Oprah Winfrey Is All Cleaned Out

by celebuzz on Jun. 26, 2008 08:21 AM / 8 Comments

Oprah Winfrey has completed her 21-day vegan detox and says she feels "awakened." It's probably delusions from malnutrition.

"I want some wine. Bordeaux 82. Just one glass at sunset, almost broke down and had a glass. I didn't," Winfrey wrote in her blog.

Oprah, who has the benefit of top chefs working in her home, whipping up things for her every whim, ate meals created from the vegetables in her garden.

"Main meal was a large baked potato with sautéed onions, herbs and olive oil. And fresh green salad with avocado and tomato, lemon, garlic and olive oil," she wrote.

The media maven was inspired to fast—if that's what she calls eating baked potatoes and avacado—by a book called Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston.

"This has been exactly what we intended: enlightening. I will forever be a more cautious and conscious eater."

And then she closed her laptop and hauled ass to BK for a Whopper. Let's be real.

Quotables /

“Oprah Winfrey is going vegan for a 21-day detox plan, inspired by Kathy Freston’s book “Quantum Wellness”.

Oprah and three pals from her production company will be swearing off meat, caffeine, sugar, gluten and alcohol. You can follow Oprah’s journey at her blog on Oprah.com.

“This 21-day cleanse gives me a chance to think about [eating] differently and see what my attachments are to certain kinds of foods – and what I’m willing to do to change,” she wrote on Sunday (day one). “Don’t know if I’m going to feel better or worse, but I’m willing to try to see if my body at least feels differently.”

“Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying.” she added on day two. “I had been focused on what I had to give up — sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese. ‘What’s left?’ I thought. Apparently a lot. I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast — strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes.””
