“Honor God with your body,” she’s heard saying on one of her early motivational tapes. Shamblin Lara held her adherents rapt at the Remnant Fellowship Church, a religious congregation that grew out of her weight loss teachings. Raised in the ultra-strict Church of Christ, Shamblin struck gold in the early ’80s when she linked a fairly unsophisticated weight-loss scheme - basically, that you shouldn’t eat food until you hear your stomach growling, and then control your portion sizes - with Biblical teachings. But footage of her deposition in the case of 8-year-old Josef Smith’s death is shown in the documentary’s first episode, which then rewinds to explore the beginnings of Shamblin’s rise to cult leadership. Shamblin - who became Gwen Shamblin Lara when she married in 2018 - was not around to be interviewed for the doc, as she and several other church members died in a small plane crash this past May. *MAC*, APĪccording to the film, Shamblin had begun preaching stringent discipline in all areas of life, not just eating - including reportedly encouraging parents to beat their children with glue sticks, which didn’t leave marks, if they misbehaved. (The church issued a statement saying it “categorically denies the absurd, defamatory statements and accusations made in this documentary.”) As a writer and lecturer, dietician Gwen Shamblin Lara gained a devoted following in the 1980s.

HBO Max‘s “The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin,” the first three episodes of which debut today, follows the rise and fall of Shamblin’s Remnant Fellowship Church, which has been called a cult and implicated in the death of at least one child. As her power and influence grew, so did her hairstyle - into a vertiginous tower of frosted blonde. But her program, the “Weigh Down Workshop,” had a religious connection that would electrify her followers - and propel her to start her own creepily insular and dangerously restrictive church, according to a new docuseries. Natalie didn't want to exercise because that makes her face look tired.In the 1980s, Tennessee dietitian Gwen Shamblin might have seemed like just one of countless purveyors of schemes to lose weight. That expert helped her drop 30 pounds within three months. She recently had an Instagram live session with a fitness coach, Jeyran Dursunova. However, after filming 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 6, Natalie took some drastic steps to get rid of several pounds, just like Andrew Kenton did. Some fans also noted her fuller curves when she posted cooking videos to her YouTube channel. In the latest episode of Happily Ever After?, Natalie's new look attracted attention. While replying to a fan, Natalie said that stress led her to overindulge.

So, fans guessed that she looked different due to pregnancy weight gain. In the earlier season, the Ukrainian told Mike that she wanted to have a baby soon. Natalie gained weight due to stress and because her body appeared curvier, some franchise fans speculated that she might be pregnant. However, some 90 Day Fiancé fans noticed that she started looking different after a few episodes. Natalie was model-slim when she first arrived in Sequim, Washington. Most of the time, she was either cooking dinner or washing the dishes. Many viewers also remember that Natalie always kept herself active by doing household chores. The former model ate a raw carrot for breakfast. He made her pancakes, which was an adorable gesture, but not exactly the kind of food she wanted to eat. She was upset to see that Mike Youngquist didn't stock his kitchen with the right ingredients before she arrived in the United States. On 90 Day Fiancé season 8, viewers learned that Natalie likes to stay fit by eating healthy food. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans are amazed to see Natalie Mordovtseva's attractive new look, and we're here to talk about her physical transformation after filming 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? She is now showing off her slimmer and sexier side in her latest pictures and getting lots of attention from her fans (yes, some are single guys).
