Raúl de Molina has had to pass several tests by fire in his fight against being overweight, one that he is gaining, since he has lost more than 70 pounds since he began his diet in July 2007. One of these was not indulging in temptations Thanksgiving dinner last November when he traveled to Los Angeles to the house of friends who are gourmet chefs and they prepared a traditional feast with mashed potatoes, champagne, pumpkin pie and five types of turkey filling, which Yes, it was organic.

"Thanksgiving was deadly," admits his wife, Mily de Molina, 48. “Our friends had been cooking for like three days. We went through the kitchen and they were melting butter.” Although the 49-year-old Cuban presenter, author of the book The Fat Man's Diet (Grijalbo), admits that this time perhaps he tried some extra bite, he immediately returned to the strict mandates of The South Beach Diet.

Although he still loves food, De Molina admits that he has learned to order healthier dishes in restaurants, to avoid desserts (his greatest weakness) and to burn up to 600 calories in the treadmill in a single exercise session. "I was able to do it," he says proudly, "and anyone can do it." Now not only do you feel better in health - you have more energy and your blood pressure has dropped - you also enjoy more what you see in the mirror. "Sometimes he gets a little vain and now he protests when they call him fat", jokes Lili Estefan, his accomplice before the cameras of El gordo y la flaca (Univisión). "I say to him playing: Hey Rauli, you used to be more likeable when you were chubby. You're getting heavy. " On the contrary, now Raúl de Molina is lighter than ever.
