Oprah finally controls weight (with low-carb diet)
http://www.winning-weight-loss-progr...frey-diet.html
Quoting directly from a news story on the Oprah Winfrey diet: "I just eat smaller portions, and I still watch the refined carbohydrates. I favor fish, chicken, fruit, vegetables and lots of soups. And I don't eat after 7:30 p.m. Not even a grape." An important diet discovery on the Oprah weight loss journey was that she benefited greatly from cutting out refined carbohydrates; white bread, white rice, flower, sugar, pasta and potatoes. She will eat whole wheat breads and pasta, but only in moderation. **** So after a lifetime of unsuccessfully fighting her weight using every single diet out there, including low-fat/low-calorie, she has actually finally been able to control her weight and she did it primarily by restricting refined carbs. http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/4...5_oprah_ap.jpg But I also notice that while she very loudly trumpetted her past large (and sadly temporary) weight losses, she is not making much noise about how, exactly, she finally succeeded in losing the weight. Could it have something to do with the millions in advertising they get from food and pharmaceutical companies for her magazine and her program? Hmmmmmmm.... TC |

TC http://www2.oprah.com/presents/2005/...at_rules.jhtml What to Eat (and Not) You didn't think there wouldn't be any food rules in Boot Camp, did you? Not to worry-we promise, you'll still manage to feel full and satisfied. Overall, eat lean protein, two fruits a day, and all the green vegetables you want. Keep the fat low (for salad dressing, you can use a little olive oil with lemon and garlic). No alcohol. The main rule: eliminate the white stuff-bread, pasta, potatoes, rice-as well as candy, pastry, cookies, cake. "A few people might get evil on me," Oprah says, knowingly-sugar deprivation can turn even a saint nasty! For the first month, stay away from whole grains (brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat cereals and breads). After that, you can slowly add them back. The other big rule: You must stop eating three hours before bedtime. Do just this, Oprah says, and you'll lose weight. During the 12 weeks, you get to choose three days when you can allow yourself either alcohol (a glass of wine, maybe two; a cocktail) or some refined carbs (one piece of cake, one slice of bread, one bowl of pasta. The key word is one). ----- TC |

Good for her, she didn't fall for atkins and follows recent research and
guidelines based on them. She avoids saturated fats, eats fruits, eats carbohydrates from whole forms and weekly has a few refined treats. Very important also is that she uses physical training, that means sweat folks, and got her diet ideas from her trainer. As shesays, portion control is critical and that means limiting calories. Atkins must be flipping in his grave. |

Atkins must be flipping in his grave. You must not have read "Atkins for life". Excellent book and puts the myths you have just stated to rest. ;-) I assume (hope?) that you're talking about the statement about saturated fat. I'll be so glad when that myth is finally debunked for good. For those of you still afraid of saturated fat, have a look at this article: http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyour...t_sat_fat.html Then there's this excellent article on coconut oil... one of the most saturated fat-laden foods available. http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyour...conut_oil.html Atkins specifically suggests you avoid trans-fats... Some people tend to confuse the two. -- Om. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson |
