Oprah Winfrey has kicked off her new year’s diet ‘reset’ by saying goodbye to the special banana birthday cake she made for her best friend Gayle King.
The media mogul took to Instagram to share a video of herself throwing leftover food in the trash and sharing her plans to return to normal eating after the holidays.
“It’s time for a reset. I’m cleaning out my refrigerator,” she explained. “And I have to say, we eat every day as if food had just been invented.”
For Gayle’s 67th birthday celebration, the moderator tossed a little yellow-themed evening gathering that included radiant blossoms and a three-level yellow glazed cake by Culinary specialist Thomas J .Raquel performed.
When January 11 moved around, Oprah was prepared to get back to her WW (previously Weight Watchers) eating plan. Be that as it may, she referenced nothing about weight reduction in her video. All things being equal, she calls it a ‘reset’.
‘No chance of one last piece of Gayle’s delicious bananas foster birthday cake,’ Oprah said before throwing the leftovers in the trash
At the end of the video, the media mogul picked up her water bottle and reminded her fans to hydrate
For Gayle’s birthday 67th on December 28, she had Chef Thomas J. Raquel whip up a three-tier yellow cake, which was what she threw out this week
‘So, I’m clearing out the fridge,’ she said. ‘No chance of one last piece of Gayle’s delicious bananas foster birthday cake. And I know a lot of you are also ready for a reset.’
The WW spokesperson, who previously lost 40 pounds following the points-based plan, went on to promote the subscription-based program to her 20.4 million followers.
‘It brings you back to center. It helps me stay on track. It brings a level of awareness to what I’m eating, and that’s what helps me close out the holidays, get back in control of how I want to live,’ she shared, urging her fans to join her.
‘So let’s do our day one together. Not one day, not tomorrow, not next Monday, not next week. Let today be our day one, OK? Goodbye bananas foster cake,’ she added while tossing the cake in the trash. ‘And, oh yeah, don’t forget to hydrate.’
