Weight Loss: Kirstie Alley

by SkinnyRunner on March 6, 2010

So Kirstie Alley has come up with her own weight loss program: Organic LiaisonHERE is an article about the specifics of it.  It looks like an organic meal plan with lots of supplements.

“I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist – I’m a regular person like you who has been struggling with her weight and searching and praying for a weight loss program to end that forever.”

(Kirstie on the left after losing 75 pounds strutting her stuff on Oprah.  On the right, she’s back on Oprah recently after gaining it all back.)

“I can promise you our certified weight loss elixir, Rescue Me, takes on excess hunger and cravings. It will support your body and flood your body with the missing elements that make weight loss an uphill battle.”

What do you think about Organic Liaison?  Would it be something you would try or shy away from??

the only thing I’ll buy from kirstie alley is a pie. Her battle with weight shows her need for THERAPY for her emotional issues! Diets aren’t going to work for her cause the root of her problem is probably depression! ::jumpes off soap box::

I was at that Oprah show with Kirstie. The boyfriend won 4 free tickets. IMO it was lame… she came out talked about how she gained it all back and said that she had been working on a new diet plan but couldn’t really talk about it. Booo… now I know what it was. thanx SR.

No, I wouldn’t try her plan. I’ve struggled with my weight for years and I have great empathy for Kirstie Alley… but I wouldn’t trust her for diet advice. :)

I personally think she has some other emotional issues that are keeping her from succeeding. You have to make the choice NOT to diet, but to change your life and change the way you eat. Diets are going to fail because they are almost always impossible to stay on long term.

kirstie alley kind of scares me a little, she just seems like a loose cannon. i agree with some of the other comments that she has some sort of emotional needs that aren’t being met and that she should work with a therapist to help her. no diet is going to work unless underlying issues get resolved

Here’s the thing – it’s just another gimmick. It’s another way to avoid working out and eating properly (aka doing the hard work) that is required to actually LOSE and keep it off. Sure, she’s lost 20-something lbs already from it, but you could get the same results by doing a cleanse from your local health supplement store. Or snorting cocaine for a couple of weeks. Will the weight come back as soon as you put something REAL into your body? Darn tootin’ it will.

I would never ever do this program. NEVER.

Someone who recently GAINED a ton of weight isn’t very believable when they’re selling a weight loss plan. I think she’s cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

So basically this is a “diet” based on buying often minimally available produce and meat (which also requires educating yourself on the poor labeling practices of many “organic” companies) and then taking lotsa vitamins?
First of all – diets don’t work. Lifestyle changes do and that’s why eating clean is the only lifestyle to adopt. You don’t have to buy organic everything because it isn’t necessary. Second, there’s no hard proof that loading up on vitamins actually delivers the benefit we’re told it does. Obviously not a bad move, but let’s not design a diet around the practice.
Lastly – woman needs to exercise.
What marketing genius thought it would be a good idea to put a yo-yo dieting fat chick in front of a diet product?

To echo what everyone else is saying, Kirstie has no credibility. No part of her past or her new diet plan appeal to me or cause me to think “Yes- this is the answer!” It is sad to me.

Anyone else think it’s ironic she went on the Oprah show to promote it? She and Oprah appear to be two of a kind when it comes to their weight.

okay – totally have figured out the hard way that anything from anybody that promises that it is “the answer” is just another step on the yo-yo path. I, too, feel sorry for Kirstie, but have decided to only concentrate on healthy choices and exercise.
