What Won't Oprah Eat

Maybe I Should Rephrase That

Instead of What Won't Oprah Eat, I suppose I should say what types of food will Oprah be giving up on her newest diet.

What won't she eat kind of makes her sound like she'd eat just about anything, when she's actually only going on a three week vegan diet. She's also swearing off caffeine, sugar, gluten and alcohol.

What do you think about all of this? Do you think she will succeed? Do you care? Have you ever gone vegan before?

Personally I don't give a rip about Oprah's diets, or what she will and will not eat but from what I could gather, I do think the book she's following has excellent and healthy ideas.

Yes.

miaponzo says:

Sure why not?

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Going vegan is a lot easier when you have cooks and people to bring you food. Of course, she will also have so much temptation.

Jewelsofawe says:

I believe she can be successful, but going vegan is not easy if you have been a meat eater.

spirituality says:

Sure. She can do anything.

No way!

Have You?

Have you ever tried going vegan?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes and I was...

miaponzo says:

Yes, I did macrobiotics for a while :) Excellent!!!!

ana says:

yes, but i didn't know enough at the time (teenager) to have a healthy diet. i didn't eat well and would always feel hungry. i also didn't like to eat salads. i didn't last long being vegan. now, i think i would probably do better because there is so much more information on how to do it right.

Jewelsofawe says:

yes, but more because I had to for my health

No because...

underwoodonline says:

I enjoy eating meat way to much.

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

No, I have done vegetarian. and still will do it for days, sometimes by accident, but not vegan

fefe says:

No. I don't think I ever will either.

spirituality says:

I have trouble enough being a vegetarian. Going totally vegan - no cheese, milk, eggs and no products that contain those ingredients - isn't something I think I can do.

What Do You Feel She's Trying To Accomplish?

Do you think Oprah really wants us all to get healthy with her or do you think she is using this as a means to gain more attention for herself?

Why would Oprah announce her new diet plans with the world?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

She wants everyone to get healthy with her.

miaponzo says:

Could be a publicity stunt, but also she wants to get healthy!

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Well, she is a celebrity, but I don't think she does publicity 'stunts' although she gets and demands a lot of publicity. I think she is sincere about what she does and letting people learn from it.

Jewelsofawe says:

Being healthy and being thinner like all of us.

spirituality says:

To raise awareness of the option of being vegan.

This is just another publicity stunt.

fefe says:

I don't know but I'll go with publicity stunt.

Kanga says:

If you're Oprah, you announce pretty much everything to the world! That's just how her life works. Good luck to her, but I'm not sure these short term diet changes are ever really as beneficial as people hope they will be...

rms says:

Personally, I think this is just another publicity stunt.

    A friend of mine started a life change group (because of Oprah) and at the end took the group to Chicago for the show. They didn't have good seats, but my friend got her attention at the end of the show. She talked to them. She wanted to hear what they had to say and they got to go behind scenes. She said, "I would like a picture of you for my dressing room" My friend was impressed that she didn't ask if they wanted a picture of her. She had her photographer take the picture and sent them. They know that they are in her dressing room.

    I think she is genuine. She is a rare person.

    It makes sense that Oprah would share this with the world: dieting is one of the subjects she's been very open about in her work. It's one of her topics.
