Find Out What Was Behind Kirstie Alley’s Weight Loss

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Kirstie Alley has long come under media scrutiny for her yo yo’ing weight loss. The actress has never denied her struggle with her weight and has admitted that her weight once reached 219 pounds - a fact that left her in tears. In 2004 Kirstie Alley appeared on Oprah sharing intimate details about her weight battle, the next day she made a life changing decision.

After appearing on Oprah, Kirstie Alley decided enough was enough and chucked in her smoking habit and vowed to lose weight - for good! While reports have varied as to whether she has maintained her weight loss she DID reach her goal weight with a total weight loss of 75 pounds - an impressive feat!

Kirstie has been the victim of cruel tabloids for years with the paparazzi hounding her RELENTLESSLY with every outfit being critcised, every meal being reported and wild guesses at her current weight being splashed across magazines around the world. But it was these photos that shook her into action with Kirstie saying: "Thanks to the tabloids I went, ‘Damn, girl, you’re fat!"

Kirstie Alley’s Weight Loss Diet

Kirstie Alley Kirstie joined and subsequently became a spokesperson for the world famous weight loss program Jenny Craig. Picking from their list of 8000 pre-packaged meals Kirstie was able to lose an impressive 75 pounds after which she bravely stripped to a bikini on OPRAH!!!!!

Kirstie Alley’s weight loss diet incorporated loads of fresh veges and fruit PLUS the yummy Jenny Craig meals. Kirstie learnt about portion control and how to enjoy healthy food options rather than dread them.

Happily admitting she could never go through life without cake, Kirstie enjoyed Jenny Craig’s low fat dessert options as a treat! She also joined her friends when dining out but made sure she rung the restaurant ahead of time to ask about their low fat meals so she didn’t have to ask in front of everyone on the night - smart tip!!!

Her celebrity diet involved lots of lean protein, veges, fruit and some low fat dairy products. Here’s an example day in the kitchen of Kirstie Alley:

Breakfast - 1 small bowl of cereal, 1 glass low fat milk

Snack - 1 kiwifruit

Lunch - Chicken pasta salad, 1 tomato

Dinner - Roast Beef, Broccoli, Oven Potatoes

Snack - Small slice of Low Calorie Cheesecake

Kirstie Alley’s Exercise Regime

Kirstie LOOOOOOOOOOOOVESSSS to dance and incorporated this into her celebrity weight loss regime. A regular at the Alley Kat Dance Studios, Kirstie busts a move to burn some serious calories. This is a great way to exercise because its FUN and doesn’t even feel like work!

Kirstie also began circuit training. Alternating machines for about a minute each she then busts a move in between followed by a 20 minute dance session at the end of her workout. She says "I do this anywhere from four to six times a week. My routine is at least an hour. If it’s a day where I have lots and lots of energy and not a lot of things to do, I do it for two hours."

Kirstie Alley Weight Loss Motivation

Kirstie strongly recommends (as do I) starting a weight loss program with friends/family. When Kirstie joined Jenny Craig so did 10 of her friends. They were all able to motivate each other, hold each other accountable and just be there for each other - a HUGE benefit!

Kirstie also allocated special treats for each goal. . . after x amount of weight loss she would allow herself to buy new, SMALLER clothes then after x more pounds she treated herself to a mini-vacation. This is a great way to keep yourself aiming higher and higher and congratulating yourself too!

I truly hope Kirstie manages to keep off the weight and enjoy her newfound freedom. She’s a great inspiration for people who feel like they’re losing themselves in their weight problems - make the decision, start the diet and reap the rewards!

Goodluck Kirstie :)

Britney Spears Fit Body - How She Lost Her Baby Weight

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Britney Spears has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently and I am NOT about to jump on that bandwagon. I am however to going talk about how Britney Spears’ fit body radically emerged back in 2006 after losing all her baby weight within months. Read on to find out how she achieved this radical celebrity weight loss

britney spears fit body Britney reportedly gained about 40 pounds during her pregancy in 2006 and was not keen on having it sticking around after the baby. From what the reports say Britney Spears got her fit body back quickly through exercise and a healthy diet. Don’t be fooled by sites that push their diet pills and attribute them to her new, fit body.

Britney Spears fit post-birth body would have been helped along HEAPS by breast feeding which is a huge calorie burner. Experts say that nursing mums burn up to 600 calories in a day!

