Paula Deen – 40 pounds and more

Paula Ann Hiers Deen is an American TV personality and cooking show host. Deen lives in Savannah, Georgia, and owns and operates The Lady & Sons restaurant and Paula Deen’s Creek House with her sons Jamie and Bobby Deen. She published fifteen cookbooks. Paula Deen may not be as young anymore, but she does know how she can improve her lifestyle.

In 2011, Paula was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so she decided to invest in her health. She started using the treadmill for jogging and investing in healthier meal plans. But, Paula Deen made sure that she’s not depriving herself of food. She still ate whatever she wanted but in moderation. This way, she satisfied her cravings without gaining weight. Paula Deen’s net worth is $14 million, so she probably didn’t need a business loan when she put up her own restaurant.
