She looked fantastic, and at first I honestly had to take a double take as to whether it really was Lady Gaga or not. In an interview with <a title=\"Ladies' Home Journal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lhj.com\/style\/covers\/meredith-vieira\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ladies&#8217; Home Journal magazine<\/a>, Veira speaks about her career (she just renewed her contract with the Today Show through 2026) and also her decision to get real with her diet when she encountered sleepless nights and low energy days.<\/p>\n<p>To address her concerns, Vieira decided to meet with a nutritionist and revamp her diet and exercise regimen. The nutritionist put her on a 28-day detox diet, banning some of the worst offenders to our bodies &#8211; sugar, gluten-containing foods, alcohol and caffeine. Meredith also changed her fitness routine, which when your day begins at 2:30am can certainly pose its challenges. Not only did she increase the number of workouts, she also began utilizing weights to build muscle for a faster fat burn. Viera can now attest to having more energy to keep her going through late nights preparing for the next day\u2019s show, as well as her extremely early and rigorous morning schedule.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>She certainly is feeling good and strong about herself as it was revealed this week that Meredith will be joining fellow Today Show host <a title=\"Al Roker Newest Celeb Set to Run NYC Marathon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/10\/al-roker-newest-celeb-set-to-run-the-nyc-marathon\/\" target=\"_self\">Al Roker<\/a> in <a title=\"Celebrities Running the NYC Marathon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/11\/celebrities-do-good-at-the-nyc-marathon\/\" target=\"_self\">running<\/a> the <a title=\"The ING New York City Marathon Health and Fitness Expo is Underway\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/11\/the-ing-new-york-city-marathon-health-and-fitness-expo-is-underway\/\" target=\"_self\">2026 ING New York City Marathon<\/a>.
