Gladys Knight's run on Dancing With The Stars may have come to an end, but the soulful singer will always have lasting effects from her stint as a dancer. Admitting that she started a diet program just before the latest season of the dance competition began, Knight says she dropped a total of 60 pounds while on the show. 
"[Tristan] helped [by] wearing me out," Knight said, adding that she got help from Freshology's Getslim with the Stars program to lose weight. "You've got to eat healthy and you've got to put a little movement into it." 
To help give her fuel for grueling rehearsals, Knight would have a PowerBar, a protein shake and fruit for breakfast.
