It’s that time of year where we all go extra hard on the holiday gingerbread, cookies, and cocktails, vowing (as we’re halfway through a tin of fudge) to say good-bye to all our food vices once Jan. 1st rolls around, but—best news ever!—you might not have to. Oprah Winfrey lost more than 40 pounds, and she did it while eating tacos and pasta. If she wasn’t your hero before, she should be now.
We all know Oprah partnered with Weight Watchers last year—who can forget those “I love bread!” commercials?—but it’s been unclear how much progress she’d made until now. Weight Watchers recently released two new commercials, where Winfrey reveals the progress she’s made so far—and how it didn’t involve a super-restrictive, celery sticks-and-kale-only diet.
Not that the self-help guru didn’t embrace the leafy green life over the past year—the OWN network founder is releasing a cookbook this January that includes a “sexy green juice” and “sexy breakfast,” which is apparently a 7-minute egg over a bed of greens, as you can see in the video below—she also indulged in her fair share of tacos, pasta, and wine. And did we mention tacos?
Winfrey recognized that balance is crucial to sustainable weight loss, and it’s important to never feel like you’re deprived. “Like everybody, I want to live a life that’s full. Full of the happiness found in living the life I want. Full of the energy that comes with good health. Full of the great foods I love, and at Weight Watchers, I don’t have to choose between weight loss and living well,” she explained.
Winfrey doesn’t shy away from the carbs, but she balances it out with plenty of fresh fruit and veggies.
“It’s a lifestyle, a way of eating and a way of living that’s so freeing. You never feel like you are on a diet and it works,” Winfrey told PEOPLE.
