Jenna Jameson Says She 'Upped' Her Calories in Order to Gain Weight in Her 'Thighs and Booty'

Jenna Jameson is sharing another look at how she follows the keto diet.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the former adult film star said that she had recently “upped” her calorie intake in order to gain weight in her thighs.

“It is absolutely possible to gain weight in your thighs and booty without getting a thick midsection,” Jameson, 45, wrote. “Lately I’ve upped my calories just to run a test. I love how I look with thick thighs but despise feeling a muffin top!”

“So I began eating a lot and not restricting my caloric intake,” she continued. “It absolutely worked. My thighs and hips have made themselves known 😆 I avoided tummy bloat by not indulging in unneeded sugar, wasteful carbs and fast food.”

The mother of three also added another tip, sharing that she does her sit-ups and other ab workouts in bed rather than on the floor.

It is absolutely possible to gain weight in your thighs and booty without getting a thick midsection. Lately I’ve upped my calories just to run a test. I love how I look with thick thighs but despise feeling a muffin top! So I began eating a lot and not restricting my caloric intake. It absolutely worked. My thighs and hips have made themselves known 😆 I avoided tummy bloat by not indulging in unneeded sugar, wasteful carbs and fast food. Here’s a little mom hack also. I do sit-ups in bed! I have a bad back and I struggle doing normal crunches on the floor, so when Batel naps... I do leg raises and crunches in bed and it saves the pain on my sacrum and lower back! Moral of the story... super skinny isn’t goals. Healthy well fed bodies are!!!! #keto #ketotransformation #mombod #thickthighs #ketodiet #ketolife

Jameson started the keto diet in March 2018 as a last-ditch effort to lose the baby weight that stuck around for over a year after giving birth to Batel. She’s since lost around 80 lbs., and recently shared her top tips for keto beginners.

Jameson advised cleaning out the refrigerator and pantry to “get rid of everything processed, high in carbohydrates [and] high in sugar.” She also told her followers to pay attention to food labels and exercise patience, because “everyone’s body reacts differently.”

The number one question I get asked is “How do I start a #keto lifestyle” Tip 1 - clean out your refrigerator and cupboards, get rid of everything processed, high in carbohydrates, high in sugar (remember there are many different names for sugar, namely high fructose corn syrup) Tip 2- Go shopping! This is the fun part! My number one recommendation for grocery shopping is to shop the perimeter and not the isles. Green leafy veggies, grass fed steaks, wild salmon. Eggs and real butter are your friend. Tip 3- discuss your lifestyle change with your household and get them on board! You all can benefit from it! I usually make a side of brown rice or pasta for my toddler. If your significant other doesn’t want to participate, ask them to respect your wants and needs and to not try to break your willpower. 4- Have a sunny outlook! This shouldn’t be torture. Focus on how you’re now treating your body right and be proud! 5- be in it for the long haul. Keto is sustainable and will benefit your mind as well as your physique. 6- Follow fellow Keto kings and Queens on IG. My favorite is @ketoguido 7. Be patient... everyone’s body reacts differently. I lost my first 40 lbs ultra quick then plateaued and had to begin #intermittentfasting to break that wall. 8. Don’t fear the #ketoflu , drink plenty of electrolytes, salt your food and get rest! 9. Google is your friend! If you are wondering about carb content... it’s a quick google away. 10. Always... always read labels! You’ll be surprised how many products hide potato starch 👊🏻 also remember my keto favorite snack list on amazon is found by clicking the link in my bio 🥩

In July, Jameson opened up about getting back on track with keto after “losing control and eating like a crazed banshee.”

“We all do it,” she wrote on Instagram, explaining that these lapses happen to everyone at some point. “There are no exceptions. All the health gurus and fitness badasses do it.”

“For me, it comes in the form of wanting to feel my best,” she continued. “I know I’m not perfect and my will power isn’t iron clad, but I DO know I will never give up! It’s important to know that no matter how long you fall off, you can always jump back on the horse!”

Let’s talk jumping back on the wagon after losing control and eating like a crazed banshee. We all do it👏🏻 There are no exceptions. All the health gurus and fitness badasses do it. But how do we get the where with all to begin again? For me, it comes in the form of wanting to feel my best. I know I’m not perfect and my will power isn’t iron clad, but I DO know I will never give up! It’s important to know that no matter how long you fall off, you can always jump back on the horse! It’s ok to feel discouraged, disappointed and down right pissed. Channel that into positivity and know there are so many on this journey right along with you! Love you guys! #beforeandafter #ketotransformation #intermittentfasting #beforeandafterweightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #ketodiet #keto #youcandoit
