I know most people don’t dream about her on a regular basis like I do, but Oprah has major media muscle and has flipped consumers into frenzy after frenzy based on her regular guest spots and personal journeys with weight loss and diet.

Some of these may be written with honest intentions – but there are many more that have been put forward as “miracle diets” with the aim of seducing you with the notion that you can lose weight fast.
