“I know that it’s going to be a tight season and we are gonna have some fun. It’s gonna be great and the dancing will be better than ever,” Alfonso told People. “And I’ve lost 20 pounds, so now I’m like, ‘Oh, I think I might look a little better when they ask me to do some of the little dances in the opening numbers.’ So you know, I am ready to rock.”
Last year, Alfonso revealed that his family changed up their diets to only eat “non-toxic” foods because of a health situation that his son was battling at the time.
“He had a health issue and we learned how to feed him,” Alfonso said on the Tamron Hall Show in October 2023. “We live a completely non-toxic life where we don’t eat any sugar, gluten-free, corn-free, dairy-free, oats-free, anything that makes you swollen, we typically stay away from.”
He added, “It is so crazy, like, we will all put ‘super unleaded’ in our cars but we’ll put below ‘regular’ in our bodies, right? And you wonder why we have so much cancer and just health issues. People are always in pain. [Since] learning how to eat properly, I am no longer in pain. I live a virtually pain-free life because nothing’s swollen, right?”
