Marie Osmond’s Diet
Summary
Osmond’s weight has fluctuated through the decades. When she was 14 and weighed just 110 lbs., she says the producers of the Donny & Marie Show told her she had to lose weight, and she wound up struggling with starvation and bulimia for years. After having her 3rd child, she gained weight and peaked at 165 lbs. She says heart disease runs in her family and she was afraid she was headed the same way as her mother. She chronicled her weight loss publicly, dropping about 50 lbs. by doing NutriSystem. Because the NutriSystem plan involves buying their food, you don’t have to count calories, carbs or even portion sizes. You are however allowed to supplement with fresh fruit and vegetables from the grocery store.
