Delta Burke – Diet And Exercise

American actress, producer, and author, Delta Burke, who many will remember played the role of Suzanne Sugarbaker in the hit television sitcom Designing Women, was reportedly able to go down from 215 pounds to a svelte 150 through diet and exercise. Delta Burke’s weight problem started as a teenager. To maintain the slim figure of the beauty queen, Delta Air Lines began eating and exercising from a very young age.

It’s safe to say that her career as a beauty pageant kicked off a very complicated relationship with her own body. She shared in an interview that it was her diabetes diagnosis that pushed her to change her lifestyle and make an investment in her health. It was, so she says, a slow and hard-won battle, but happily, she was able to slog through it and achieve victory. Now, she’s looking slimmer than ever and is serving as an inspiration to many.
