Oprah 's Diet Secret is an all-natural pill
Reprinted from the LA Times
A tiny, "ten-cent pill" is Oprah Winfrey's secret weapon in her war against weight. The talk-show titan - who's lost close to 100 pounds -- swallows a power-packed new diet aid which is hailed by diet and nutrition experts as a surefire way to keep appetite down and energy up.
As part of her ongoing weight-loss program, Spirulina's high protein content helps keep Oprah's blood sugar in line and her sweet tooth under control," an insider reveals.
Made from the bluegreen algae that grows naturally on the surfaces of ponds and lakes, amazing spirulina contains a slew of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that kill hunger pangs and boost energy, say experts.
"Aside from being packed with very highquality protein and virtually all the vitamins and minerals you need, spirulina has phenylalanine, which acts on the brain's appetite center to decrease hunger," says top nutritionist Dr. Earl Mindell.
"Spirulina also keeps blood sugar at the proper level, eliminating those dangerous cravings for unnecessary, unwholesome snacks.
That's the key for Oprah, who admits she used to be hungry all the time, constantly reaching for high-fat goodies.
Her favorites were french fries and butterladen mashed potatoes, maple syrup and rich cakes.
But Oprah vowed 'never again," and today she's a dedicated fitness freak who sticks religiously to a sensible eating and exercise plan.
