Snooki credits her weight loss to diet pill Zantrex, not so much to dieting and exercise

Snooki is looking better than ever these days, having lost a lot of weight over a relatively short period of time. While she’s probably eating healthier and working out more as well, she credits the pounds lost to Zantrex, a diet pill.

In May this year, on the official page of Zantrex were uploaded photos of the diminute reality star leaving a gym with a bottle of the supplement that claims to burn fat and boost energy like no other.

However, in the many interviews she gave since spring, Snooki didn’t once say anything about having had extra help in her fight against the bulge.

She did speak at length, though, about how she was hitting the gym on a regular basis, how she was eating healthier and, above all, how she’d cut down on her alcohol intake.

After a recent public appearance that saw her showered with praise for her newly-svelte body, Snooki is coming clean on Twitter: she did, in fact, rely on Zantrex-3 to lose weight.

“Glad to hear reports that say I look good =) but it’s not because of HCG! Thanks @Zantrex!” she writes, rubbishing reports she was on the HCG diet and it helped her shift the extra pounds.

“One of my followers asked if I was a paid spokesperson for zantrex…yes haven’t you seen the ads in Star?” the star further says.

Zantrex too has confirmed this on their Twitter page, responding to a follower that, “We couldnt have advertised with her if she wasnt :) but she did obviously lose weight:)”

Back in May, Snooki was photographed leaving the gym with a bottle of Zantrex Fat Burner, a few months before she was supposed to come out and say she’d teamed up with the company to lose weight.

That she chose Zantrex-3 to lose weight shouldn’t be a surprise, since the pill has always been very popular with celebrities looking for whatever help they can get in their never-ending fight to be thin.

Even Britney Spears was once photographed clutching a bottle of the pills on her way to her car.
