Paula Deen has been battling with Type 2 diabetes for some time now, which led her to get rid of 45 pounds, and now that she dropped her extra baggage, she's considering plastic surgery.

The legendary cook appeared on Entertainment Tonight, where she dabbled about how much weight she lost, and revealed that she is NOT happy with her left over sagging skin.

And because the only way to get rid of droopy dermis is by getting some werk done, she's really thinking about going through with the procedure.

We never saw this coming, but since she's planning on shedding another 15 pounds — she might just need it!!

Ch-ch-check out the clip (above) for more deets!!

WAIT!

Before we even say anything, we're going to guess. Okay, here we go. Ummmmm. Okay! You guys stopped eating a bunch of the unhealthy food you peddled to your viewers, the same food that gave Paula diabetes. Practiced moderation, maybe?

Let's see if we're right!

Paula has lost 40 pounds after the announcement that she had Type 2 diabetes last year (but actually had it for years). That's a pretty big feat to lose all that weight, regardless if you're making tons of bank off of lying to your viewers. Her family, all together, lost 178 pounds! DAMNZ!

Her husband Michael Groover shed 60 lbs., her oldest son Jamie got rid of an excess 45 lbs., and her youngest son Bobby lost 33-lb.

So their solution?

A new study has found that people with pear-shaped bodies have just as much to worry about as those who are apple-shaped.

Or any other fruit shape for that matter.

Especially those shaped like the African horned cucumber. They should probably go see a doctor immediately. Google it and you'll know why. LOLz!

The study found that

And dying young. Can't forget that.

What has happened to the U.S.??

According to a study from the National Academy of Sciences, Americans are waaaaaay unhealthier than Canada, Australia, Japan, Britain, France, Portugal, Italy and Germany. Plus eight other countries.

That's gotta be by like, what, 15 people or something? Not a big gap?

Nope — we're sitting comfortably at #1 in infant mortality, injury and homicide rates, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, drug abuse, obesity and diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, and disabilities. USA!

That's pretty shocking. Know what else is shocking?

We just recently mentioned that the rate which Americans are being diagnosed with diabetes is climbing at an alarming rate.

Diabetes rates have gone up over 100% over the past 15 years in 18 states!!

As a 350-plus-pound man, someone like Shaq might seem like he's at risk.

But people forget that he's 7'1" and was a world-class athlete!

He only has 13% body fat! That's waaaay less than most people even half his weight!

Shaq wants to do what he can to help fight the obesity epidemic and stop the climbing rates of diabetes.

Check out the video (above) to hear Shaq's take on the diabetes crisis here in the U.S.!

A new study just confirmed for us what we all most likely could've guessed anyway…

The study found a drastic increase in the number of people diagnosed with diabetes between 1995 and 2010.

Some of the most dramatic spikes were in the South and

Omega-3 and omega-6 fats are important for health, but so is the ratio. An imbalance of too much omega-6 compared to omega-3 is common in the American diet and can increase your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Try to get more omega-3s through flax seeds, hemp seeds and fish oil.
