The Cause of Oprah’s Weight Gain Revealed

"My body was turning on me," Oprah states in the October issue of O magazine. The reason she gives for this turn that led to 20 pounds of weight gain is common to millions of Americans, it’s called a slowed metabolism.

Clinical nutritionist Thomas Von Ohlen, MS, NC says, “Yes, metabolism is the overlooked piece of the weight loss puzzle. Most weight loss programs focus in on diet and exercise and completely disregard the most crucial component which is our metabolism. Oprah has stated that her metabolism was slowed down by erratic thyroid gland function, but there are other, more common causes to a sluggish metabolism that health practitioners often fail to address.”

Von Ohlen is a co-author of the book “101 Great Ways to Improve Your Health.” in which he wrote a chapter titled, “The Secret to Healthy Weight Loss and Unlimited Energy.” This chapter explains exactly how our metabolic rates start to slow as we age and gives a step by step process to correct the problem naturally. Von Ohlen also authored the e-book “60 Days to Healthy Weight Loss and Whole Body Cleansing,” His FREE newsletter is available at http://www.healyourbodynow.com
