Believe it or not, Oprah is NOT infallible. And she knows it. During a Weight Watchers livestream last week, she said she regretted participating in toxic diet culture over the years.
Quote, “I’ve been a major contributor to it. I cannot tell you how many weight loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television.”
One of her biggest regrets was when she brought 67 pounds of animal fat onstage during “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to demonstrate how much weight she’d lost.
Quote, “It sent a message that starving yourself with a liquid diet set a standard for people watching that I, nor anybody else, could uphold. The very next day, I began to gain the weight back.
“Maya Angelou always said, ‘When you know better, you do better,’ so these conversations for me are an effort to do better.”
