Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet weighs in Oprah’s Weight Loss Challenge Participants – 14 Week Weigh In

Best Syndication - Pinon Hills, CA, USA - To start the participants off on the right track, Bob Greene coached them on eating and exercising at Cal-a-Vie Spa in San Diego. I thought it was a bit excessive on the exercise, but since they were on vacation, I guess they had plenty of time to do this. The women were allowed 1,500 calories each day for food, while Bill got 1,800 calories. They hiked ups hills, did Tai Chi, worked out in the gym, did power walking, dancing, an obstacle course and the hit a punching bag. So they were kept extremely busy during their spa boot camp.

Bob Greene sat down with each of the participants to discuss what emotional reasons that may have caused them to overeat. He feels that if anyone is excessively overweight there is an emotional problem underlying in every case.

Barb was told on the beginning of this program that she would have to quit smoking. She did and quit when Oprah said that she had to quit. Bob Greene said that you should quit smoking first, because of health reasons, and once you quit smoking you can just end up gaining weight. So take care of the worst problem first, which is to quit smoking. Oprah had her tested for nicotine in her system and the results were announced on the show that she has been nicotine free.
