NeNe Leakes On A Strict Fast Following Husband's Passing: 'I Can't Eat Until After 6 PM'

NeNe Leakes just opened a new entertainment lounge, but she couldn't enjoy the food at the launch party.

Leakes is still grieving the death of her husband Gregg Leakes after he succumbed to cancer earlier this month. However, she is back into the business and just launched The Linnethia Lounge, her new entertainment lounge and restaurant, Page Six reported.

Several celebrities attended the gathering including Lamar Odom and "RHOA" stars Cynthia Bailey, Drew Sidora and Marlo Hampton. In a post, she thanked them for giving her love and support amid her new venture.

"Thanks to all of you that are coming out showing love & dropping off gifts! I love you and I love the gifts!" she wrote. "Please work with me as I be [sic] having highs & lows! Trying to adjust to my new normal so I may not always be present at the moment."

She continued, "Thanks to all of the chefs that are reaching out wanting to cook for me! Trust me I want to eat but I am currently on a fast and can’t eat until after 6 pm daily."

Page Six noted that Leakes is a self-proclaimed snacker. She lost 12 pounds in 2019 after doing minor changes to her diet. At the time, she told Hollywood Life that she would limit the portion of her food consumption.

"I’m not doing anything crazy like doing the elliptical or riding the bike or running," she told the outlet. "I’m not a big eater. But what I started to do, was just have small portions. I feel like I eat about four times a day – four, sometimes five – just nibbling on stuff, and I feel really satisfied."

Leakes shared earlier how she dealt with the grieving process. According to her, she distracts herself by staying with the people dear to her and by trying out different styles.

"So I played in dark hair long enough. Now that I’m having to adjust to my new life. My new normal, I thought I’d go back to blonde," she said on Instagram about her new locks. "I have a whole group of people that’s coming to my house everyday doing different stuff with me. ... Trying to keep my mind off of… you know. Events that recently happened. Love you guys. I’m OK and I’m pushing through."

Leakes has been sharing throwback photos and videos with Gregg on Instagram. In one post, she shared a video of her kissing and hugging her late husband.

"My first Sunday without you Gregg! The struggle is real [prayer and heart emojis] Our circle was always full of love," she wrote. "I love our videos! Create memories while you can #casaleakesholidays."
