Oprah's Diet Secrets

Dear Oprah,

I really love your show. You look great girl, I am trying to lose weight and you are role model.

Why do people worship Oprah? If you want to lose weight put the chips down, turn Oprah off, and go get a job. Oprah is wonderful because she is sucessful? You should take a good hard look at what sucessful people are willing to do to other people to get to where they are. What is her legacy? When she dies what will she leave behind? She will be a distant memory...a rich TV star and that's it. God how we Americans worship our almighty TV's mindlessly. Sorry if I offend I just don't get it, and am content that I do not.

I have been Oprah's fan for years, and i think she is awesome in many ways. BOY!! do i envy how she looks now, with all that weight loss. I'm going to make her my role model and try to shed my blubber too.She looks like she's in her 30's.. Way to go 'O'

Oprah will achieve permanent weight loss only when she permanently reduces the amount she eats. This is impossible to do when you diet every day. Because even if your will-power is strong enough to stick to a daily diet, you will have a constant, lifelong struggle to maintain your weight when you reach your goal. Sooner or later your body will say to you, "Now, it's my turn," and you will regain all the weight you've lost, and then some. Your body is programmed to do this to keep you from starving yourself.

You must reassure your body that you're not trying to starve yourself, so it will go along with you on your plan. Never diet every day; do it every OTHER day. That way, your body has no chance to keep tabs on how many calories you owe it.

Well, Oprah is keeping it off and I am very proud of her. I have started the program she advocates with Bob Greene and it is effective. She has done very well for quite a while now--longer than most people ever would. Give credit where its due!

Oh, and people balance work and TV time in their life. We all have our role models and favorite shows--Oprah happens to be one of many out there. If you dont get why she is a role model for many--you arent paying attention.

Well I guess Opera has such a success with her diet because of the fact she almost eats nothing. I guess her will-power is pretty strong. But I think to have a some ribs is not a bad thing. After all, we are getting old and ugly.

oprah is just another commercial product of the usa.
she just go ther recepie of success right,thats all.the real stars in the world are people like nelson mandela,gandi etc.not a TV talk show host

If it works for her, that's great, and if she can go the rest of her life without eating white rice, flour, sugar, pasta and potatoes, more power to her. Doesn't sound too realistic in the long run.

I love oprah, i believe she was destined to help the world lose weight, without her show and her advice i would be 400 lbs obese young woman, my doctor doesn't even give me great advice like her. she's honest and to the point and very open and shares ideas with other people i give oprah an A++!

It's me again , i forgot to mention that oprah is not over -rated she is what she is !NOT because she's wealthy or famous but because of her character, honesty and caring she shares towards people. i especially loved the show about the colon she brought awareness and helped me with my digestive problems, i think she very admired because she talks about the topics that concern people everyday.

I think people should just be happy for the broad. She lost alot of weight and part of it has to do with the fact that she is loaded. If I had enough money to have a GREAT personal trainer and dietician and yoga instructor and etc. . . I would look like a million bucks too. She mine as well look like her bank account, hell, surpass it!

I think Oprah is amazing and I cant stand people who leave negative comments, jealousy is an ugly ugly thing.... grow up kids...."

ENVY too, is an ugly ugly thing! Negative comments shouldn't be held back from only what you seem to call an 'amazing' person. She's Oprah, a human being, no better than any of us, common get over it!

"Men dig their graves with their own teeth and die more by those fatal instruments than the weapons of their enemies." Thomas Moffett ~ 1590

I just dont understand why ediets has to charge to teach america to be skinny, I dont think it is fair, i mean ... we pay to be fat by buying fatty foods and clogging up our arteries ... we pay for it in high levels of cholesterol... why cant the diet or a partial diet and exercize tips be free.. why does this bob green guy need any more money than he has .. just for teaching us dumb fat people how to eat right, cant people share the knolwedge of how to be normal.... how bout people do ... a what not to eat section rather than there 'what not to wear' and 'what to wear' sections of each year when they catch celebreties wearing ugly clothing...its all consumers/production indrustry... they work together as a conspericey to make people tempted to eat the foods said to be non fat then they come out with all these expensive diets to take more money than they need....

Fat Flush Plan for those who want to detox there bodies (get your liver up and running well so that it can remove all the waste that it has stored up) and follow it with Jorge Cruise's 3-hour gig. The no Whites approach is good for a short time but to really learn how to eat so that your body works with you and not against you. Go for the 3-hour deal... your body will learn that its going to get fed every 3 hours and its impossible to go into starvation mode/store fat if its getting fed every 3 hours yes? Not to mention that if you control your portions there is no need to stay off whites...even though I would recommed it while your on the Fat Flush Plan.

