Kirstie Alley Flaunts New Figure On 'Oprah'
Chicago, IL (AHN) - Actress Kirstie Alley flaunted her new figure in a bikini on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." She had lost 75 pounds on her 5-foot-8 frame, after reaching a high of 220 pounds. Alley, 55, walked onto the show's stage wearing a maroon bikini. Although she opted to wear a dress for the interview, Alley told Oprah that she never would have had the guts to don a bikini onstage even when she was a slender 30-year-old. "I think women - I don't think we ever feel like we're good enough. We don't feel like we're thin enough or pretty enough or smart enough or work hard enough. And we are good enough," she said. She said: "The bikini thing is neither here nor there, other than the fact, you know, I am 55 years old. So I thought - come on, we are all good enough.

"One of the things that can make people cranky and feel bad is a big swing in blood sugar," explains Susan Bowerman, MS, RD, assistant director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition.
