Caitlin Van Zandt’s weight loss is rather significant. But the question is: What does Caitlin Van Zandt’s weight loss surgery represent? Is it an example of how to lose weight? Some would say that a lap-band surgery is not something one should consider, unless it is not elective. Others would probably argue that Caitlin Van Zandt’s weight loss of 90 pounds is what matters most, how she lost all that weight does not really matter.

What do I think about Caitlin Van Zandt’s weight loss? I think it is best to let Caitlin speak for herself. “I was the kid on the beach who wore a shirt into the water,” says Guiding Light star Caitlin. That was then, now, one year after her surgery, she says, “This is the first time I felt good enough to say, ‘Here I am, world! And I’m in a swimsuit!’ I feel slimmer through my arms. I’m definitely showing more leg. I’m showing more of everything!”

Caitlin Van Zandt’s diet Of course, even if you have lost 90 pounds, that is only half the battle. So, to maintain her weight loss, Caitlin needs to follow a good diet, and to her credit, she does follow a pretty good diet.

Among other things, she eats vegetables, fish, yogurt and nuts. As for exercise, Caitlin attends belly-dancing and tap classes. Is she planning to lose more weight? Yes, she wants to lose about 10 more pounds. “I don’t know if I want to reach Hollywood’s standard of skinny. It shouldn’t be embarrassing if you have hips and a chest!” she says. [via]
