A couple of months ago Kirstie Alley gave both magazine and television interviews where she confessed that she felt she let people down after having gained all of her weight back that she previously lost while on the Jenny Craig diet.  After the Jenny Craig stint ended in 2007, Kirstie admitted to throwing out her home gym equipment and got back on to old eating habits.

“My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter. If I’m at the movies, usually I eat popcorn without butter, but I’d say, ‘I’m at the movies, so who cares?’ And toast with butter. There was a lot of butter going on.”

Back in 2007, it was Kirstie Alley who brought Valerie Bertinelli on board as a new spokesperson for the Jenny Craig Diet.  But now the tables have turned and it’s Bertinelli who looks like a bikini bombshell and Alley has confessed to having gained 83 pounds.  When Alley saw her friend’s swimsuit photos for People Magazine she said,

“She didn’t just look good – she looked stunning! It was inspiring.  It’s like the student surpassed the teacher, who is now over there in the corner, fat!”

The media is all over Kirstie Alley’s latest weight gain.  In just a couple of weeks time she’s been on the Oprah show and had her face splattered across tabloids.  She also gave an interview with People Magazine where she graces the cover and quotes,

“Yes, I gained 83 pounds.”

Well, there’s no hiding that.  During the interview she recalled the first time she weighed herself again after 15 months and she was shocked at what the scales revealed.

“It said 228 lbs., which is my highest weight ever. I was so much more disgusting than I thought!”

After a year of reviewing celebs and their diets, I felt it was high time to give my take on the best and the worst in celebrity diets for 2007. This year’s crop of celebrity diets proves the adage “you are what you eat.” Diets full of fruits and veggies have helped trim down Hollywood’s biggest “losers.” This “best” list of celebs also shows that you don’t have to knock yourself out at the gym to get fabulous. This year it’s all about healthy lifestyle activities with Ricki Lake, Andrea Baptiste and Lenny Clarke getting active by walking, hiking and biking.

Brittany Spears, Beyonce and Ashanti top the worst list by resorting to quick fix weight loss schemes. Diet pills and fasting “detox” diets only give dieters false hope, resulting in rebounding weight and yo-yo dieting. Under the body-conscious spotlight of the media, this list proves that eating well and creating a healthy lifestyle are the best revenge. [Read more →]

Liza Minelli is reported to have lost 43 lbs on Jenny Craig. I ran across this in the recent issue of People mag but it looks like this is old news since there are reports of her weight loss in January of this year. Liza was also reported to have “thanked” Kirstie Alley for joining Jenny Craig. Call me a little skeptical but this smacks of a carefully orchestrated marketing plan by Jenny Craig to get celebs to endorse these diets. As you know Kirstie is having weight troubles herself and looks to have gained some weight recently. [Read more →]

A nutritionist and fitness expert, Jonny Bowden, is quoted as saying “Kristie is way overweight.” [Read more →]

Following success with Kirstie Alley’s much publicized 75 lb weight loss, Jenny Craig has signed on fellow celeb Valerie Bertinelli to join the program. Excited to team up with Kirstie as part of this advertising campaign, not to mention getting paid for losing weight Valerie says “I was a huge Cheers fan and have always admired Kirstie Alley’s sense of humor, poise and tenacity. Watching her lose weight and maintain her weight loss publicly definitely inspired me to ‘call Jenny’ and accept the challenge to be a healthier, happier me.” [Read more →]