Britney reportedly hit the treadmill six mornings a week for about an hour each session. For best results on the treadmill up the incline. You will find that even walking on an incline will burn more calories than jogging on the flat. Obviously this might not be suitable for new mums, check with your doctor before starting any post-birth exercise.

Along with the morning cardio, reports say Britney Spears earned her fit body with some evening strength training and tummy crunches. Again any mums should check with their doctor before lifting any weights either during their pregnancy or after the birth.

Britney Spears also re-thought her diet to lose the weight gained during pregnancy. Britney is said to have eaten 5 small meals a day with lots of protein and veges with low fat yoghurt and nuts as snacks. She bid goodbye to her much loved Taco Bell and other junk foods to kick the baby weight to the curb.

New mums should always talk to their doctor before making the move to lose weight after birth. Your body will be very sensitive especially if you have had a caesarean.

Congrats to Britney for earning that fit body so soon after child birth!

Hope she gets well soon :)

Does Beyonce Diet? Get The Goss On This Bootylicious Celeb

Monday, March 31st, 2008

The truth behind Beyonce’s diet has been requested HEAPS by our readers and so I’ve decided to include it in our celebrity weight loss section. This stunning star shed 20 pounds before starring in the movie Dreamgirls by amazingly sticking to The Master Cleanse diet.

Nooooow before I get into this post I want to say I do NOT recommend fasting as a means of weight loss. The weight loss you experience will NOT last and there are far easier and more successful ways to lose weight. . . .

beyonce diet Beyonce is a singer, actress, producer and designer - to name a few! This beautiful star has sold millions of albums around the globe and graced movie screens in Dreamgirls, Austin Powers, The Pink Panther and more. Its safe to say this 26 year old is GOING PLACES and she won’t be alone she has been with music industry extraordinaire Jay-Z since 2002!

Now back to The Master Cleanse Diet - Beyonce admits she followed this somewhat drastic diet just before filming commenced. When interviewed on the Oprah show she said "I did a fast - a master cleanser for 14 days. Everybody was eating Krispy Kremes around me. I was grouchy, but I did it and I lost the weight."

One of my close friends also did The Master Cleanse she kept it up for 8 days (an AMAZING effort if you ask me) but she says she would never do it again. She said its not so much the hunger that got to her but just the mental torture of not physically eating for so long!

So what is the now dubbed "Beyonce Diet" all about?

Well the Master Cleanse is a fast/detox that lasts for 10 days. Basically you drink this "lemonade" concoction for every meal during the 10 days.

The "lemonade" mixture is made up of:

3 Quarts of Water
1 Cup of Pure Maple Syrup
1 Cup Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon Cayenne

Shake it all up and drink 8 to 10 glasses a day.

Also because of the lack of fibre in your diet you have to drink/take laxative products. Just a heads up you do NOT want to take them if you have to leave the house in the following 2-3 hours (you can imagine why. . .)

While the detox principle is a good idea from time to time to rid your body of toxins I don’t truly believe that The Master Cleanse fulfils that purpose. There are heaps of different detox’s which involve whole foods and healthier results - not to mention NO laxatives.

But at the end of the day you’ve got the scoop that WAS the Beyonce Diet.

We love you with your curves Beyonce :)

How Does Cindy Crawford Get THOSE Muscles

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Cindy Crawford is one of the original ‘Supermodels’ and justifiably so. . . she is GORGEOUS! Still gracing the media circuit (and more recently the furniture world) this mum of two still turns heads everywhere she goes!

Married to the equally yummy entrepreneur Rande Gerber for almost 10 years, Cindy Crawford continues to leave the average gal in awe with her confidence, grace and of course THAT body. So how does Cindy Crawford get those muscles and that physique? We’ve got the scoop

Cindy Crawford started modelling at just 15 and went on to become one of the biggest models of ALL TIME gracing the covers of over 600 magazines across the globe. Her success on the runway has been matched off the runway with her many business ventures making her a very wealthy and respected business woman on the global market - talk about a role model!!!

Giving birth to two children (son Presley and daughter Kaia) has not stopped this supermum from maintaining the figure that makes us all go green with envy and simultaneously swear off chocolate for a month. Her seemingly effortless sex appeal leaves everyone scratching their heads and wondering HOW does Cindy Crawford get THOSE muscles?

