she enjoyed good food and even indulged a bit. The key is moderation.
Alonzo’s Beautéderm ambassadorship comes as no surprise to those who know CEO Rhea Anicoche Tan, who is a fan of the actress and loves to call her Basha.
Basha is a character played by Alonzo opposite John Lloyd Cruz’s Popoy in the movies One More Chance and A Second Chance.
We also asked Tan how she stays fit (at just over 40 years old, she wears an XS at less than 100 lbs).
“I love vegetables and my first meal of the day at 11 am is always dinengdeng. I don’t eat large meals. I just eat small portions. And of course, I take Fitox and Slimaxine.”
Dinengdeng is an Ilocano dish that contains vegetables, grilled fish and bagoong isda. It’s like a soupy pinakbet.
“Beautéderm launched the Reiko and Kenzen supplements because of the pandemic and people’s need to be healthier. Slimaxine and Fitox were meticulously developed and formulated to help the body in achieving optimum digestive health. The combination of both supplements helps in regulating the intake of unhealthy food and aids the stomach in the absorption of nutrients.”
Alonzo said she takes Fitox and Slimaxine every day and it helps her with digestion without any inconveniences.
“Being healthy has been my priority since the pandemic started. Unfortunately, I got Covid in January with symptoms like body pains and difficulty in breathing. What happened only strengthened my resolve to take care of myself more.”
Alonzo has work for a movie and will soon star in the GMA adaptation of the Korean drama Start-Up opposite Alden Richards, and she’s very happy to be finally starting a new chapter in her life. She had a busy 2021 and her 2022 started out rough but things are looking up and she’s doing well.
