Alanis Morisette Shed 20 Lbs + The Pics That Prove It
January 3, 2009 in Celebrity Weight & Measurements, Then and Now by Versus
On the left, Alanis in May 2008 during a concert and on the right, Alanis in December 2008. Looks like more than 20 lbs to me, but the second pic (and the ones after the jump) are in a magazine, and we all know what that could mean.
Here are the details of the weight loss story:
“I feel like a 12-year-old!” Alanis Morisette tells OK! of losing 20 pounds on her vegan diet, inspired by Eat to Liveby Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “I’m back to what I was born to be, at my best. I used to get out of bed in the morning and things were aching, and I just thought, this is what happens when you get into your 30s. But now I jump out of bed and have so much energy; I feel very alive.”
“I wasn’t interested in some fad diet that was unsustainable, like ‘lose 10 pounds in two weeks,’ ” she says of why she chose to go the vegan route. “I don’t believe in diets; I think they’re short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster.”
“When I’m out on tour, my shows are so physical that that really takes care of it,” Alanis explains of her exercising regimen. “When I’m not on tour, I do between a half hour to an hour of light weights, running, biking, swimming, probably five times a week. I also love to kickbox and dance.”
As for her boyfriend, attorney Tom Ballanco, he’s always been there for the svelte rocker. “He just cares about my well-being. He thought I was sexy at whatever weight that I’ve been. I’ve never felt loved in that way before.”

More pictures of the slimmer Alanis after the jump!
She looks a lot better.
Is she a pear, do you think? Although she looks a tad thick-waisted . . . what shape is she?
her arms look awesome!
She looks so much better…good for her!
@Runner Girl,
It was a little hard to identify her shape, because of the baggy clothes she usually wears – but yes, I think she is a pear.
Even though these magazine pictures don’t show it, most of her weight goes to her thighs, hips and some goes to her lower abdomen.

am glad she grew out her hair again
yeah she’s probably a pear cuz in the weight gain picture her legs look a lot fuller
when did she start wearing this type of clothes and especially shoes?!
was she pregnant in the first pic? (nothing offensive, just wondering) she looks super great now. awesome thighs and hips. looks like a pear indeed.
wasn’t she an hourglass a time back before the media was obsessing over her weight and she tried losing pounds?
@Change,
No, she wasn’t pregant, just 20 lbs heavier.
@Freedom,
It’s not very clear in her case – I thought she was a pear, but hourglass was my second guess.
Thanks for the update on her shape!
She looks GREAT in the leggings picture, ESPECIALLY given her “pear shape”
