Amy Winehouse On Fast Food Diet
September 16th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Gain, Miscellaneous Celebrities, Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse has reportedly eaten seven meals from McDonald’s in the past week… all in a quest to gain some weight.
According to various news sources, Amy has finally acknowledged that she is too thin. So in an effort to put on weight, she has frequented a couple of different fast food restaurants over the past week - and has already gained 14 pounds (1 stone).
Reports said that Winehouse has scoffed seven McDonald’s in the past one week.
And, her ploy certainly seems to be working as the 24-year-old has already gained a stone.
A source said that Winehouse has visited Mr Jerk - a Soho restaurant three times in the past week.
“Amy came in really good spirits and ordered an extra large portion of brown stew chicken which she polished off in minutes,’ the Mirror quoted the source, as saying.
“She was looking really healthy and it’s clear she’s putting on weight again,” the source said.
OK, I don’t really see how this is a good idea. Why not just change her eating habits to include more calories, and gain the weight slowly and healthily? She may end up doing more damage to herself this way.
What do you all think - is it a good idea to put on weight super-fast with junk food?
second!
I understand her and the pressure she is going through, perhaps she should have an even more voluminous hairdo to weigh even more.
Does anyone know what she is hiding or smuggling in her hair?
weird. i’d be interested to see some new pictures of her “so called” weight gain. otherwise, she could just be on a binge with absolutely no intention of gaining weight.
Horrible way to weight gain. She’ll love the taste of junk again and then…go to the other extrme. Ok not really…it just seems silly…all attentionploy!
Very bad way to add pounds to her frame. I hope she is not that silly and is just doing this for attention, as bad as that sounds. If she has gained that much weight from eating junk than that is ridiculously unhealthy and she may be doing more harm than good.
hmmm…. people are always so extreme. Just like there are healthy and unhealthy ways to lose weight, there are also healthy ways to gain weight.
We’ll see how long that lasts. She will start feeling so gross… I doubt anyone who doesn’t already eat a lot of fast food would be able to just subsist on that kind of thing. I start feeling gross if I eat fast food more then twice in one week!
its the dumbest thing ever. shes just binging.
That’s just stupid.
Honestly? What do you expect from her? This girl is a mess and needs major guidance. She can’t stay clean and sober so why in the hell would she care what she puts down her throat? I wish she’d get help already. I can’t stand seeing pictures of her anymore. Turns my stomach..,
PLEASE!! Amy has admitted in the past with suffering from eating disorders; and we know she has drug problem also. Eating a bunch of fast, junk food is NOT a good way to go about gaining weight; it’ll just make her feel crappy and probably go back into her old ED habits.
14 pounds in 7 days? That’s impressive! I want to know her secret.
Well she definitely needs to gain weight… I mean she looks ematiated for goodness sakes! I’m glad she can finally see that and do something about it.
Personally, my theory is that if you have such significant weight to gain, why not enjoy it and eat junk and stuff that tastes good rather than protein bars and shakes? Because really, when else are you going to have the opportunity to pig out like that… certainly not when you’re at your goal weight! So have fun with it while you can eat that sh*t.
Isidora, I’m all for getting to indulge, but all she’s taking it to new heights…7 days a week? Her stomach must feel GREAT.
Riiiight……and I’m a freaking beauty queen.
“Polished off in minutes”?…”Extra portions”…?
She’s an admitted bulimic with some serious addiction issues. She may be working on the sobriety part, but how the hell do you think she’s getting through it.
yeah right… as if she did not purge later! she has worked really hard to reach this “ideal” weight (drugs, overexercising, purging etc) do let it go to ruins… she was a chubette when she first appeared-something like her arch rival lily allen. seriously I want to start breaking stuff when I hear about these clearly anorexic celebutarts (angelina, amy etc etc) trying so hard to convince us that they do whatever possible to gain weight but because their life is so cruel they never succeed to. I mean ok being a crazy mess is acceptable for me but being an indignant liar is not!
Well, duh. Of course she wouldn’t do it the healthy way. It wouldn’t be melodramatic enough now would it?
I agree with those that said she is binging.
As fad diets are terrible way to lose weight, eating junk is as horrible or worst way to gain, she may end up malnourished and gaining only like belly fat, cellulite and such.
No, that’s a terribly unhealthy way to put on weight. You’re right SG, this will only put more strain on her body. As if she dosn’t have enough already.
