Who better to model Doja Cat's new clothing collaboration collection with PrettyLittleThing than the singer herself? The body confidence icon stripped down and celebrated her natural but "Juicy" curves—and seriously flat abs—on social media, sharing an Instagram post of her in a neon green bikini. "This is the beginning of something really special for me and I hope everyone enjoys this creation as much as I do!" Doja, 25, said in a press statement. "A beautiful pop of color for summer and wearable pieces for all year round." In honor of the performer's new launch, read on to hear 5 things she has said about self-love—and to see the striking bikini look with which she's launched the new line. 1 She Is All About Self Acceptance PrettyLittleThing x Doja Cat / Sasha SamsonovaThis image from PrettyLittleThing x Doja Cat says it all. "I don't need to be like anyone else but myself," she one told Crack. "That sounds so corny, but there were times where I felt like a baby duck, just doing what the momma duck did. I took my own leap of faith." The new clothing collection features, according to PrettyLittleThing, "transitional pieces to change up your mood" and encourages you to "serve body in curve clinging silhouettes, make them look twice in barely-there sheer pieces and live your bad girl realness in lashings of leather." 2 She Feels On Top of the World When Wearing Certain Items Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for RCAShe is insecure about one body part in particular, but has found a piece of clothing that helps her flaunt her assets with pride. "I struggle a lot because I have a really fat [behind] and nothing else on my body matches it," she told Crack. "It's like I've stolen someone else's lower half. If I find pants that hug everything and act as Spanx…I'm on top of the world." 3 She Has Suffered From Body Dysmorphia Photo by Steven Ferdman/Getty Images for TIDALIn an interview with Cosmopolitan Middle East, Doja revealed that she has battled body image issues her whole life. "Growing up, I definitely had body dysmorphia. Without a doubt. And I've had it since. It started in my teens, which I think is where it starts for a lot of people. I started really growing and I never really thought I looked good in a lot of the stuff I wore," she said. 4 "Juicy" Was Therapeutic for Her Photo by Getty Images/Getty Images for SHEINDoja's music has helped her with self-acceptance. "I feel like that song [Juicy] was therapeutic for me. I kind of made it for myself – well, the meaning behind it, at least. I was kind of doing it for my own happiness and I feel like other people can definitely pull some joy from that, too," she said in the same interview. "Now, I just try to focus on eating well, but I definitely still struggle with body dysmorphia a bit now. But I think that's to be completely expected when there's all these phones in your face, right?" 5 She Said She Has Never Had Plastic Surgery NEW YORK, NEW YORK – NOVEMBER 08: (EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE) Doja Cat visits SiriusXM Studios on November 08, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Steven Ferdman/Getty Images)"No, no, no!" she told VladTV during an interview when asked if she had—or would consider getting plastic surgery. "I wouldn't get my lips done, I wouldn't get my nose done," she added. She also revealed that she had experienced a bunch of unwanted criticism about her breasts after wearing a chain bikini top on Instagram. "It hurt my feelings of course" but she says she doesn't care.

Have you ever felt hungry just a few hours after engorging in a calorie-rich meal? According to new research, there's a key reason why that's happening, and it has nothing to with your cravings—your blood sugar levels may be to blame.A new study from PREDICT, aka the largest ongoing nutritional research program in the world, recently published in the journal Nature Metabolism examined why some people struggle to lose weight, even when they're following calorie-controlled diets.Researchers collected exhaustive data on blood sugar responses (and other markers for health) from nearly 1,100 people after they ate standardized breakfasts and meals of their choosing for two weeks. In total, the team of researchers examined more than 8,000 breakfasts and 70,000 meals in total. The standard breakfasts included muffins containing the same amount of calories, however, they had varying protein, carbs, fat, and fiber contents. (Related: The 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now).The participants wore stick-on continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to measure their blood sugar levels during the two-week period so researchers could see how well their bodies process sugar. They even wore a device that monitored their levels during the day while they were active and at night while they were sleeping. Finally, participants were asked to record when they felt feelings of hunger and alertness using a phone app in tandem with notes on what they ate (and when) throughout the day.While past studies have primarily analyzed fluctuations in blood sugar during the first two hours after a meal, referred to as the blood sugar peak, the team of researchers for this study found significant dips in blood sugar actually occurred within two to four hours after that initial peak. Those who experienced the most significant dips (known as the big dippers) had a 9% increase in hunger and waited about 30 minutes less than little dippers before having their next meal, despite having consumed the exact same meals. Big dippers also ate 75 more calories in the three-to-four-hour window after breakfast and an estimated 312 calories more over the whole day than little dippers. "It has long been suspected that blood sugar levels play an important role in controlling hunger, but the results from previous studies have been inconclusive," Dr. Sarah Berry, study author and researcher from King's College in London said in a statement."We've now shown that sugar dips are a better predictor of hunger and subsequent calorie intake than the initial blood sugar peak response after eating, changing how we think about the relationship between blood sugar levels and the food we eat."The study found no correlation between age, body weight, or BMI between big and little dippers, however, males tended to have slightly larger dips than females. It truly comes down to knowing your own metabolism. Essentially, understanding how your blood sugar levels fluctuate after eating meals can help you choose the foods that will help keep blood sugar levels stable so that you stay full for longer.For example, if you're someone who likes to eat granola in the morning, but you always find yourself starving by 11:30 am, consider opting for foods with a lower glycemic index that won't cause your blood sugar levels to rise and fall as quickly. Low GI breakfast foods include low-fat or Greek yogurt with nuts and fruit as well as whole wheat tortillas with peanut butter and a sprinkle of raisins.For more, be sure to check out Foods That Increase Your Diabetes Risk, Says Expert.
