Vegetarian Star

Jennifer Widerstrom from NBC’s Biggest Loser is teaching fitness by practicing what she preaches.

A former American Gladiators star, she’s known for her ripped physique and athletic skills. But she’s recently experienced an enlightenment that’s made her think as much about what she’s lifting with her fork as what she’s lifting on the barbell.

“I try to eat more green stuff now. I’d be really good and then be really bad. Now I’m more consistent. Like for lunch today, I’m going to get a vegetarian wrap with lettuce, where before I would have gotten a fried chicken sandwich and fries … because that’s the way I feel today,” she says.

The Biggest Loser is helping some teenage contestants get fit this season.

Pediatrician Dr. Joanna Dolgoff paid a visit to several of the competitors in the weight reduction challenge to discuss healthy eating and ways to improve their diet.

Sunny is a longtime vegetarian who learned that even though she’s already following a healthy diet, even vegetarians can be guilty of the wrong kind of indulgences. In Sunny’s case, Dr. Dolgoff warns of the dangers of being a “carbotarian.”
