Did anyone happen to catch Oprah on 5/1? I didn't actually see the show but I saw this on her website. Anyway, she had a woman on her show who was overweight. She would drink 300 ozs of soda pop per day! Oprah's experts went into the woman's home, went through her cabinets and found that most of the stuff she had were refined carbohydrates and sugary foods. They replaced all of that poison with healthy alternatives. They told her to cut out the sugar, flour, pop, etc. She walked at least 30 minutes, 7 days a week. Of course, she was required to do more cardio and strength training, also. 3 months later, she had lost an amazing 43 pounds!!!

Hi, Yes I saw it. She looked great! I mean what a difference, Wow. What a difference 3 months can make. I can not wait. I hope I can lose that much in 3 months.

Well I just caught a small part of it. The part when they went into the cupboard and pointed out the bad stuff.
I got frustrated and turned the channel. All I saw was the guy saying basically everything was bad.

So what can you eat? Is there any good foods left after that?

That's true about the episode. They should have given some advice on what to eat.

I saw it too. She looked amazing. She just ate healthy food and cut out flour, sugar, and certain kinds of fats. I think it is listed on Oprahs web site.
