PAULA DEEN – 40 POUNDS AND MORE
Paula Deen is a celebrity chef who loves to cook and eat indulgently. Her recipes always featured plenty of sugar and butter! But when she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2011, she knew something had to be done. As a food enthusiast, she couldn’t give up on delicious meals entirely, but she made sure to eat in moderation. She also focused on maintaining a healthier diet, invested in a treadmill and took up jogging. The celebrity chef also opened up her own restaurant recently. We’re sure she didn’t need outside investors or a business loan since she herself has a net worth of $14 million.
