Food full of calories and fats is good for no one. Paula Dean, who is known as the First Lady of Lard, also finally realized that her bacon-and doughnuts diet that she used to had everyday has thrown her into the battlefield of diabetes. Yes, this was a secret till January, but following the disclosure of it, Paula Dean lost around 30 pounds and today she is totally changed. Paula Dean put down her butter knife and following this, dropped her eight dress sizes.

Dean never thought of it before that some lucky day, she would become so slim and strict about her diet. The fried butterballs and cheeseburger meat loaves that she used to be fond of are now out of her food palate. In fact, the entire architecture of her plate has changed. She prefers eating healthy food including green vegetables, fruits etc.

As told by Dean to the Food Network chef, “My carbs are just a spoonful. I still use real butter, but I take it one day a week to have anything I want”. Now she can do anything she wants to, which were out of her reach when she was fat. Recently, it has been reported, that Dean has signed a $6 million worth contract to endorse a diabetes drug too.
