Oprah Weight Loss A Hoax? Telling Tall Tales To Up Weight Watchers Stock Price?
Oprah Winfrey's recent weight loss is gaining buzz especially since the Queen of Talk has been all out in bragging how "genius" of a program Weight Watchers is.
According to Oprah, Weight Watchers is the secret behind her 26-pound weight loss. The TV show host raved about how the program allowed her to shed pounds even while eating carbs everyday.
"This is the joy for me. I love bread. I love bread," Oprah said in a promotional video, as quoted by People. "I now just manage it, so I don't deny myself bread, I have bread every day."
"That's the genius of this program," Oprah continued. "I've lost 26 pounds and I have eaten bread every single day."
Despite Oprah's claims, there are speculations that Weight Watchers may not be the only reason behind the TV host's weight loss.
The National Enquirer purportedly conducted an investigation about Oprah's weight loss, and according to the results, she may have purportedly "undergone multiple surgeries to slim down."
"Oprah looks as if she's possibly had some plastic surgery to slim down her neck and add definition to her cheekbones," Dr. Alan Matarasso reportedly told the magazine as quoted by Celeb Dirty Laundry.
Meanwhile, investors may still be trying to figure out whether to buy, sell or hold shares in Weight Watchers ever since Oprah revealed it to be her weight loss program of choice.
"After the mogul tweeted a video of herself Tuesday afternoon proclaiming she had lost 26 pounds while eating bread every single day on a Weight Watchers diet, shares of the diet company (WTW) skyrocketed more than 20%, closing at $13.29 a share," USA Today reported on Tuesday.
"Since the day before Winfrey bought in, Weight Watchers shares have been on a wild ride - more than quadrupling to a high of $28.05 before reversing course."
Oprah Winfrey has yet to comment on speculations that she might have mislead her fans about her weight loss program, as well as on her endorsement's effect to the stock price of Weight Watchers.
