"Frasier-Lite" is an episode of the US sitcom Frasier from its eleventh season.

[edit] Plot summary

The KACL team has a weight loss competition with a competing radio station. The whole team pigs out just before the first weigh-in just in order to bloat the original numbers. Frasier, however, refuses to participate in such an act of "blatant unsportsmanship". In the episode's sub-plot, a pigeon flies into Frasier's glass window. Niles and Martin take it upon themselves to nurse it back to health.

At the initial weigh-in, Frasier recognizes one of his "mortal enemies" from his high school days participating on the opposing team. The two make a bet on the outcome of the winner, with Frasier's dignity pitted up against a new chess set.

The KACL team undergoes increasingly extreme measures to lose weight, including a complete fast 24 hours before the final weigh-in. Furthermore, Frasier has converted his bathroom into a sauna, and invites the entire KACL team to use the steam room to shed some more weight before the final weigh-in.

In conclusion of the sub-plot, Eddie steals the pigeon out of the box that it was in and eats it. This has the added benefit that it makes all the KACL members lose their appetites, allowing them to survive the final hours of the competition without eating.

At the final weigh-in, the KACL team loses by a mere 2 ounces, Roz then cuts off her hair, and KACL wins the competition.