Everyone please SHUT UP! If she is serious about gaining weight and cleaning herself up, why the hell should she not enjoy doing it! I’m sorry, do you all prefer her being a good 10-15 lbs underweight? I seriously doubt eating McDonalds is worse than snorting coke and being totally wasted 24/7. Give her a break, at least she is trying!
even if she is eating mcdonalds to gain weight, not just as an excuse to binge & then purge it all out later, she’s not doing it healthily. when she does get to a healthy weight it will be hard for her to stop eating crap, while not going back to restricting severly either. she needs to find a happy medium and not do such extremes of binging or starving. she should just eat healhty and normal.
has anyone seen her “skinny body?” its hideous. she may be skinny, but she is totally out of shape. even if she put on 14 lbs, she is going to look horrible unless she starts working out.
ewww…fast food is so gross! I totally agree that she is just bingeing…people with eating disorders are NEVER happy to gain weight.
Jesus, Do you remember what she looked like a couple of years ago? Well Im not saying it was disgusting or anything but If she keeps doing this, she’ll end up right back there. Youve already said she’s got a case of Skinny-fat. soon she’ll just be fat-fat.
This story is not true. She hasn’r gained any weight.
She’s better off eating nothing at all like she might have been before than clogging her arteries with fast food. I find it funny that people think she looks “healthier” from gaining weight that way. No, she looks heavier–there is a difference.
I love how everyone says it’s so unhealthy, yet everyone also screams “EAT A CHEESEBURGER!” to all of those super skinny celebs.
What hypocrites you all are.
I suppose it’s not super healthy for her to be eating at McDonald’s seven times in a week. Of course, ODing on drugs and alcohol isn’t very healthy, either.
That it such a bad way to gain weight!!! Not only will she gain weight she will also become very unhealthy as McDonalds foods are highly processed…even the bread.
You would think since she is “famous” she could afford a dietician and a chef to help her gain weight rather than supporting the worst food chain in the world!
Eating a ton of fast food is a really stupid way to gain weight. I’m trying to put on about 10 lbs myself and I’m doing it by going a little easier on the running (I’ve cut back to only 90 minutes a day, 6 days a week) and adding a few hundred extra calories per day of healthy fats (nuts, olive oil, and fish). And yeah, Amy Winehouse DEFINITELY needs to hit the gym so she doesn’t end up turning into a blob.
McDonald’s - YUCKY-BARF!!!!!!! If you want to gain weight and you have Amy Winehouse’s budget, go to The Cheesecake Factory every day or several times a day, (or order several orders to take home so you have extra meals for home), and eat a salad, and entree and a slice of cheesecake. You will be quite full, guaranteed! And the food will be fantastic! I LOVE their cheesecake - original recipe. They have many different types.
I wonder what normal is for her. What would she weigh if she just ate when she was hungry, and exercised reasonably. Is she naturally fat, or naturally skinny, or naturally about in between?
beautyqueen18 - how exactly is she “cleaning herself up” by eating junk food 7 days a week?
I wouldn’t know if it’s a good idea, I’ll never have the pleasure of trying to GAIN weight.
spectra . . . you cut back your exercise routine of running down to 90 minutes six days a week? how much time were you spending before? you sound like some psycho exercise freak. you training for the olympics? or are you just trying to show off your stats online? hmmm im guessing the second option.
ps- winehouse isnt going to “turn into a blob” if she doesnt obsess over calorie counting.
some of you people are so judgmental when it comes to celebrity bodies. last time i checked, they take sh*ts just like you and me.
Eva Longoria—who I do not particularly like—looked fabulous at the emmys. She is gaining—probably in a healthy eating way. couple pounds a month will give you 25 in a year.
Alanna~
Leave Spectra alone. Sometimes when you are in training for a marathon you have to do runs that are long to get your body in shape for the endurance, or you’ll never finish the race. It is impossible to keep weight on when you are in training, and if you are thin to begin with, forget it! If you don’t have all the facts on someone don’t throw knives. I’m sick to death of all of you people that are nasty to thin women!
It seems like she’s doing this to get negative attention away from herself, because she can’t stay on a fast food diet forever, she’ll make herself ill. And once she starts eating normally again she’ll probably lose the weight again. Besides, even people who want to gain weight don’t want to get fat.
beautyqueen18 - you are so right!
is her knee bleeding?
Alanna, how did you check?
(Of course I’m asking *tongue in cheeck*.) (But … wait. Maybe that’s not the best phrase to use, given the circumstances.)
the poor girl just has no idea whatsoever about taking care of herself… and that pic is fug beyond belief.
she looks like a cross between a junkie, a homeless person and a faded old woman from 1962 - if you are serious about gaining weight, you should do it healthily - anyone see Super Size Me? - that man ate McDonalds every day and it almost killed his liver - and you shouldn’t gain weight really fast (like you shouldn’t lose it really fast either) - it messes with and stresses out your system, and you can get stretch marks (not that she worries about those) - getting off drugs would be a better way for her to gain weight
Hooray!! No more ballet slippers!
