Enjoy this candid interview with a trainer who’s clients are obvious proof of her talent and experience!

5. What foods do you think should be in everyone’s daily diet?

If you want to be lean you must eat your veggies! This is the cornerstone of every diet book and the number 1 rule of every fit body you see. Other great foods are Oatmeal, blueberries, wild salmon, grass fed beef, free range eggs, and quinoa to name a few.

6. What’s your favourite healthy food/meal?

I love breakfast! One of my favorites is an egg white omelette with lots of veggies. Sushi is my favorite for dinner. When I am being really good I order Sashimi and one roll without rice. And when I’m not being good, I eat the rice.

7. What’s your favorite naughty/cheat food?

Movie popcorn with peanut M&M’s mixed in.

8. What exercise should EVERYONE do?

Weight training is the single most important thing you should be doing. If you are worried about bulking up, then follow a circuit strength program like Red Carpet Ready. The program will ask you to do 3 full body strength workouts and 1-2 cardio sessions per week.

1-2 times per week of yoga is great. And cardio doesn-t have to be boring. Go hiking with a friend. Take up surfing or mountain biking. I have a couple of clients taking pole dancing and they love it. Working out takes some effort but it should be fun too!

9. What’s your favourite workout or exercise?

I love a really great strength circuit. I want to work hard, get sweaty and feel tired afterwards. There is nothing better than the buzz you get from a great workout!

I also love yoga. I don’t always want to go, but afterwards I’m glad I did. For recreation, I surf. I’m not very good but I have fun while burning a ton of calories.

You’re going to learn heaps from this part as Valerie gives us the scoop on how you can get a celebrity body too!

10. What do you think is different about your approach?

Unlike 90% of my peers, I understand what a woman means when she says she doesn-t want to get too muscular. This is a real fear. I have had countless women come to me over the years frustrated because the program they were on bulked them up or made their quads too big. Many gave up on weight training all together before finding their way to me.

I believe in weight training but I also believe women can get -too muscular- for what they desire. I have created very specific programming that will get them toned and fit but still 100% feminine.

I can add curves in the right places while still allowing them to feel small. Other women want to get really strong and athletic looking. I applaud that. I can create that look too (I think it-s easier) but that is not my niche. My girls want to look Red Carpet Ready!

11. What do you love most about Red Carpet Ready?

That you can get amazing results without spending 2 hours per day in the gym. I think the program teaches you how to change your behavior. While it is a 6 week program, I know that long after the six weeks are over you will have the tools and motivation to continue working out and eating the Red Carpet Ready way.

12. What can you expect your body to look like with Red Carpet Ready?

Red Carpet Ready will help you transform your body. The program will give you :

* A great, rounded butt
* Toned but lean legs
* Slim waist
* Flat, feminine stomach
* Toned, slim arms (not too muscular)
* Sculpted back

13. Leave us with a quote. . .

I believe in the power of exercise to change your state. No matter how much you don’t want to workout you are always happy you did. My clients are trained on my motto, You are just one workout away from a good mood.

THE VALSLIDE

Jennifer Garner is one of Valerie Water’s favorite clients and BOY is she smoking hot – and she’s had TWO children!

So what does she credit her amazing body too? The Valslide of course!

Here’s what Jen had to say about the Valslide…

The Valslide® is a wonder. It can slide into an overnight bag, it’s easy and safe to use when you have a tweak knee or muscle and you immediately feel the results after using it for the first time. It’s deceptively simple and incredibly effective.

Valerie’s developed a program called Red Carpet Ready through her work with celebrities. Ready Carpet Ready is a 6 week full body transformation incorporating a healthy diet and an easy to use exercise program.

1. How long have you been working a personal trainer?

I have been a personal trainer for 18 years and I still love it!

2. What do you love most about the industry?

I love turning people on to fitness and watching how their self esteem and confidence increases as they become more fit. I love learning about new fun ways to get and stay fit and then sharing it with my clients. This is actually a very exciting to be in this business. The industry has really grown in the last 5-6 years and continues to evolve.

3. What do you love most about working with celebrities specifically?

I love training all kinds of people but celebrities are particularly fun for a couple of reasons.

Usually when I get a call from a celebrity, it is because of an upcoming movie role, photo shoot or red carpet event they-re getting ready for. This makes them very motivated. Anytime you have a highly motivated client, you are more likely to see results quickly. Then of course, other people notice how great they look and you have a walking “buildboard.”

Tune in soon for Part 3!

Weight loss fad diets are everywhere! They’re in our magazines, on the television, on in internet and sometimes even on your radio.

A typical weight loss fad diet is often promoted by any or all of the above and others even add to the programs with their own self-made supplements and food ala’ Weight Watchers, LA Weight Loss and more.

What you need to watch out for is that some of these weight loss fad diets don’t have even the faintest medical or scientific backing.

Read on for some tips on weight loss fad diets.

Unhealthy?

Many experts that have tested and reviewed weight loss fad diet varieties often report that these diets can be unhealthy. Since they are termed -fad-, chances are, they are only good for a certain period of time and the limitations can lead people to binge eat when they’ve had enough.

Also if a person jumps from one weight loss fad diet to another it can be unhealthy the body as you may face nutrition deficiencies and general stress from the yo-yo dieting.

The Categories

There are 3 categories where a weight loss fad diet can be identified. These categories determine what kind of dieting is being promoted:

1. Certain foods are omitted from your diet
2. There is an emphasis on eating one very specific area of food
3. The benefits of certain foods and food groups are purported and exaggerated for curing particular diseases

Extreme diets

A weight loss fad diet can be dangerous to your health and overall can prove to be a highly ineffective means of losing weight especially long term.

Fad diets can leave you feeling lethargic, with vitamin/mineral deficiencies and going mad with cravings!

Claims

A huge number of weight loss fad diets cannot be supported by scientific studies or research. In other words, these diets claim to have fantastic results and scientific proof but they never follow the standard methods for proving their effectiveness and validity.

Some people from scientific and medical communities often remark that fad diets are a result of the lack of knowledge on dietary and nutritional facts paired with the desperation of wanting to lose weight.

According to them, there is a lack of evidence on weight loss due to calorie restriction. Furthermore, there is a lack of evidence supporting the claims that fad diets can help achieve and maintain sustainable weight loss. Also, they point out that these diets ignore the necessary associations between human health and dietary and nutritional patterns.

Examples of fad diets

There are thousands around but here’s a list of some of the most notorious:

* The Cabbage Soup Diet
* The Hollywood Diet
* Atkins Diet
* LA Weight Loss
* Cybergenics
* Master Cleanse

And the list goes on . . .
