Good for Oshine, Good for You

A steady diet of processed foods and sweets, to include jelly and marshmallows, has caused Oshine to put on a few pounds. In fact, Oshine weighs in at twice the proper weight for someone her size. What is a girl to do? Give up the junk and dine on fresh fruits, vegetables and a few weekly servings of lean protein (chicken breasts and eggs). Plus, lots of exercise!

Oshine is in her breeding years and it is wise for her to get a bit more healthy before she conceives. None of this is at all surprising. Each of us, if on a regime of processed food and no exercise, will quickly put on the pounds. And, it is (unfortunately) not all that unusual for someone to be two times their natural weight.

What makes Oshine so special? She's an orangutan. A beautiful, orange, furry girl with a bit of a belly. We'll keep track of Oshine and her progress now that she's living the healthful life. If she can do it, so can you!
