Oprah just said on the show today with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen that she is doing the LOW CARB thing!!! She is finally on the bandwagon.
She was talking to them about what the normally eat for breakfast, and she said how much she misses bagels and she normal eats eggs and avacado for breakfast since she is doing the low carb. Anyone else see this??
So Cool, just thought I would share

Great news! Wouldn't it be great if she really cottons on to lowcarbing and makes it her WOE rather than just another diet!

Really? Hopefully that will help.
I think Oprah doing low carb would be a great boost for our way of eating.

Does she not eat oatmeal for breakfast? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

She said she just started doing low carb I hope that she loses a lot. Good for her

I, personally, think it is terrible news.... She - like many of us - has a history of "yo-yo" dieting. I have no confidence that she will follow through, and certainly not as a lifestyle.

If she fails, it just means more crap that we will have to face from the public about Atkins / Low Carb.

I hope she proves me wrong, but I don't think so.

Well she has tried everything else so why not low carb!! She might shock herself & the world by finding this is a great way of eating/living.

Stay tuned!!

If it exposes just one new person who will successfully change their life to this lifestyle then I'd say it's a good thing.

[steady as she goes]

ABOUT BLOODY TIME! I called it when she did her vegan diet cleanse to "fix her thyroid". NO, I said, IT WON'T WORK, I said, and figured she should try low carb.

I hope she does it right and has raging success with it.

What "if" she ruins 10 others?

I know, I am in the minority here, but I think if she fails it could be DEVASTATING for many people.

Papa D, I understand what you're saying. But, I have a history of yo-yo dieting, too.... a lot of us do here. And while I did go off the wagon and regain some weight last year, Atkins has been the only "diet" that I've EVER been this successful on. Even when I'm not perfect... regularly... I know I've "seen the light" and that this IS MY way of eating for life. The freedom from hunger and food is amazing when I'm in the zone -- like nothing I've ever experienced -- the trick is staying there! Perhaps Oprah will see and feel that, too.

Mmm... eggs and avocado for breakfast sounds great.
