Star Jones Diet

What diet? Television celebrity and former co-host of ‘The View’, Star Jones accredits her rapid weight loss of over 150 pounds to her “doctor’s intervention”. Uh huh. Her diet ‘secrets’ are to halve all food portions on her plate and walk for at least thirty minutes a day. That’s it.

It was not diet and exercise that worked its magic. Rather the reality is that Ms Jones underwent the scalpel for gastric by-pass surgery to reduce the size of her stomach. The cost in the United States for this type of operation runs from twenty to thirty five thousand dollars.

The saddest part of all this is that Ms Jones has never publicly acknowledged having undergone this surgery, replying coyly when asked about her weight loss success that she relied on her “doctors assistance”. Gastric by-pass surgery is a very extreme weight reduction method, not to be undertaken lightly as there can be very serious consequences.
