Continued from Ricki Lake: Weight Loss and Workout.
What diets did you try? I did them all. I did the Zone, Atkins. I even did the Master Cleanse fast for four hours. My nanny did it and lost 40 pounds. Literally, I could only make it four hours.
But I never considered gastric bypass surgery. People ask me about Star Jones – I would never judge her. It’s her choice. Carnie Wilson? Good for her . But I know women who have had it and it didn’t work.
