Ricki Lake: Diet and Weight Loss
Ricki Lake’s remarkable weight loss is making headlines again in this week’s issue of Ok Magazine, to help publicize the premiere of her Lifetime movie, Matters of Life and Dating. If you recall Ricki was profiled on the US magazine front cover a couple months ago. At her heaviest she weighed 260 pounds in 1991, and had been on a slew of diets including South Beach, the Zone, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Atkins and the Master Cleanse. She got serious this time around on February 2 of this year in preparation for the premiere of her documentary, The Business of Being Born, at the Tribecca Film Festival.
Ricki’s Diet
With the help of a meal delivery service, freshdining.com, she had slimmed down to 123 pounds and continues to keep the weight off. She keeps to a 1200 calorie per day diet. Here’s a sample…
Breakfast - French Toast and turkey sausage
Lunch - Mainly salads with a little steak
Dinner - Fish with brown rice and veggies
She reveals her weakness is bread, but now “I’ll have one piece of bread instead of the whole basket.”
Ricki’s Workout
She’s a big fan of hiking and walking. Previously she revealed that she didn’t use a trainer, but it appears she has recently begun working out with a trainer with “the goal of being tight and firm, not to lose weight.” She works out with her trainer 1 hour 3 times a week mainly focusing on weight training alternating upper body and lower body workouts.
Celeb Diet Doctor Weigh in…
Go Ricki! Her weight loss is truly inspiring and a model for all those looking to lose weight. Despite a history of yo-yo dieting she has managed to keep it off by sticking to a meal plan the emphasizes lean protein, fruits and veggies. She also knows the importance of portion control by not binging on bread. She hikes 4 1/2 miles a day, which shows that you don’t have to knock yourself off to lose weight. Now it looks like she has added some weight training, which will also help to build up some metabolically active muscle which should also help to keep the weight off.

Just want to say Ricki you look great.I have a hard time taking off the pounds.but you have inspired me thanks.
Hello! Richie you look great, much happiness to you,Smooches!
The funny thing about diets and weightloss plans are their are so many and all do not work for everyone. The thing that you have to do is to keep trying different plans until you find the one that gets you the results you are looking for.
The most important thing is to keep on trying and you will find it.
If you check out enough diet sites you will find certain things that run through all of them and these generally are the things that you use to create your diet foundation.
I kept on searching until I found one that would allow me to eat whatever I wanted and still get in shape. I also shared this with some other people who thank me daily.
Keep trying and don’t stop!
