Julia Roberts is the one of the biggest superstars in Hollywood and yet has managed to maintain her reputation as the all American sweetheart her fans know and love.

The Oscar winning actress has had a string of high profile boyfriends including Kiefer Sutherland, Lyle Lovett, Benjamin Bratt before meeting and marrying cameraman husband Danny Moder.

Nowadays Julia prefers nights at home but still reigns as one of the leading actresses in Hollywood and appeared in the blockbuster film Charlie Wilson’s War that was released in 2007. Julia is also a regular feature on the Most Beautiful People, Highest Paid Actresses and the Most Influential Women lists – impressive huh!

The mum of three has a fantastic figure and even at 40 turns head like she always did. Read on to find out how Julia Robert’s achieves and most importantly maintains her weight

You’ll all know Julia from her worldwide breakthrough film Pretty Woman and consequent hits Notting Hill, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Runaway Bride and Erin Brockovich (and heaps more). In each of her films she’s managed to maintain a slim but natural looking appearance that leads many Mums to think HOW does she do it – so lets take a look!

Firstly Julia is the first to admit that her genes work well for her (that is her GENETICS not some miracle pair of Levis).

The 5 foot 9" actress says, ‘I have been working out, but listen, it is 97 percent genetics. Don’t let anybody tell you any crap about anything else, because that’s what it is: 97 percent genetics and 3 percent just get your ass moving. Because I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like"

I love that honesty

Other than that Julia gets her "a** moving" with pilates, yoga and light weight training. In the past Julia has also worked with trainer to the stars Kathy Kaelher – nothing like a trainer to get you into shape.

Diet-wise Julia does watch what she eats but isn’t into crazy fad diets. The actress eats stacks of organic vegetables (that she grows at her super eco-conscious home in California) and fills up on healthy salads, snacks and grilled fish.

However the star admits she’s a big meat eater and loves a good steak. The actress says, ‘Danny makes the best steaks. I’m a total meat eater and I don’t know how people do all these fabulous diets – I can’t do that.’

Julia’s favorite foods include curries, biscuits and her favourite drink is reportedly a "Scorpino" which is a mix of vodka, cream, liqueur and Italian rice.

So there you have it – nothing miraculous just the usual healthy foods and exercise! Good on you Julia, looking GREAT

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

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.

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 . . .
