Oprah's Diet Secrets

Extra: Oprah Winfrey eats no white bread, white rice, flour, sugar, pasta, and potatoes. Whole wheat pasta and breads are okay, but in moderation. No alcohol, and two fruit per day. Her big secret is weight resistance training.

Oprah has had one-on-one training with Bob Greene - a trainer that includes both strength and cardio training. Bob Greene has packaged his program up into a book called The Best Life Diet.

The Best Life Diet introduces gradual changes to the diet - even going as far as listing a weeks worth of Oprah's eating plan.

Oprah has inspired everyone in one way or another. She is a true American icon. I can only wish her the best of luck with her new diet. Either way Oprah as definately made a true positive influence on the WORLD!!!!

Why do Americans thrive on being rude and unruly. If you did some observation you will see that we (Americans) are always ready to fight and discredit our own.

I remember one of Oprah shows when she put down Dr. Atkin Diet vs the Low Fat Diet,, and now she adopted Atkins Diet in a way or another by not eating whites" sugar, white bread, potatoes, rice" !!!

You are right Raja..I remember that show..when she said ""we are in 21 century,,we dont diet anymore!!!""

The thing about Atkins diet is that it is not practical, and not healthy in a long run. I believe that too much of anything is bad for you. But I also believe that cutting down on those whites is way healthier than avoiding fats; especially good ones (from avocadoes, and fish).

The tongue writes your life. If you are intelligent enough to know what that means...as for others....let me break it down. God hear, sees and knows all things and don't even think about being foolish enough to not believe he exists. Anyways, some of these comments are absolutely ignorant! Do you really think you are an intelligent human being by saying some of these things?? Oh, I get it....you must be special. We will excuse you if that's the case.

Oprah has inspired many people. She is not perfect, but she is a positive, loving American who has done a lot for her fans. She has taught us all and is what talk show TV is all about. Her weightloss plan is the best advice I have heard and is obviously working. Oprah is not only thin, she has a definite glow and beauty. She has inspired me to change my weightloss goals when no one else could. Just look at her!

In my opinion Oprah is a wonderful woman who has used her wealth to help soooo many people. Not only with money but with her heart.I think her weight problems only proved that she has issues just like the rest of us.With all that money she has, she could have easily got surgery to remove the weight just like so many other rich people do. Oprah is one of the realest celebrities I know of. One of the biggest reasons why I love her so much is because she isn't afraid to be shown on t.v without make up on. lol. She truly deserves everything she has!

I think she looks great!!!! Oprah has helped me in more ways then one. I was ready to give up on being overweight yet hating the way I look and feel. Watching Oprah nightly has given me hope again along with a drive to to lose weight. She realy is a great roll model in fact the only roll model on TV that truly inspirers me. She has a true and giving heart. Thank you Oprah.

Dear Kuatree, you must be a racist nut...who even mentioned race you idiot? And furthermore you are just jealous of a really intelligent sweet woman who has a big heart and wants everyone of all races to be happy and successful! She reaches out to EVERYONE even people like you! I'll bet Oprah would never say such a nasty thing about YOU!!! You need a little of what another great humanitarian, Bill Cosby, has been talking about...reprogramming!!

Get over it!

It is a same people continue to knock her down. Either she is too fat, too skinny, not black enough or too white. When are you people going to grow-up! She has proven she is not perfect, she is human. Some need to look into the mirror and evaluate their own short comings before cutting down another. I think she looks great and I wish her luck. Keeping weight off is a struggle for anyone,I can't imagine how hard it is for someone who is being watched ALL the time.

Get over it!

Dear Kuatree.....I think that is the most immature comment to date! Why does it matter if she is for white or black people? I think Oprah is just for the HUMAN RACE, as well we should all be. Who is the racist here? Your type of thinking is what keeps racisim alive.

I think Oprah looks great! And lets stop the judging of one another on looks and how much we weigh. Im proud of her that she didnt give up after she gained the weight back..she just got back on track. That's Awesome..and people judge and talk negative about Anna Nicole Smith as well..but Im proud of her to. I think she is beautiful! She was always pretty regardless of the weight but now she is breath taking... THIS IS TO OPRAH AND ANNA ...U GO GIRLS!!!!!!!

I think oprah looks fab...it take alot of inner strength to want to change the exterior. we become so deep into the pain of being over weight that someitmes food becomes our comfort.
if we dont work on the inner side and get to the root of our probelm, then we are never going to be happy in us...lets face it we really are what we eat

I dont think that Oprah actually is on the Atkins diet, I think she just is doing what she feels is right for her body. I respect that.. I can completely understand where that would work. I am going to give it a try. She is an awesome lady..

Oprah, you are a DIVA. I have been on so many diets, even had my mouth wired. But if you don't change you ways of eating, thinking and exercising you will put the weight back on plus extra. I really wants to be healthy and seventy five pounds lighter.

To those of you stating.."this is the 21st century we don't diet." and "She is just gonna gain it back," Come on!!! Any excuse left to NOT lose weight???
America is obese....and the reason being? too much TV...too many procrastinators, and too many excuses to hide behind.

Dear Oprah,
I think that you look just fabulos, and I admire
you very much! I just turned 79 years old last
week, and just love to watch your programs, especially the Oprah's favorite things, the one
you had for teachers, and pregnant mothers!
After seeing those programs, I wondered if you ever thought of having a just for seniors ones.
Seems like we seniors might deserve a turn, what do you think?Would you kindly let me know by EMail? One of your favorite fans! Beverly

Dear Oprah,

Believe it or not but I've never watch a single of your programme and I'm 41. But since moving to Hong Kong, I've had the opportunity to catch it once and since then I'm an ardent fan. I've found a great motivator in my quest of losing weight. Since my first Oprah show 2 months ago, I've lost 10 lbs and looking younger !! I've learnt to make time for myself and indulge once in awhile on those non-surgical face lift. Thanks Oprah and all your great guests.
