Bestselling author and award-winning chef Art Smith was cooking for celebrities but neglecting to take care of himself. In fact, he was eating himself into the grave. His blood pressure was high, as was his cholesterol level, and his weight had ballooned to 325 pounds. But then, by changing his diet and starting an exercise routine while still enjoying his love of fine dining, he lost 50 pounds in just six months, and cured his health problems. Over time, while continuing to eat good, healthy food, he ended up losing 100. While transforming himself and his health, he learned that fine cooking is not only a way to show love to others, but can play an important role in losing weight.
Smith was the personal chef to the governor of Florida Bob Graham and his family. From there he met Oprah Winfrey, who immediately loved his Southern cooking. In fact, Oprah was so impressed by his health makeover through a better diet that she had him on a special show that explored how he reversed his diabetes. Eventually Art Smith became Winfrey's personal, day-to-day chef, a position he held for ten years. Smith now cooks for the special events that she hosts all over the world.