May all beings be free from suffering.

I think Oprah always looked fine. She is a very hard working woman that made it to the top and still climing. She is a row model to all of us women young and old, white or black, or any other race in the world. The fact that she shares her diet with us isn't that enough? who does that? She loves to give and share just about everything that makes her happy or sad. This diet works for those that are willing to make a commitment and stick with it!!! May God keep her safe.

thank u 4 ur secrets i tried denise austin and ellen barrett and it helped so did urs i reached me goals thanxs oprah!

oprah sucks.

i think orpah has a big head and way she wear that hair makes it look bigger.

Oprah is a good woman.She deserves to be treated with respect,just like any other person.Well done oprah.You have my support.

I'm watching Oprah right now and I think Oprah's at her very best! I really envy her and I wish I could do what she's doing. sadly though, I dont have her resourses ( read: funds) :(... oh well.... I still think she's amazing with and without all that weight =)

Oprah is at her best right now. I wish I looked like her. I wish I had a diet... I need to get all this fat (20 lbs) off before summer is over. If you have a diet plan (or diet patch) that works quickly, PLEASE contact me at madddog900@aim.com. I'm desperate. Thanks. =D

look at all the jealousy felt towards Oprah! meghan,kuatree,heather,ashley,kelly and whoever else who talks bad about Oprah, should be Bitch-Slapped. Hell yea she is rich, but thats through her own sheer hardwork,she slimmed down through determination and it will stay. So if you all are just green-eyed and a loner i'm sure, you shouldn't be here, go back to your miserable lives living with your negative-nancy attitude and slothy stink holes, the world would be a better place if you just bury yourself alive..Boo Hoo, go to your mummy.

hi oprah1i'm a 37 yr.old mother of 3.ages 15,14,and 10.i use to be a very busy person teaching fitness and dance classes until i slowly realized that it's not making me happy anymore.in short i stopped cold turkey after 15yrs. of constant teaching and commuti ng from whereever my fitness and dance lesson appointments were for tha day.that is when i started to gain tremendous weight!i am only 5'2 but i weigh about 160 pounds!i have lost all the determination to go back teaching and i can't seem to get mysel to even get rid of this body fat in the way that i know how. diet and exercise.help me pls. oprah. pls.i live all the way here in metromanila philippines and i watch your show 2x on cable everyday!

for everyone who likes to insult Oprah, you all are just jealous that she lost all the weight and you dont have the will power to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oprah looks fabulous, better then most young women and she is twice the age. YOU GO OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oprah is just another woman. She will gain, she will loose weight she will be human. What makes her different from every one else is that she has the money to promote and award herself when she does well. I bet if we all had that much money we would have many publications and whatnot to show off our accomplishments. So, I am proud that Oprah lost the weight, and if she doesn't keep it off, oh well, such is life.

Just because someone avoids refined food like white flour, rice and sugar does NOT mean they are on the Atkins diet. It means they are avoiding refined food which is key to weight loss and maintenance, information that has been around since WAY before Atkins.

I don't watch Oprah, but a friend told me she did a show or made a statement about how dangerous Atkins is. ? But I can't verify that.

And its weird how everyone freaks out if you say one bad thing about Oprah. uumm, people WILL have differing opinions about different things folks. Not everyone is going to love her. As much as I like her, there will be people out there who don't. No skin off my back. And saying she may not keep the weight off this time since she has a HISTORY of gaining it back seems like a logical statement, not an Oprah bashing.

Oprah make too much money to care what we think-

If Oprah didn't care she wouldn't be sharing with the World as much as she does. Did you know that the name Oprah Winfrey was searched, on Google alone, over 1 million times last month? She has at least 22 million viewers (more than 3 times the amount of the Ellen Degeneres Show).

If you ever watched The Oprah Winfrey Show you would know this woman really deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Her Wildest Dream's shows make me want to be a better person day by day.

People, let's make this Oprah diet blog the best by sharing information about the new books and "diets" she recommends.

Today's rerun was very informative. I'm going to check out the new Oprah Book Club inclusion, "You, The Owners Manual." The greatest thing is that you can simply go to Oprah's site and she always includes the lists of all recommended foods and diets at no cost whatsoever. So go to Oprah.com before posting about your lack of money, those are excuses we all had in the past. After all, it's human nature. But Oprah is here to show us the different ways. Then, she lets us make our own decision based on her dream team's outstanding research and daily show tips.

The one Oprah health expert who changed my outlook on dieting is Dr. Nicholas Perricone (The Wrinkle Cure & The Perricone Prescription NY Times bestselling author). He is the PBS expert who explains the mind beauty connection. A real scientific clarification of the saying "you are what you eat."

