NeNe Leakes Reveals Her One Essential Diet Secret

NeNe Leakes is one busy woman. Between Broadway and Vegas, a budding clothing line, not to mention being a Glam'Ma, it's safe to say that the Real Housewives of Atlanta firecracker doesn't have a whole lot of down time.

So how does she keep her 5'10'' figure looking fabulous? Hint: it's not in the gym.

"I'm not an exerciser," she explains. For her—it's all about portion control. "I never order entrees at restaurants—only appetizers." As for temptations at her house? That isn't a problem, either. "If I keep a snack in the house, I'll eat one little bite and throw the rest in the trash."

RHOA has provided NeNe with countless opportunities personally and professionally, but another thing it's also earned her is countless haters. Her reasoning on why her castmates may not be fond of her? Simple. "They're absolutely jealous," she explains. "No ifs, ands or buts about that. The show has opened up many doors for me, but it has a negative side."

Still, NeNe doesn't plan on leaving TV any time soon. "I'd love a spin-off or talk show," she says. "Five years down the road, I hope my entrepreneurness is in full bloom. I want to retire young!"
