Celebrity Diet

Star Health secrets according to People Magazine. People is better known for it’s gossip and celebrity exploits rather than diet tips but here is a sample of what they believe is going to help stars stay looking great in ’08.

They recommend focusing on one new healthy habit each day. Here is a list:

Fergie- Adds Vinegar. Swallows 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar after lunch and dinner.

Ryan Seacrest – Used to be fat! Relies on protein from fish. Eats a big plate of raw fish before live shows of AI.

Eva Longoria – Drink More Water. Takes in 3 liters a day! Drink half your body weight in ounces. So how much does that mean she weighs? Well it means she weighs 200 lbs. I think she drinks her ACTUAL body weight in ounces.

Katherine Heigl – Eat mini meals. She is apparently on the 5 factor diet or at least she is paid to be and eats 5 high protein meals.

Kelly Ozborne – Ban booze. I mean ban booze? Say what? She did? "I stopped doing drugs and drinking," the actress told PEOPLE. "The weight literally dropped off." The reason? "Drinking alcohol is like eating sugar with a spoon," says Pachella. If you can't completely ban booze, indulge in one glass of red wine or a lower-calorie cocktail such as rum-and-Diet Coke.

Alicia Silverstone – Go Veggie! Eat more vegetables. They fill you up because they contain fiber and an added bonus is they provide antioxidants.

Gweneth Paltrow – Drink Green Tea. Do it instead of snacking, increase water intake as well as antioxidants. If you don’t like green, go ahead and try white.

Kirstie Alley – Snack Sugar Free. Not sure about this one, I’ve heard sugar free may make you more hungry. However it does work great for mindless munching like jell-o with cool whip or sugar free popcicles. If your in the mood to just eat and not think about calories, sugar free aint a bad way to go, but be careful because too much will cause gas and bloating.

Jennifer Aniston – Try budukon, it’s a combination of martial arts, yoga, and meditation.

Alicia Keys – Refresh at the spa. Yeah, wouldn’t we all love to just be able to do this? Well, if you can go whenever you need a little time to de-stress then good for you!

Celebrity Diet and Exercise Secrets for Summer

Now, that we know Courtney Love didn’t get a gastric band, she is revealing to People magazine just how she lost 52 pounds since December 2006. Last week I talked about her response to the rumors in a barely comprehendible blog and now she is giving us her secret to success. The boat is still out in my book on whether or not she is clean after her blog (Or maybe she just isn’t literate).

“The singer says she's dropped the 52 lbs. since Dec. 21, starting out drinking 1,200-calorie Isopure shakes during the day and eating fish and vegetables at night. She also added a fitness routine that incorporated running on a treadmill, Pilates and yoga. She also had her breast implants removed. "I just quietly did it, you know?" she says.”

We always see pictures of celebrities out at night clubbing, on set, or walking hand in hand with their latest hubby with a starbucks in hand. There have been a lot of pictures lately showing celebrities leaving the gym. These ladies work hard for their bodies. Check out his picture of Jessica Alba leaving the gym. She is drenched with sweat. Wonder what she did inside?




Other celebrities frequently photographed leaving the gym are Cameron Diaz, Fergie and Jessica Biel. Jennifer Aniston is often shown running around LA and more recently Tori Spelling and her husband were also photographed jogging together around tinsel town.
They reveal in this week’s In Touch magazine how they stay in shape and are preparing for bikini season (which is year round for globe trotting celebs if you ask me.)

Vanessa Minnillo says that she eats four small meals a day. Beyonce hula-hoops for hours on end. Cameron Diaz eats whatever she wants but exercises like a fiend. Pink’s trainer has her drink a special “fat-burning” lemonade for 11 days. Jessica Biel eats five protein and veggie meals a day. Denise Richard counts calories. Scarlett Johanson still has age and metabolism on her side and does little to stay in shape, which is also why she is not a member of the scary skinny crowd. Rod Stewart’s daughter and Paris Hilton BFF (at one point) Kimberly Stewart reveals that she keeps her figure in check with a healthy diet and an exercise regime of yoga, spinning, running and, more unusually, pole dancing lessons.

Feel free to post any tips you have or if you know any other secrets of celebs, but these aren’t really secrets in my opinion, just different approaches to healthy lifestyles (sans Pink).
