Although Valerie Bertinelli used drugs to numb herself from the glaring spotlight of the media, her addiction to food was more difficult to overcome than cocaine, she told Dr. Mehmet Oz on his Oct. 22 talk show. The 52-year-old admitted that using drugs "wreaked havoc" on her body, noting, "One day I'm eating a healthy meal and the next day I'm just putting a bunch of white powder up my nose." Now more than 40 pounds lighter, she explained how she transformed her mind, body and spirit to take control of her life.

Valerie first gained control over her drug use, but then food became "a crutch," she told Dr. Oz. "I was never really addicted to drugs. That's why it was so easy for me to stop," Valerie explained. "But food is a whole other thing. And I used food as a crutch, and I abused food in a way that I shouldn't have. And it made me afraid of food for a while, too, but now I embrace it." Valerie not only embraces food: she celebrates it with her new cookbook, "One Dish at a Time," featuring Italian recipes, portion control tips and a guide to healthy eating. "I'm a master at losing weight. I've done it almost my whole life. I've lost weight. I've gained it back. I've lost weight, and I gained it back," Valerie admits. "This is the very first time in my life that I have kept this much weight off for as long as I have." Try a recipe from her new cookbook for healthy, low-calorie gazpacho.

A fat loss overview can help you produce a clear summarize of what you require to focus on to carry out your fat burning target if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more boost level of their weightloss strategy. Following are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your own weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss courses have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by leading to a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Pour back into the bowl. Refrigerate until serving time, if desired. Stir once. Garnish with the avocado and cilantro leaves. Serve cold.
