Debra Giovanni – Strictly DIET

Like some of the other celebrities already mentioned on this list, Debra’s 300-pound weight was initially no matter of concern. However, the comedienne reconsidered her lax attitude towards her weight after realizing the looming risk of obesity and cardiovascular diseases. In turn, she adopted a weight loss routine and restructured her amount of food intake.

Giovanni now looks lighter and healthier which is a huge improvement from her former self. In the end, her decision to lose weight was the best she did for her health. Debra has been an inspiration to many overweight teens and even older women. She starred in movies about being overweight and has portrayed roles that embody positivity in spite of the backlash most overweight people are getting. Some people say these types of projects and word spread are only romanticizing obesity in women around the world, encouraging them that it is okay to not lose weight. It can also be argued to a degree, however, that movies like these serve as wake-up calls.
