Is Rachael Ray developing a weight-loss program?

I'll admit -- I have a teensy crush on Rachael Ray. She's funny, she's cute and she can cook like nobody's business. Her meals are usually pretty healthy, but how great would it be if she started dishing out calorie-conscious recipes? Well, that's exactly what she's going to start doing, according to this article, all in an effort to lose the extra pounds she gained from the stress of being in the spotlight -- and being surrounded by food all day.

The 5'3 TV star and authoress is going to start coming up with healthy concoctions while her show's on hiatus, and then she's going to share them with us when she's back on TV.

Will you be watching?

Are you kidding me? That little pig faced, annoying voiced hyper phoney? She can't cook, and how she ever got on tv is beyond me. She should have stayed down on the farm!

My did you get out of bed on the wrong side! What she ever done to you?

Hell no won't be watching, she has got to be one of the most annoying people in this world!

She's not funny. she's not cute, and she can't cook, and her meals are not healthy. Don't you watch her show?

Wow, Sassy! You are very jealous! RR has it going on, and obviously you believe you don't. What a bitter, hateful person you are... too bad for those who have to be around you.

I also agree that she is quite annoying and wonder how someone like this makes it on television.

To Janis:
Why don't you learn how to write English? Duh.

With all the money she has made, she should buy a bigger top.

Bev 7-12-2007 @ 8:33PM

I like her. Change the channel if she bothers you. Easy solution.

miser 7-12-2007 @ 8:39PM

Sorry to disagree with y-all. RR IS cute, vivacious, and a super personality. She admits she is not a chef, merely an Italian girl from NY who loves to cook. Her food? If you ate what Emeril makes you would have had your first heart attack a long time ago. Why is she on TV? 'Cause a lot of folks like and watch her.

I like Rachael Ray. I'm too jealous of her to watch $40 a day because I'm too poor to go anywhere, I don't have that kind of money.

Her others shows have good, actually edible food and I don't mind so much when she says she's making a "Sammy" for sandwich in that cutesy way, it's not nearly as annoying as when Emeril Lagasse says "cimminamin" for cinnamon.

Much thanks to Food Channel for consistently bringing very watchable and interesting programming for many years and thanks to all those quirky chefs who bring/brought us so much good programming. What do I miss? What happened to "Door Knockers"? You know, the one where they invade strangers kitches and make gourmet items out of leftovers. That was sort of fun.

I'm not certain why the "author" of this article felt the need to refer to Rachael Ray as an "authoress." It's especially confusing since the person who wrote this article is a woman. I guess I was wrong in thinking that the the diminution of women is an antiquated one.

viv 7-12-2007 @ 8:48PM

True, she is not funny, but she is cute. A bit on the hyper side, but I guess that's her appeal. She's not fat. Ray Ray shouldn't lose anymore than 15lbs maybe

Jeannie 7-12-2007 @ 8:49PM

Rachel Ray is a wonderful cook, she will tell you straight up she isn't a chef but she can throw wonderful light meals together in no time. I love her personality, you have to love her and I do.

Sandra 7-12-2007 @ 8:52PM

Maybe I'm wrong,but didn't Oprah buy Rachael Ray a couple of years after she bought Dr. Phil?.Whatever you may think of Oprah,she seems to have a good eye for the merchandise.And as long as they are making her money,they will be on TV.What the public thinks of RR or Phil doesn't really matter,only the ratings matter.
