Short Takes : ‘Won’t Diet Again,’ Oprah Says

Oprah Winfrey has put back on quite a few of the 67 pounds she shed during a crash diet two years ago, but she has no plans to starve herself thin again.

“I’ll never diet again,” the talk show host told her audience Monday. “I certainly will never fast again.”

Winfrey announced in 1989 that she had regained 17 of the 67 pounds she had lost the year before on a diet that consisted of weeks of drinking a high-protein powder mixed with water.

She didn’t disclose her weight Monday.
