Naturi Naughton gave birth to her second child, son Tru, in 2022. She has since noted how she had been changed as a result of the birth and the months that followed and how she was now different in her body and her self-esteem. The actress now discusses her physical and mental transformation after losing almost 30 pounds.

In an interview with People, Naturi Naughton said that she was not herself after giving birth. She added that the NAACP Image Awards at the beginning of 2025 was one of the most significant moments in her life. Even though she was the winner, she claimed that she did not like the way she appeared that night.

According to Naturi Naughton, she desired to alter her food, physical and self-care practices. This decision marked the start of her 9 months of fitness that allowed her to feel more fit and younger.

Naturi Naughton’s postpartum journey

After giving birth in 2022, Naturi Naughton said it took time to reconnect with her body. She shared that she did not feel confident in her clothes.

She said, “I just really didn't feel as confident in my clothes, in my dress and in my own skin in a way.”

This feeling pushed her to think differently about her health. She explained that her winning night at the NAACP Image Awards brought these feelings into focus. She said she wanted to feel beautiful in a new way.

“I was like, ‘I'm going to have to eat and workout differently, try different things.’”

She added that she was ready to push herself because she wanted “true results.” Naturi Naughton also said it was not about thinking she looked bad. She simply wanted to feel better.

She noted, “It wasn't that I didn't believe I looked beautiful that night. I wanted to feel beautiful in a different way.”

Family support helped her stay motivated. Her husband, Two Lewis, and her children began to notice her progress.

She shared, “As someone who's had two children, I know that… it was more like taking back control of my body and taking back control of how I feel in my own skin.”

Her transformation and mental shift

Naturi Naughton said her journey was more mental than physical. She described her goal as an “elevation” of herself.

She explained, “I feel like yes, my physical may look different to some people, but I'm the same girl, just elevated.”

Within nine months, she had lost nearly 30kg, modified her diet and made herself stronger. She even added that her family participated in her workouts, which motivated her. She even had to cope with emotional losses brought about by social media comments. She added that these remarks were at times a distraction to her, yet she was able to learn to focus on her own objectives.

Naughton said, “I know the version of me that I'm happy with… and I really don't care what anybody else says.” She explained that weight loss begins in the mind. She said, “It is literally a mental shift because losing weight is changing your mindset first.”

Her transformation made her feel powerful.

She said, “With the change and the weight loss… I felt that I was some kind of superwoman.” She also shared that she feels more energetic now, saying, “I feel young again, to be honest.”

She encouraged others to stay consistent and true to their goals.
