\"\"<\/a>Restaurant owner, author and celebrity cook Paula Deen<\/a><\/strong> has been making headlines a lot lately. The southern belle, known for her love of foods that are rich in butter, sugar and all things creamy and fried was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Deen announced in January that she has type 2 diabetes<\/a><\/strong> and she has managed to drop two pant sizes since then. Her weight loss has aided in her feeling better and she achieve it through walking 30 minutes each day and cutting her portion sizes<\/a><\/strong> in half.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve dropped two pant sizes and I feel great!\u201d Deen said. Although she is losing weight and dropping sizes, Deen doesn\u2019t keep track of her exact weight. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a scale in our house. Every six months I go for a physical and find out. Now it\u2019s time to see the doctor. She\u2019ll be so happy if I\u2019ve lost weight,\u201d Deen said.<\/p>\n

Paula Deen has known she\u2019s had type 2 diabetes for over three years, but didn\u2019t officially announce her disease until this past January. She\u2019s received a lot of backlash for continuing to cook foods that are high in fat and calories instead of raising awareness toward a healthier diet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deen has said on several occasions that she encourages moderation rather than regularly eating the types of foods she prepares on her cooking show and in her cookbooks.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople see me cooking all these wonderful, southern, fattening recipes\u2026it\u2019s for entertainment. People have to be responsible,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Paula Deen\u2019s statement does bring to light an important issue when it comes to eating. Learning how to enjoy your favorite foods in moderation<\/a><\/strong> can be the key to helping you stay on track with a healthy lifestyle. Things like eating proper portion sizes, avoiding processed foods and limiting certain items to an occasional taste can fend off feelings of guilt and keep you from binging. Adding in daily activity is also very important.<\/p>\n

Her progress of losing two pant sizes shows that Paula Deen is making changes for the better. Hopefully she continues to move in the right direction toward better health.<\/p>\n
