Marilu on Fit TV
Over the weekend I was flipping channels and I happened to catch Marilu Henner’s new show on Fit TV-Shape up your life. I thought “wow, she looks great for however old she must be” I mean she was on ‘Taxi” years ago and she definitely looks better now!
Well I looked it up. Marilu is 53 years old and she looks awesome. Whatever she is doing works very well for her. So the next question is “What is she doing?”
So, I checked out her website at http://www.marilu.com. Her program is outlined on the website and in a book she published around 1998 (or so) “Total Health Makeover”.
In it she has 10 steps to total health including eliminating most meat (especially red meat) and eliminating all dairy. She also advocates food-combining, which is the antithesis of many of the popular diets out there. Food combining means to never combine protiens with carbs at the same meal and many of the diets now promote eating a balance of protiens and carbs at one meal.
It works exceptionally well for Marilu. Yeah, you could say that she is living proof. But the thing is, diets and other things don’t work perfectly for everybody. I would be very surprised if her diet or any diet worked perfectly for every body. I mean if that was the case, wouldn’t we all just be skinny and beautiful ( or at least the ones who try!). Everyone’s metabolism is different and what works for Marilu may not work for Jane Doe in Ohio. But it is an interesting and healthy approach and Marilu does look good for being 53!
