Wynonna Judd: Alli Diet Pill Progress
It’s been six months now since Wynonna Judd signed up to be the celebrity spokesperson for the diet drug Alli. But it appears that she’s taking her time in losing the weight as revealed in this recent interview with People magazine. She had a new album come out in February and she turns 45 in May, but these two incentives still haven’t motivated her to drop any pounds too quickly.
The Alli diet pill acts a fat blocker, and if taken 30 minutes before each meal an FDA-approved study determined that for every two pounds lost on a traditional low-fat diet, that an extra pound is lost when taking Alli. But in Wynonna’s case, she skips the pill during those times she knows she’s going to have a big meal because if a user of Alli eats more than 15 grams of fat at any sitting there are some unwanted side effects, such as loose bowel movements. And according to Wynonna, this is just a bit too rigid. She told People Magazine,
“I can’t be part of a program that’s rigid. Let’s face it—how many times have you sat at a table and felt like you couldn’t partake because you were on some …” She mouths the word, “diet,” explaining, “I can’t even say the word!”
Wynonna is still the spokesperson but she has decided to take a different approach: She tries to walk more, get more exercise and not worry about the pounds. In addition, she’s focusing on being a healthy example for her children and teaching them how to incorporate exercise in their daily lives. She says,
“We go out and walk—but it’s not to burn calories. With my children, I take away that obsession with how you look by doing something fun that’s going to keep them healthy.”
As for how much weight she has actually lost with the Alli diet pill, Wynonna didn’t want to comment on that.
