Although Kirstie Alley has lost more than 60 pounds during her tenure on Dancing With The Stars, she may be approaching her weight loss in the wrong way. In fact, the 60-year-old former Fat Actress, may have become overly zealous about dieting. During this week's rehearsals, the Cheers star fell twice, causing her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, to become concerned.
After watching Kirstie Alley stumble and fall twice in rehearsals, Chmerkovskiy asked her how much she'd been eating. When she replied "1,400 calories a day," he became even more worried. While that's a more than sufficient caloric intake for the average person, it's not really enough for someone who, like Kirstie, is "working out more than four to five hours a day." No wonder Chmerkovskiy was alarmed.
Of course, Kirstie denies starving herself.
"I wasn't intentionally not eating," she claimed. "I forgot!"
Perhaps she was telling the truth, because in spite of the spills she took in rehearsals, Kirstie Alley's tango rocked, earning her 2 nines and a ten--her first 10 of this season. She ended the show by holding her own respectably. She'll be back.
Kudos to Kirstie Alley for sticking with both her diet and the Dancing With The Stars competition. Doing both must be incredibly gruelling. It would be wonderful indeed if she managed to win the competition and lose all her excess weight. But she'd probably settle for the weight loss.
You go, Kirstie.
