Amy Winehouse Gains Weight On Junk Food Diet | On The Road To Recovery?
For the past few months we’ve all been very worried about Amy Winehouse’ state of mind and also physical health. Not only has she been abusing her body with stack loads of drugs of all variations, she has lost an incredible amount of weight… too much in fact.
We all know the reason for Amy’s recent dramatic weight loss, so it fills me with some pleasure that she seems to be making an effort to gain weight now, after turning to a diet of fast food. Maybe I’m just being hopeful but could this be the first sign that Amy wants to start being a bit healthier?
It’s weird to be equating fast food with healthy eating but when you are as painfully stick thin as Amy, anything which makes you put weight on and fast has got to be good. But will this be of any benefit if she doesn’t also come off drugs at the same time?
Winehouse has apparently eaten McDonalds for the last 7 days and gained an incredible stone in weight already. Also high on her menu has been carb heavy Caribbean food such as yams, dumplings, bananas, jerk chicken and rice and peas.
At the depths of Amy Winehouse‘ ‘problem period’ a few weeks ago she was thought to have slumped to just 6 and a half stone in weight, and resembled a stick insect… a drug addict one at that.
Come on Amy, keep it up, get to a healthier weight and stay there. Also, you know that place they call Rehab, it’s time you swallowed your pride, ignored your own song, and gave it a go. It can’t be all bad!

Dave - I definitely prefer the ‘fatter’ Amy. she’s such a beautiful girl, the skeletal look does nothing for her!

Thanks for such kind words.
It’s you’re not your.
That photo is indeed from a few years, I used it just to demonstrate what a state she is now in.

“and life is like a pipe & I’m a penny rolling up the walls inside” - “Back to black”
Crack cocaine is smoked in a pipe. She loves puff and she’s letting the pipe smoke her. Oh boy.
It’s going to be hard for Amy but SHE has to want to be healthy and drug free. It’s her call no matter what is said to her or about her. I’m hoping for her strength to kick in. Amy is very passionate about love. I hope she learns to love herself and be passionate about her life.

Matt, I take it you can’t read then because it quite clearly states who wrote this article, namely me.
Also, you need your eyes testing anyway because that is Amy Winehouse in both pictures. One is from a few years ago before the drugs started having an effect on her looks.

Dave - thank you for this article and the noted differences and comparison. I find it interesting how the people who post here find it necessary to use foul and angry language. So offensive and so very unnecessary. I mean, come on people! You look so foolish when you post erroneous comments to the author or nasty comments to other posters who are just trying to understand.

Hey Dominik - I think Dave knows the “bigger” Amy is from years ago. If it is not clear from the article, confirmation of this is in the posts. Why does no one here get it?
Dominik

okay, but why does he take an old pic to show that amy looks healthier today???
i thinks thats nonesense

i think she looks better thinner. she may have taken it a bit too far, but less seems is more seems to be working for her.

The person above of me saying that she looks “better” thinner is simply perpetuating the problem. Girls are starving themselves around the globe to achieve Amy’s look: drug addicted. Her skinniness is not natural, and anyone saying that she looks better that way is harming women deeply.

Raechael is absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
allen did you read or watched any news???
how many girls around the world die because of people like you??????????????
you should ashame yourself about your post allen!!!!!!!!!

Amy looks fantastic in the photo on the right- she is one of the most mesmerizing, talented, and beautiful vocalists I have ever seen. I hope she gets well soon.
..but- I think that Allen is entitled to his opinion. It is not some random guy’s fault that Amy or any other female is overly thin. Attitude’s about female beauty are institutionalized– and reinforced by men AND women that make money within the fashion and entertainment industries.

uh, this before and after is the opposite. The pic on the left is her heroin addicted extacy & weed addicted crack smoking skinny ass, and the pic on the right is what she looked like a few years (and a few tats) ago. If you want to see her TODAY, go to http://www.thesuperficial.com, and you’ll see daily updates. I don’t work for them, but I’ve followed the Winehouse saga on that site with daily paparazi snaps. Like last night when in a drug addicted haze she wandered off to the market in the middle of the night with a glazed look in her eyes and one shoe missing from the picture.
This “Amy getting fat” is a fiction. The person who keeps angrily defending this article is a fraud - one response said, “I know it’s not current. This is a representation of what she looks like” (or something to that effect) - is that like the “actual dramatizations” in the truck commercials? You mean it’s *real bullshit*?
Please. How can you have something like this live on the web. Are you that desperate for attention? Show me PROOF of Amy fattening up or shut the hell up with this misinformation/photoshop opportunity. I’ve seen that SAME picture, switched around with the opposite headline on countless sites including the Superficial. Nice.

i dont know if you are able to think on your own but its like you said paparazzi pictures and paparazzi do everything to keep a rumor or any gossip about stars running because they want to make money out of embarrising fotos and thats the only way for them to get so much money for these photos.
did you seen amy at brit music awards????
she looks healthier for real!!!!!!
she isnt that thin anymore!!!!

What is the significance of “Back to Black”

her tattoo is on the wrong arm in the thicker picture…

I have the urge to state again that the second picture (on the right) is an older picture of her.
Notice how she doesn’t have tattoos?..
Also, Dave, if you knew that, you should have stated that because you’re using false imagery to aid in your point.
In regards to your article, she has not gained weight.. Especially not as much as you’ve claimed.. So I don’t know what you’re talking about, and how you come up with these assumptions.

Kat,
Seriously- what’s the problem? This article does NOTHING to imply that the photo on the right is more recent than the one on the left.
The article describes a possible recent gain in weight:
“Winehouse has apparently eaten McDonalds for the last 7 days”
Exactly from what statement in this article are you taking that the Author is using photographs to show a gain in weight from SEVEN DAYS. Are you kidding? Who would imagine that someone could gain what appears to be something like 25% of her body mass back in 7 days????
Additionally- the author describes Winehouse’s painfully thin appearance as worrisome:
“At the depths of Amy Winehouse‘ ‘problem period’ a few weeks ago she was thought to have slumped to just 6 and a half stone in weight”
Exactly how many of the individuals commenting here did more than read the title of the article and look at the pictures before blessing us with your analysis and scripted response.
The ignorance on display here is amazing.

Ahem* Dave,
here you are correcting grammer and defending yourself when in actuality, the way this article is written:it appears that the fatter Amy is more recent. Who’s the f***ing idiot again?

“Winehouse has apparently eaten McDonalds for the last 7 days and gained an incredible stone in weight already” u tried to make us think the chubby pic of her was her after putting on weight, like, before and after photos. This is my first time visiting this site and givin the first story I read on here was filled with lies I probably won’t be returning. ur stories aren’t credible, stop writing lies!!

Yea, and her tattoos magically DISAPPEAR in the second photo.
Who are you trying to fool? Ever heard of photoshop? at least add some tats if you are going to try and fool us.

The second photo is old, from around the time she released her first album. You are the worst reporter who ever lived.
Dan

Again, the writer is covering the fact that it’s been RUMORED that Amy has been eating heavy foods for a week or so…
and “making an effort to gain weight”.
NOT that the photo on the right is most recent!!
These comments are proof of the fact that young people have little or non-existent deductive reasoning skills.
Weird. Are the people commenting here British or American? If the latter I can plainly see now how Bush got elected for a second term.
The earlier photo (on the right) is only shown to exaggerate how horribly gaunt Amy had become in the months prior,
by showing what she used to look like!!
Yes- most Western people read from left to right, and therefore assign a chronological value to the photos though none was stated or even implied.
…are you getting this?
