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.

To all of you that are sitting back saying negative judgemental things about Oprah, I would say Examine thine OWN SELF firt, before trying to EXAMINE Oprah and in addition I will leave you with this IMPORTANT quote from St. Matthews 7:1, "JUDGEE YE NOT, THAT YE BE NOT JUDGE. FOR WITH WHAT JUDGEMENT YE JUDGE, YE SHALL BE JUDGE: AND WITH MEASURE YE METE, IT SHALL BE MEASURED TO YOU AGAIN."

honestly, how many times has oprah tried to lose weight and it just came back bigger than ever? This woman cannot diet, or even lose weight for that matter. I beleive she is trying though, but i think it's just going to keep coming back bigger, and bigger, and bigger. I feel bad for her as well, just the fact that she cant lost weight must be tough mentally.

I don't think it's about the food. I think it's about how we feel about ourselves. If we value our body and mind, we will treat ourselves with the respect we deserve.

Hi Oprah, I'm an Australian Clinical Hypnotherapist.I work with clients to help them quit smoking, get rid of anxiety and lose weight. I currently have a practise in Melbourne Victoria. Hypnosis provides a safe, easy, enjoyable way to change unwanted habits. Are you interested in trying it to help you achieve your ideal body weight and shape?. I'm willing to travel to the US.and would be happy to help.I hold a Diploma of Health - Clinical Hypnosis that I completed with the Academy of Hypnotic Science in Australia. And have been practising for seven years.

Today is Dec.19 2008. What more can I say? Opray is up to 200 lbs. I am neither a fan or a hater, we all need to make choices that are right for us and our own well being. "just because" is not a good enough reason.

Oprah doesnt have to look for the cheapest food, because shes got money.
She doesnt have to think, "what shall i have", she has a chef.
She's paid for all sorts of therapies, and put herself forward as a role model, but whos she kidding.
She's no role model to the ordinary person.
Inspite of all this, shes got fat AGAIN, perhaps at heart, shes no different to any one else, but her sin is, she thought she was.

Why would anyone take dieting advice from Oprah? Her weight goes up and down more than Paris Hilton on a d***. Hey maybe next we can learn Amy Winehouse's secrets to kicking a drug habit.

One more thing I forgot to say. There is no "secret" to losing fat. If you consume more calories than your body needs, you'll gain fat even if you're eating nothing but fruits, veggies, and whole grains. If you consume less calories than your body needs, you'll lose fat even if you're eating nothing but fried Snickers bars. The latter is not ideal for obvious reasons, but I'm just making a point.

Sorry, I forgot one other thing. Will some of you please quit writing "dear Oprah" and "hi Oprah" and all that crap. NEWSFLASH!...OPRAH DOES NOT READ ANY OF THIS! Ok, I think I'm done.

for someone in the public eye, she seems to lose and gain all the time..
she can afford a personal trainer, she can afford a chef or a cook to prepare her food..
she brings these 'fad diets" to us..
and we jump on another band wagon
it's been my experience, find a way to change what you do wrong and stick to it..
in the end it's only you looking out for you,
and really you are the one that matters.
