“I cannot tell you how many weight-loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television,” she added.
The moment in her career that Oprah regrets happened on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’. On the show, she had gotten a cart loaded with fat. The fat addressed how much weight she had lost through a thorough fluid fast. The fluid fast expected her to go on a fluids just eating regimen that went on for quite a long time.
