Rachael Ray's Weight Loss Journey

Rachael Ray began gaining weight at the age of 40. Her profession as a chef meant that she had to taste a variety of dishes in a day, and she could not filter the food as healthy and unhealthy during such tastings. She was not able to control her diet as she was not health-conscious at the time. Gradually, she began gaining more and more weight over the years as a result of her poor eating habits.

Rachael Ray was at the same time also rising in fame. Her business was doing very well, and she was always busy with cookbooks, shows, and magazines. She began having throat problems as a result, as she used to talk non-stop for 12-16 hours a day. She soon discovered she had a cyst in her throat. She underwent throat surgery and had to rest for three weeks without being able to speak. Then at that moment, she decided to release the frustration of not speaking at the gym. She began training with her husband and began her weight loss journey.

Rachael Ray's Workout Routine

Rachael Ray does a mix of cardio and strength training. After the throat surgery, she began to run 3.5 miles every day and soon began to engage more in other forms of workout. As an article by Style Craze mentioned Rachael talking about her workout plans: 'I do strength work on the machines: biceps, triceps, the twisty one (I call it the twist and shout) where you hold on to the handles, the thing that looks like a chair without a seat that you hold yourself up on, and my personal favorite, the crunch machine, 'she said.

'I really dig the machines,' Rachael added. 'They're like the monkey bars at the playground. Then I do what I call my bendy-stretchy and go home. That hour at the gym is my recess from being Rachael Ray. Between my daytime show, the Food Network shows, my magazine, and my books, I'm always go, go, go! But working out is my time. That's why I don't use a trainer. I'd feel like it was about making the trainer happy, not making me happy. Plus, trainers want you to listen to them. I like listening to my music.'