Remember, all the information about Dr. Perricone's Super Foods, weight loss, and anti-aging advice is easily found on her site.

In the attempt of trying to help others who have been struggling with weight loss I've put together a special health education website. Watch a 2 minutes flash presentation featuring the #1 Superfood and World's most powerful antioxidant, Acai Berry, as recommended by Dr. Perricone in his lastest best-seller Perricone Promise. FREE. Just click on my name above. ENJOY.

I also believe that is has a lot to do with the money she has. If I could afford a personal trainer I'd look hot too :P

DEAR OPRAH,LOVE YA! I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED YOUR BEAUTIFUL,YOUNG,YOUNG,LOVLEY,YOUNG PRETTY,ATTRACTIVE, YOUNG AUDIANCE. I KNOW YOU KNOW ABOUT US,THE OLDER,BEAUTIFUL NOT SO BEAUTIFUL,NOT AS PRETTY, LARGER OR SMALLER,AND THE JUST RIGHT PEOPLE ,BUT OLDER PEOPLE. ARE WE SIMPLY NOT THE CHOOSEN ONES TO TAKE PART IN YOUR WONDERFUL AUDIANCE BECAUSE OLDER PEOPLE DO NOT ATTRACT VIEWERS AS THE YOUNGEN DO? STILL LOVE YA,LIL

ONE POST ASKS OR I SHOULD SAY TELLS US OPRAH WILL BE REMEMBERED AS A RICH TV STAR. I WILL REMEMBER HER ANGEL NETWORK. ONCE OPRAH ASKED SOMEONE ON HER SHOW IF THEY ALWAYS KNEW THEY WERE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SAID BUT I WAS AMAZED TO HEAR OPRAH SAY SHE ALWAYS KNEW THAT SHE WAS. I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO BIG AN EGO AND SOMEONE SHOULD ASK HER WHY SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS SO WONDERFUL. FAMOUS, POPULAR, YES ,BUT DESTINED FOR GREATNESS LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING FOR EXAMPLE? HE WAS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. NOW YEARS LATER I WOULD NOT GET SO ANGERED BY HER STATEMENT BECAUSE OF THE ANGEL NETWORK. SHE DOES SO MUCH GOOD WITH THAT CHARITY.MAYBE THE PERSON WHO POSTED DOES NOT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT OPRAH. SHE IS FAR FROM PERFECT BUT WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE HER?

I also have to do a prodject on Oprah's diet. I have looked at the rules on this diet and because of some extensive research I have come to find out that you don't have to eat like that. It is extremely healthy to eat like that but you can eat rice etc. but it needs to be in moderation. I am overweight but I have lost 20 pounds already by eating the things i want, but in moderation.I look up to Oprah's will and determination to continue this diet because I know i could never do that. I would miss the other foods too much.

hey ed. have you ever stopped to think about all of the things that oprah has done for people. she is like a modern day Ghandi. she may not have liberated an entire country but she is a good person that does a lot of things for a lot of people.

Hi OPRAH,

You're such an inspiration and I wish to congratulate you on your weight loss.Your boot camp has inspired me a lot.Whenver I feel down and obese,I visit your site,it's like an energy booster.

I'm proudly South African,and blessed to be part of this generation.You go Girl!!!1

Love
CORAH

I have been watching Oprah for years and have seen her gain a lot weight and loose a lot of weight. I give her a lot of credit, but she does have a lot of help with personal trainers and a personal chef. If I had that I would probably be able to loose the weight I gained with my children too.

Hi Oprah

I think you just great. I cant wait for your programmes at night, the only time of the day i watch tv. You amazing, i just like everything about you. I am a South African and cant wait for the day you gonna come vist South Africa. You very good to people and i think that your diet programme is one of the best. You go Girl, Love Neesa

Oprah you just great, I adore you, since my childhood. The first time I show you: when you make an interview with michael jackson, you sit in his playing ground - abre foot and make an interview. Until now I am 39 years old, I realize 'the Strong will' in your self, the only reason you could lose your weight!! Good job Oprah. Love You!!!

Dear oprah,

You are a great woman. Thank you for saving many Americans from so many diseases that result from overweight. I think all Americans should be thankful. Oprah,it is not only Americans who should be thankful but you have inspired everyone in one way or another.
love you Oprah.

Oprah is ok, but dr. phil is highly irritating. Oprah has enough money to hopefully have an army of "food slappers" around to slap the chips out of her hands when she's naughty. chips and dip. oprah and phil.