Who gives a rats ass what she eats?? She’s a fugly skank!
She looks like she’s puking a Big Mac!
I don’t even know what might happen to you during private toilet time if you were eating McFood everyday. I think you’d crap manatees.
I’m sorry but she is nasty… she looks like a whino on mad drugs….. do not see her appeal.
It’s absolutely stupid to say that you haven’t had the “pleasure” of gaining weight, Alanna. When you have an eatingdisorder, trying to get your weight into the normal level is mentally very very hard. It’s not like anorexics are like “now I can what ever I want cuz I’m s’posed to get fat, yay!!” It is a long struggle.
Amy Winehouse is obviously mentally unstable. She clearly doesn’t want to gain weight REALLY, because she wouldn’t do it this way if she did. She’s just probably sick of everyone saying she should eat something.
I doubt she gained any.
brown stew chicken?
and I thought American McDonalds was gross
Aw, poor Amy. Wish she’d use her earnings to hire a personal chef to cook her some healthy meals from a variety of foods and a personal coach to teach her how to nurture herself and find the work/life balance. Because she’s talented and way too young to be in this state.
Biggest load of hooey ever. There have been numerous claims she is bulimic. No WAY can a bulimic stand to eat big fatty meals and not purge them. I swear they would have to watch her like a hawk and probably put her in a straightjacket kicking and screaming to make sure she didn’t purge it. If she’s really eating all that she’s probably purging it…if for some reason the reports are true and she is using that to gain weight it’s the worst way ever. Then she’ll just be super skinny with loads of fat.
When your body needs weight and nourishment as badly as hers does, i think gaining weight quickly is a good idea.
I just noticed that I mistyped “cheek” as “cheeck” in my comment earlier. WHOOPS! (Hello, I am anal.) (Zip it, Cossey. Shhhhh.)
I really don’t give a sh*t what she eats. I’m just happy she’s wearing nicer shoes.
Jodi…..I’ll resist comment as you already knew what I was gonna say!!
Actually, Jodi~ I want the coat that Amy is wearing! And I’m glad that she’s dumped the ratty slippers for the day too!!!! LOL!
Amy, please go eat sushi and do something good for your body!!!!
14 lbs in one week? Is that even technically possible? I’ll have to see the pics to believe it.
A personal side note- I went to a treatment program for anorexia and was eating 4000 cals a day. I went up in cals gradually and I only gained 2 lbs a week. I sat most of the day and was allowed a 20 mins walk once daily. So that’s why I’m a bit reluctant to believe she could gain that much so quickly. I do understand the diferences between the way a person with anorexia gains vs a person with bulimia, but still…
And please, I didn’t give my personal information for attention. Just wanted to make my point.
No, it’s not a good idea. If she continues her eating habbits as described she’s in dangerzone for developing bulimia.
I doubt she gives a rat’s ass what anyone thinks, and sure isn’t doing it for publicity. Like she needs anymore, and she isn’t the type to go seeking it out anyway.
I also doubt that she is doing it to gain weight or that the weight will stay on. For reasons many of you have already mentioned.
That really isn’t a healthy way to go. I personally would get sick from all that greese from the fried. If she has admitted she has bulimia and shes eating that much then I’d think it’s returned and thats not good
No. I think she had the case of the munchies.
she should consume more calories in a healthy way i agree.
gaining weight by junk fooding is SO unhealthy. she should eat healthy and build muscle…
but yay for 14lbs, she’s doubled her weight (hardy har?) ok i’m not trying to make fun of her, she’s an amazingggg talent and i really wish the best for her. she needs, clearly, a lot of help.
What in gods creation is she doing in the photo?
If she wants to gain weight why not just stop the drugs???
why is she on a fast food diet she should be fasting! lose some weight fatty!
~*bonez*~
a bit late but I only just saw this thread….
it’s possible
when I started eating again after fasting for 2 weeks straight, I gained 8 pounds in 3 days. Mostly water weight, but it is possible. I had lost very very quickly (15 pounds in 14 days) so I gained it back quickly.
no doubt in my mind she’s purging it
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
She has bulimia, right? Bulimia is characterized by eat large amounts of food, especially junk food and fast food, then purging. Just because she’s eating, it doesn’t mean that she’s keep it down.
And no, rebuilding a depleted body on empty calories isn’t good. You are what you eat, after all.
