Oprah Winfrey
aired a show which first aired on February 14th, 2005. She
started a boot camp with some of the people that she worked with the
help of Bob Greene’s Total Body Makeover in 12 weeks.
You need to “own
the number”, which means that what you weigh is your responsibility and
you shouldn’t lie to yourself about it and ignore your weight. She also
had the volunteers from her work sign a contract with themselves that
said they will work at losing weight. They agree to eat consciously at
each meal, and eat breakfast every morning. You also will not eat 3
hours before bedtime. Oprah wanted to limit alcohol consumption, where
Bob Greene wants no alcohol consumption for the 12 week period of time.
You should eat
foods that are lean protein. Eat only two fruits a day and unlimited
amounts of green vegetables. Oprah says that you need to stay away from
refined carbs such as white bread, sugar, cakes, and pastries. You need
to avoid fats. For the first 30 days on the diet do not eat any whole
grains. Add the whole grains in slowly after this time period. You
also need to drink 8 ounces of water six times a day.
Part of the plan
includes exercising on a daily basis with one day off each week. Oprah
took her volunteers to the gym and hopped on the treadmill. She
recommended increasing the incline of the treadmill versus just
increasing the speed. The participants were working up a sweat trying
to keep up with her! Oprah also includes weight lifting into her
routine and also includes pilates in her routine. Oprah demonstrated
how to use pilate equipment.
She showed people
that have worked on Bob Greene’s program and following simple changes
that added up to big results. All of the success stories that lost huge
sums of weight exercised often and built up to more and more time. As
their health improved they were able to do more exercise and they lost
the weight. They also made healthy food choices. The weight was lost
over a period of time, and if you have a lot of weight to lose it can
take many months to lose the fat
Oprah stressed how
important the decision that was made by the people that were successful
at losing weight. This decision was the secret to their success. Bob
Greene most important rule is to cut your food off 2 – 3 hours before
bedtime. Oprah sets a specific time each night that she does not eat
anymore food. Bob Greene said that this will help considerably to lose
weight.
She finished the
show with a fashion show of exercise clothing and gave away some fitness
gear for the audience members. Oprah said that you need to use a
pedometer to count 10,000 foot steps each and every day. Measuring your
footsteps will get you moving. She invites you to go to her website at