Cindy’s Exercise Regime

Cindy Crawford24 During her runway reign Cindy Crawford kept fit with New York trainer Radu Teodorescu. Radu had Cindy trim and taut with a combination of cardio and strength training 3 times a week. The workout involved 20 minutes on the Stair Master followed by an hour of strength training combining some free weight exercises with some machines.

Following the birth of her children Cindy was ready to get her body back! When asked how she did this the down to earth celeb said: "Hard work and Kathy Kaehler". Kathy Kaehler is a well known fitness guru in the States who eventually paired up with Cindy to create a 3 in 1 workout video called A New Dimension - which is still a huge seller today (I’m thinking of buying it myself!)

Nowadays Cindy works with her personal trainer of over a decade, Valerie Waters, to keep in shape. She combines cardio, strength training and a healthy balanced diet. Keep an eye out for Valerie’s weekly tips here at UWLS.

Living near the beach has also added depth to Cindy’s fitness regime - she is often photographed running around with the kids on the sand or taking a dip with hubby Rande.

Cindy’s Diet

Obviously a large part of how Cindy Crawford gets those muscles can be attributed to her exercise regime but the other huge contributer is her celebrity diet. Cindy does not starve herself or jump on the bandwagons of every fad diet she approaches her eating with a healthy but realistic outlook.

Cindy adheres to a low carb, high protein diet BUT has learnt not to forbid herself the occasional treat. She says, "As soon as I feel I’m not allowed something, that’s what I want. I watch the carbs a bit more these days, but I don’t cut them out. I still have days where I think: Forget it, I’m going to have pasta or bread.-

Cindy Crawford’s celebrity diet incorporates lots of salads, veges and lean protein like chicken and eggs. A day in Cindy’s kitchen would look like this:

Breakfast - Egg White Omelette or Fruit with Yoghurt
Lunch - Salad with Chicken
Dinner - Fish/Chicken with Veges

Cindy snacks mid morning and mid afternoon on EAS Advantage Carb-Control Bars.

Cindy’s Lifestyle

What has struck me the most about Cindy Crawford is her well-rounded approach to her life. She eats well but enjoys food and doesn’t deprive herself the occasional treat. She exercises alot but enjoys being fit and nuturing her body. . . Cindy has made healthy living her LIFESTYLE and not just another celebrity diet.

So what is Cindy’s secret to looking so amazing in her forties?

Cindy Crawford Cindy has learnt that taking care of herself is really the answer. She says that 3 things account for your condition: "One your genes, Two how you treat your body inside and Three how you treat your body outside". She recommends water, sleep, food, cleansing and moisturising.

I think alot can be learnt from this beautiful lady who has lasted the distance in the industry. Perhaps instead of turning to the latest stick thin socialite girl we should look up to people like Cindy who have made healthy eating their way of life and have enjoyed success in all areas.

Well Done Cindy!!!

How Does Scarlett Johansson Get THOSE Measurements!

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Scarlett Johansson has graced our screens in movies including The Island, The Black Dahilia and more recently The Other Boelyn Girl. Lets face it she is one SMOKING girl! Scarlett exudes sex appeal, confidence and femininity AND shes not stick thin.

In a world where we’re bombarded with dangerously thin celebs Scarlett Johansson is a welcome weight loss inspiration. We’ve been flooded with questions asking us to add Scarlett Johansson to our celebrity weight loss section. Everyone is dying to get in on her celebrity weight loss secrets.

Scarlett Johansson is constantly photographed flaunting her sexy curves and isn’t afraid to speak out on the dangerous Size Zero epidemic that is sweeping Hollywood.

When questioned about the pressure to be stick thin Scarlett said, "I think that being ultrathin is not sexy at all. Women shouldn’t be forced to conform to unrealistic and unhealthy body images that the media promote. I don’t need to be skinny to be sexy."

YOU GO GIRL!!

So what are Scarlett Johansson’s measurements?

Most celeb sites put this bootylicious star at around a size 4 to 6 and there is no denying she wears it well. Rather than starving herself to the point of insanity Scarlett has come to terms with the fact she will never be "6ft tall and 120 pounds" and thus has learnt to love herself and flaunt what shes got. . .

