Doctor Oz had such an inspirational story today of a woman named Bonnie who has been overweight her whole life and has now lost a  lot of weight.  Bonnie was made fun of in elementary school and was called Big Bonnie Balloon Butt… children can be so cruel!  Bonnie said she never felt comfortable in her own skin and she now has a career as an illustrator. 

Bonnie’s Truth Tube Results at her worst:

Waist: 50″

Blood Pressure: 152/94

LDL Cholesterol: 144

Weight: 265 pounds

Real Age: 59 (even though her chronological age at the time was 44)

Two years later, Bonnie looks like a whole new woman!  The before and after was extremely impressive!  Bonnie said she feels stronger and more in control.  She used to be sad and had a sedentary lifestyle.  She has overcome her fears.

Bonnie’s Truth Tube Results Now:

Waist: 29″

Blood Pressure: 128/80

LDL Cholesterol: 115

Weight: 143 pounds (she is half the person she was!)

Real Age: 45 (her chronological age is now 46)

So how did Bonnie do it?  One of her secrets is Freekeh (pronounced like Freekah or Freakah), which is a young durum wheat that is toasted.  She often has it along with fish.  Bonnie also has Mediterranean salads and for breakfast she has greek yogurt topped with nuts, honey and dried fruits.  As a snack, Bonnie eats smoked oysters because they are very low in calories.  I don’t think I can stomach the idea of canned oysters, but then again, I could never eat sardines either… but for those of you who can, apparently smoked oysters taste very yummy!
