She's almost 51 and she looks amazing...wonder how long she's been keto???3
-
Interesting. She's not one of the celebs I'd heard was diabetic... Nice to see someone talking about it, and not instantly being accused of being insane!2
-
How many folks on daytime network TV would even admit to knowing the word, "ketogenic?"
It's almost like the first time someone said *kitten* on TV (that's you Eric Cartman...)2 -
Articles I've read indicate she's been diagnosed since 19 years of age. Also there was that fiasco earlier in 2000 where she reported said she was cured of T1D and is now T2D. Huh? Can that happen? That was the "fiasco" part.
It is nice to hear her say she abstains from sugar but most articles report her eating lots of vegetables and fruits. Whatever "lots of" means. We all know that some can eat higher grams of carbs and remain in ketotsis because for 1 reason, they exercise. Halle Berry is keen on exercise for both overall body shape and health/diabetes (from everything I've read) but is not a zealot.
Yes. LOL. I follow her a bit in magazines and such. I think she is beautiful. I've never physically followed her around though so don't really know what she eats and how much exercise she does. I'm pretty convinced she eats a generally balanced/healthy diet being reasonably low carb void of mountains of sugary refined stuff. And exercises for health and fitness.
She very well could be eating keto now. She said she is. She provided some basics in that 1 minute clip.1 -
Why is she still in her dressing gown, though? Didn't they have enough time for her to put on a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt?
I mean, she can hardly cover up... all that thigh.....
Poor thing. She'll catch her death.....4 -
I thought that, too. Girl! Who dressed you today? Ugh.0
-
I just wished she'd explained it better.
But yay for her for saying it!
ETA: googling Halle Berry Diabetes was a bit of a hornets nest!1 -

When you're Halle Berry, it doesn't matter what you wear. But it does matter what you eat and good for her for giving Keto its props.5

Her dress works very well for her in my view.6 -

HAHAHA...no. But I'm sure my DH would have made the same response.
It was just ugly and unflattering and I feel like it washed her out. She looked like a 5-year-old made a dress blindfolded and made her wear it. I'm sure some designer made a lot of money. She needs my 14-year-old daughter to dress her. That kid has a talent.
Though I just had the thought: maybe the hostess stipulated that Halle was not allowed to look better than her, so they dressed her down a fair bit?

@baconslave - or maybe Halle wearies of being so constantly in the spotlight that she just wanted to be comfortable? Or maybe it was a "shark week" day and she was hiding cycle bloat and didn't want any stupid pregnancy rumors?
But totally could have been the host thing - except Kelly Ripa wasn't even there that day! LOL They had a substitute host!0 -
she may be going for the currently trendy semi-homeless look...but her hair looks like she's a princess...so it's a bit of a contrast with the outfit0

That don't mean Jenna is any less of a diva.
ETA: I think that's her name. I don't keep up with these things.

HA! At least you had a clue who she was?!?! I turned the sound down some so I could listen at work, never heard the other person's name... LOL We're so old and out of fashion, aren't we, Jess? 0 -

LOL! So. Very. I looked it up so I wouldn't look like an *kitten*. My oldest daughter despairs over me every time I take them somewhere. I wear the mom uniform. (white t-shirt and black danskin lounge pants). She just rolls her eyes.1 -
Hehehe -- you guys are funny. She (Halle) annoys me.1

On a 51-yo diabetic, I didn't find the togs particularly unflattering....
PS The dorky mom look will eventually subside and be replaced with the affectionate "isn't my mom such a cute old lady?" gaze.3 -

I thought it might be the beach cover up that she wasn't wearing in her "beach leap" photo.
If I could look that good in it, I'd wear it... perhaps not on tv but I'd wear it. LOL I'm far from a Bond girl. ;D0 -

You know that often men don't listen when women are talking.

She's beautiful, super fit, worth millions, promoting Keto on national television and yet people still find something to criticize... proof that no matter who you are or what you do, Taylor Swift said it best... haters are gonna hate, hate, hate, hate...9

Well, we are all entitled to our own opinions.
I don't hate. I'm not jealous. It doesn't matter if she's rich, or beautiful, or famous, THE DRESS, or whatever the hell that thing is, STILL BE UGLY.

That wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular. I was just pointing out that of all of the positives that could be taken away from her being a 51 year old diabetic publicly stating that she follows the Keto WOE avoiding sugar and focusing on healthy fats to maintain good health, the conversation took a turn to focus on one small irrelevant thing.4

Articles I've read indicate she's been diagnosed since 19 years of age. Also there was that fiasco earlier in 2000 where she reported said she was cured of T1D and is now T2D. Huh? Can that happen? That was the "fiasco" part.
As a type 1 who is aware of what happened here, I'll explain... she is not type 1. She is also not type 2.
She was initially misdiagnosed with type 1 diabetes and was a well-publicized advocate for T1D for awhile. Then her pancrease suddenly started making insulin again. There was some confusion and some statements that she was "cured" and that annoyed some of us Type 1's who know there is no such thing.
As it turns out, Halle Berry has monogenic diabetes (aka MODY). She was initially misdiagnosed with type 1 because it appeared as though she had stopped making insulin... in fact, she had actually stopped making insulin. Back then, blood tests that we have today didn't exist.
Now, we have antibody tests and C-Peptide tests. If a c-peptide test indicates someone is making very little or no insulin, then they are generally believed to be a type 1. However, someone who is making very little or no insulin AND has no antibodies (i.e. their immune system isn't killing their pancreatic beta cells), then they probably have MODY. The combination of these 2 tests, which were not available when I was first diagnosed either (so maybe I have MODY too... but statistically unlikely) can identify whether someone is type 1 or MODY. A type 2 will not have anti-bodies and c-peptide testing will indicate sufficient insulin production since type 2's have problems on the use side of insulin rather than the production side.12 -
I'm glad you popped in @midwesterner85 to explain. I recalled hearing about it and reading scuttlebutt though never heard the facts.1

Great explanation, thanks.2
