Padma Lakshmi Reveals Why Gaining Weight Has Its Perks

The #TopChef host shows us why a few extra pounds can be a good thing. 

By Jordan Upmalis

If there’s one thing we know about Padma Lakshmi, it’s that she keeps it real. Not only is she confident enough to show off her banging bikini bod, the Top Chef host is also honest about her weight, admitting that it definitely fluctuates (especially during the season). Ever the optimist, Padma took to social media to remind us that packing on a couple pounds has its perks — literally.

How to Watch
