Few know that this dark beauty and one of the most successful women in the world was once overweight. She had confessed that this was due to her eating disorder due to underlying depression. The result was a fat, ungainly Oprah who was shy of stepping out in the public and suffered from low self esteem. Oprah took a firm decision to lose weight after her doctor warned her of dire health problems if she continued to carry so much of weight around. She made full commitment to lose weight and signed a contract with herself stating that she will follow her diet program and today boasts of a fit and toned body.Here is what she did to look ravishing even at the age of 50.
- No to any food that’s white- Oprah gave up anything that looked white in her diet. This included flour, potatoes and sugar. All these are common in processed food such as bread.
- Oprah hired Bob Greene, her personal trainer who helped her shed all those extra pounds by constantly motivating her, pushing her to go the extra mile on the tread mill and warning her off the calories in food. He did not just advice her on losing weight but also about maintaining it and Oprah had the will to follow it.
- Athletic- she runs marathon, and stays fit through strength training, cardio and Pilates.
- She suffered from a lot of emotional upheaval and termed that as the cause of her habit to over eat. She worked through her emotional baggage and was finally able to overcome the habit to binge when it came to food.
- No alcohol- She was smart enough to realize that consumption of alcohol will only disrupt her weight loss program and controlled the urge to drink.
- She stopped eating after a set of time. Post dinner and snacking in between meals were avoided.
- Water- she increased her intake of water and drank lots of it during the course of the day.
