277 - LB. Rachael: Diet or Die!

TV chef packs on staggering 105 lbs. as show fails and marriage hits skids.

- 

FACING the end of her fizzling cooking show and trapped in a divorce crisis, stressed-out TV chef Rachael Ray has packed on a fridge-busting 105 pounds — and her yo-yoing weight threatens to send her to an early grave!

Recent photos reveal the 5-foot-3 former kitchen cutie has plumped out to a gut-busting 277 pounds!

The 48-year-old cook was rail thin in 2003, ballooned by more than 50 pounds in 2008, and then lost nearly all of that by 2009, GLOBE previously reported.

Now, her figure’s mushroomed again — putting her health at risk, according to top doctors.

Rachael has gained “over 105 pounds,” says Dr. Stuart Fischer, who has not treated her. “It’s grotesque — especially coming from a supposed health expert and diet guru!

“The excess pounds she’s now carrying bring the definite possibility of high cholesterol, diabetes, heart failure or even cancer.”
