RICKI LAKE – ATKINS DIET

Ricki Lake debuted with a bang in Hairspray, a well-loved American classic. At that time, she already weighed over 300 pounds. This soon affected her career and confidence and drove her to change her lifestyle. Ricki’s eating disorders began in childhood. Born into a Jewish family in New York, she is the daughter of housewife Jill,and Barry lake, a pharmacist. She recalled that her weight began to “creep up” around the age of nine, and she became “bigger and bigger and bigger” as a teenager.

After taking out cash loans for a program called Atkins diet, she soon went to work and lost over 100 pounds. The sudden change in lifestyle made her vulnerable to weight fluctuations, causing her to gain and lose weight erratically. Nowadays, Ricki Lake sticks to a regular workout habit and a healthy diet. Although it takes commitment and determination to lose weight and stay in shape, Lake herself is an example of the seemingly impossible.
