Sarah Palin on weight loss: Says she is not anorexic.
– Reported, October 31, 2012
Sarah Palin is writing a fitness book where she’ll detail her age-defying diet and workout secrets.
Palin made the surprise revelation to People in response to questions over her shocking recent weight loss. Sarah, 48, raised eyebrows after sporting a dramatically thinner figure in Los Angeles on Oct 8.
“Our family is writing a book on fitness and self-discipline focusing on where we get our energy and balance as we still eat our beloved homemade comfort foods,” said Palin, who didn’t say whether she has a book contract yet or when it will be published.
“We promise you what we do works and allows a fulfilling quality of life and sustenance anyone can enjoy.”
Palin, a mother of five, is a longtime runner who follows a high-protein, low-carb diet. “Conventional running is my sanity,” Sarah told Runner’s World in 2009. For most of her adult life, Sarah ran 5-10 miles almost every day, except during her pregnancies, when she switched to aerobic classes.
“My family and I eat a healthy diet heavy in wild Alaskan seafood, moose, caribou and fresh fruit,” said Palin in 2010.
“My biggest pitfall is breakfast. I know it’s the most important meal of the day but I still haven’t bought into it. I hate to admit it, but a skinny white-chocolate mocha is my staple in the morning.”
Despite her own strict workout and diet regimen, Palin has slammed First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” anti-obesity program as an example of the Obamas trying to take away Americans’ “God-given rights to make our own decisions.”
Sarah quipped: “Instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician’s wife priorities, just leave us alone. Get off our back!”
Childhood obesity, which has tripled in the last 30 years, continues to skyrocket. According to the Associated Press, one in 3 American children is overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other illnesses.
Meanwhile, Palin’s daughter, Bristol, recently made headlines for her own dramatic weight loss and plastic-surgery makeover, which she’s flaunting on Season 15 of “Dancing With the Stars.”
