Paula Deen – 36 pounds

It’s no secret that celebrity chef Paula Deen loves to cook with butter, sugar and all other things delicious. She’d never been worried about eating healthy and had never worried about losing weight either. But when the Southern chef found out she had Type 2 diabetes, she knew her lifestyle had to change for good. As a result of cutting back on unhealthy foods, Paula Deen is now 36 pounds lighter. That doesn’t mean she isn’t still passionate about cooking, though. Turn on your television and you might catch her cooking on her shows like Paula Deen’s Sweet Home Savannah, Positively Paula, or even a rerun of the 2015 season of Dancing with the Stars that she was on!
