OlderOprah Goes Vegan!
Oprah Winfrey is going vegan for a 21-day detox plan, inspired by Kathy Freston’s book “Quantum Wellness”.
Oprah and three pals from her production company will be swearing off meat, caffeine, sugar, gluten and alcohol. You can follow Oprah’s journey at her blog on Oprah.com.
“This 21-day cleanse gives me a chance to think about [eating] differently and see what my attachments are to certain kinds of foods – and what I’m willing to do to change,” she wrote on Sunday (day one). “Don’t know if I’m going to feel better or worse, but I’m willing to try to see if my body at least feels differently.”
“Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying.” she added on day two. “I had been focused on what I had to give up — sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese. ‘What’s left?’ I thought. Apparently a lot. I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast — strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes.”

I never believe in dieting. I believe in moderation. Dieting has always had a temporary effect on people who has weight issues. They will always go back to their original weight, and much more. Moderation, and regular exercise is always the best.
The article should have read, “Oprah goes for va jay jay”, since she hangs out more with Gayle than Stedman.
how come she doesn’t have brad and angie on her show?
Brad and Angie REFUSE to be on her show again because Oprah sided with Jen A. after their divorce!!
who cares!!! I don’t like Oprah, she promotes so much
pseudo-science… that’s bad!
Oprah’s weight is like a yoyo - up then down, up again, down again . It’s been like this ever since I can remember.
She has aged, so her metabolic rate has proportionately slowed down. Nothing new there, nor this so-called “program”. Still, she’s got money to spend, so go for it.
Like the ones before this, her weight will go down, then slowly go up again. Each time this happens, her self esteem goes down further.
Yes, she looses and gains. but I don’t think her self esteem goes up and down like with us, mere mortals. With her billions, mass appeal and influence I am sure it is sky high….Cravings are not always related to self esteem.
Our ancestors would have become extinct on a vegan diet. It’s not natural. Humans are omnivores for a reason…our biology requires a wide variety of nutrients and sources of amino acids. I think the vegans I’ve met look pale, anemic and kinda frail, not exactly vibrant and healthy.
And how come we are all got to get “detoxified”? Our liver does that for us, not fiber. Poop is poop…psuedo science is the correct term for sure. Lotta people making a good living pushing this junk science.
The live detoxifies our bodies, not a vegan diet. We are omnivores and need a variety of meat and plant nutrients to be healthy and full of energy. Human beings back in pre-historic times would have become extinct on a vegan diet.
Vegans look thin, frail, pale and undernourished in my opinion. MOst of them are anemic.
ohhh…yeah I hope they boycott her then…she’s not a god but she acts like one…
To Not Me #32 - Age and metabolic rate are directly proportional, although regular exercise and good eating habits help stimulates metabolic rate. Money can make you feel good - that’s for sure but not always, and for the most part, money’s effect is temporal and they do not always go up together.
Like the rest of us mortals, Oprah through the same stresses.
I always laugh at movie stars/celebrity’s when they have these strict diets, Oprah now included. Do you actually think she made those crepes? NO WAY! They all have cooks/chefs/dieticians who prepare all their meals so don’t be fooled. If we all had these nutritionists/chefs at our disposal we could all try these ways of eating. But the truth is it is not easy, and takes lots of discipline. So Oprah, give every American a vegan chef and we’ll all try it!
She sure has stirred some hatred towards her after getting into religion. I wouldn’t say I hate her, that’s just exaggerated, but I don’t agree with her point of view at all.
On the other hand, wow huney, not even sugar? :P
I think this is great! The diet she is on is actually really easy. Once you make the realization of what exactly it is you are putting into your body, corpses and excretions aren’t so appetizing any more.
I hope she takes the 21 day thing and turns it into a lifestyle, and I hope that 20 million housewives do the same.
Go Oprah!
um , im glad shes doing this , i got very ill when i was 19 years of age , and found that a vegan diet works best for me to keep the pain at bay , i find it easy to find alternatives to meat and dairy , maybe im lucky that i have 2 wholefood shops in my town which sell things like chatin chicken , cheetin turkey , chatin ham and bacon , and soya and rice milks , soya cheeses etc etc , i supose its just up to the big supermarkets to get more of this produce on their shelves , for ages , there was just the soya and sometimes rice milks , but i heard from a friend the other day that one is selling dairy free cheese now , so its really up to all shops to offer these alternatives is a thought
this video would most resemble my feelings about what the vegan diet can do to transform a person from sickness to a state of growing contented welbeing http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=279bk17damg