Scarlett admits to indulging in a hot slice of veggie pizza, a big olde slice of key lime pie and a diet coke from time to time but keeps trim and fabulous with lean protein, veges and a little carb on the side.

She keeps in tip top shape by walking LOTS and doing yoga from time to time. Walking as the experts have said time and time again IS one of the easiest and most effective means of keeping healthy and losing weight. Studies show that walking 30 mins a day for 6 days a week is a FANTASTIC starting point.

I tell you what if only all celebs were as sensible when it comes to their body! Scarlett is a great advocate for women around the world, we might not be size 0 but can still look DAM FINE!!

Good on you Scarlett :)

What Are Jessica Simpsons Diet Secrets?

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Everyone has seen this bouncy blonde on MTV video clips, on her semi-cheesy Newlyweds reality show, splashed over your girly mags and strutting in her boots across the screen on the Dukes Of Hazzard film. You might be wondering just what diet does this beautiful girl-next-door follow… Well we’ve decided to get the scoop and find out what IS the Jessica Simpson Diet!

Divorced from fellow singer Nick Lachey in 2006 this American superstar’s weight has fluctuated only a little during her time in the spotlight. Her tiny height and generous top half gives rise to a curvaceous but fit figure that many men AND women have admired.

jessica simpson diet Her fitness efforts were well publicized in the lead up to the Dukes of Hazzard film as she worked her butt off LITERALLY to get trim and terrific for the part. Reports say that her personal trainer, Mike Alexander, lived with her and sat through EVERY meal to ensure she was eating the right stuff (now that is tough!)

Mike Alexander made sure Jessica ate a combination of lean proteins such as chicken and fish along with great low GI carbs and heaps of green veges like brocolli and asparagus. Jessica said NO to extra sugar in her drinks, bread and ALL desserts during the hardcore pre-production months.

There are rumours circulating that she may have gotten inspiration from the well known South Beach Diet also followed by Sex and the City favourites Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Catrall.

Jessica Simpson’s exercise plan in the leadup to wearing THOSE tiny shorts in the film included 30 minutes of cardio and an hour of strength training everyday! Jessica credited her new booty to LOTS of squats, lunges and squat jumps. Other exercises experts have attributed to that shapely physique are light incline treadmill, leg extensions, crunches and bicep curls.

So there you have it . . .

A low carb/high protein diet with cardio and strength training - now its time for YOU to transform into your OWN Daisy Duke!!!!

Calotren: The Protein Express To Losing Weight

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Calotren is an all-natural protein formula that works as a dietary supplement, assisting the body in metabolizing excess toxins and fats naturally. It does not starve your nor play tricks on your body. What it does is that it simply supports the natural functions of lean muscle tissues in burning off sugars and fats, as well as providing fuels essential to these functions. For those not in need of weight loss, it can instead be used for additional energy and stamina.

Why is it effective?

is effective because of its protein formula containing the most prevalent protein in the body. Basic to the structure of the body, protein is associated with a lot of major bodily functions. It is effective because it provides the body with proteins that are already broken down, ready for absorption and utilization in the body. With the assimilation of amino acids, muscle tissues are easily built and strengthened, leading to an increase in the body-s ability to burn off fats and sugars efficiently.

Benefits

** Safe, all-natural
** Doesn-t contain stimulants, caffeine, ephedrine, or amphetamines
** Doesn-t interfere with medication
** No muscle loss
** Assists in muscle toning
** Helps strengthen joints
** Helps increase stamina and energy
** Shortens workout recovery time
** Reduces wrinkles as well as age spots
** No strict dieting required
** Promotes an overall sense of well-being

Directions for use

Take four Calotren capsules with a full glass of water (or water with lemon, if you like), before you sleep, on an empty stomach. An empty stomach means that you have not eaten or drank anything except water for a period of at least three hours before taking your capsules.

Taking your capsules on an empty stomach allows Calotren to be absorbed more easily into the body, helping it work more efficiently for the first 45 to 90 minutes of your sleep, during which the body is hard work using available collagen and various other nutrients for repairs.

For accelerated results, you may opt to take four more capsules 30 to 45 minutes before you eat breakfast. For a boost of energy, capsules may also be taken before exercise. If you are scheduled to take your capsules, and you don-t have an empty stomach, don-t worry. Not taking your capsules on an empty stomach does not render the product ineffective. Absorption rates are the only ones affected.
