The Ultimate Weight Loss Secret

Madonna is one of the biggest stars of all time and even as her 50th birthday looms closer the star continues to be in astounding shape.

The singer, song writer, actress and producer has been in the limelight since 1982 when she was signed by Sire Records and released her debut album Madonna. From there it snowballed and now she has sold over 200 million records and starred in more than 20 films.

The mum of three is still touring and recently recorded a hit single with none other than Justin Timberlake and is showing no signs of slowing - or gaining weight for that is!

Read on to get the scoop on Madonna’s diet and how she maintains her trademark physique.

Madonna’s Diet

Madonna’s diet is just the first indication of her steel-hard discipline and commitment to looking her best. Madonna follows the Macrobiotic diet and has done for many years now.

The Macrobiotic Diet is what I consider a HARD CORE diet. The diet is high fiber, low fat and is rich in whole grains, veges, soy and of course no dairy, no junk and little to no meat.

Here’s what makes up Madonna’s diet (Macrobiotic style):

* Grains including brown rice, barley, rye etc
* Soy/Vege based soups like Miso
* Steamed and raw vegetables
* Beans and bean based products like tofu
* Small amounts of fish or seafood
* Soy products (no dairy allowed)
* Lots of chewing - 50 times per mouthful
* Natural sweeteners like maple syrup

Madonna eats organic foods like the ones mentioned above and has a strict no junk food diet. Although the starlet admits that she does enjoy the VERY occasional ale after the influence of her English hubby got the better of her.

In terms of restaurant foods Madonna tends to avoid it saying, ‘I don’t really eat food in restaurants -” you can never be sure what’s in it, can you?’

Madonna is the epitome of a healthy eater but even if you can’t stick to her strict principles around the clock even adding a few of these principles into your own lifestyle would do a world of good.

Madonna’s Exercise Regime

Madonna is an exercise fiend to say the least and the mega star is renowned for her muscular physique that defies her years!

While reports vary about her EXACT routine its understood the star practices Ashtanga Yoga 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. Madonna is also said to be a regular at a local Pilates studio where she is often joined by fellow celebs and gal pals Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney.

Cardio also has a firm place in Madonna’s life with StairMaster, cycling, weight training, karate and swimming said to be on her main list of activities. There was even a claim that the star maintained her 45 minute a day StairMaster routine until the DAY before giving birth to daughter Lourdes!

So there you have it - Madonna’s Diet and Exercise Regime! Impressive huh! I suppose dancing in a leotard in front of millions is motivation you can’t deny!

If you don’t know who Paris Hilton is then you SERIOUSLY need to turn on the TV! The socialite who’s famous for …. well being famous is notorious around the globe for her family’s money, THAT tape, her partying ways, prison stay, recording attempt and well the list goes on.

To give her credit Paris Hilton has built an empire from her Hilton platform with perfume lines, movie roles, a TV series and of course an album. The star is showing no signs of slowing down with big plans for her future.

The infamous starlet has a model worthy figure and yet doesn’t strike anyone as the exercise and diet type so we’ve looked into Paris Hilton’s weight and how she stays so thin.

Read on for the scoop

Paris Hilton revealed her weight loss secrets in her book "Confessions of an Heiress" which was released to the public in 2004. Her diet advice was somewhat unconventional by any standards but she did have some good advice when it came to eating in moderation.

The star revealed that she LOVES her junk food. McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Coca Cola and chocolate make her favourite foods list and in fact she basically endorses them in the book - this we do NOT agree with. Consuming these types of foods can lead to all sorts of health and weight problems.

But wait . . .

Paris goes on to recommend sushi and homemade meals as part of a healthy lifestyle. Saying she stocks up on vegies and fish with the sushi and avoids the naughties with homemade meals.

The heiress also tells her readers to steer clear of diet sods and other artificial sweeteners (the kinds you find in any sugar free goods) and that if you REALLY are craving a soda have a real one instead. Again NOT drinking these is your best option but try and avoid the "diet" foods that seem to good to be true - most of them are.

With regards to her weight Paris Hilton says, "I try to be sensible, but I really think each individual should do what suits them. I believe that life is too short to be worrying about diets."

Too right! Paris says in her book that moderation is the name of the game and that eating well should not be about deprivation. We really stress this with our readers here at UWLS it’s better you have a 80/20 lifestyle (80% healthy, 20% treats) than eating healthy for a week and binging for two!

In terms of an exercise routine well there isn’t one. Paris instead chooses to enjoy her busy lifestyle and the activity that comes with it. She says, ‘Enjoy life, eat carbs at night if you want. You can always dance the calories off. I-m always on the go and that burns plenty of calories. I-m really lucky that I have a naturally good figure.’

Sienna Miller’s is a celebrity that can’t seem to stay out of the papers. The stunning but controversial star launched to fame as a photographic model before trying her hand in plays, TV drama and finally movies.

Sienna has caused a stir with her smoking habit, her weight, her relationship and consequent break up with fellow star Jude Law and most recently her steamy fling with married (but now separated) oil heir Balthazar Getty.

Regardless of the press, Sienna is pretty darn hot so read on to find out how she gets her weight and that body.

The stories of Sienna’s weight and diet vary from source to source but I’ve put together what I’ve found for YOU

Sienna Miller’s Diet

Sienna isn’t one of the strict, exercise addicted celebs in fact the starlet says, ‘I don-t really exercise and I eat all the burgers I want. I-d rather be lumpy and heavy than skinny and miserable.’

The seemingly down to earth star also admits she’s by no means perfect. She says, ‘Let-s face it. My so-called fabulous shape is the result of very clever airbrushing. I have small boobs and cellulite!’

Sienna Miller has had to gain and lose weight for her movie roles. Her most recent weight loss was for her role as Edie Sedgwick in the film Factory Girl.

Sienna didn’t go nuts with crazy exercise routines or extreme diets - or so she says anyway! Sienna said, ‘The director wanted me to lose weight, but I can’t work that hard and not eat all the food that I normally eat -” and I’m a real pig!’

Instead Sienna looked to alternatives she could find for her big loves in life including wine. Sienna knew that she couldn’t keep up her wine habits so looked for a lower calorie alternative and she found vodka. Instead of her usual wine glass she enjoyed a shot of vodka at meal times.

Obviously this is by no means the best way to lose weight (or live in general) but we’re just reporting the background behind Sienna’s weight.

Sienna Miller’s Exercise

Although Sienna admits she’s a bit lazy when it comes to exercise she does manage to incorporate exercise into her everyday life by walking her dogs and generally being "a high strung person and running around a lot."

Other reports say that Sienna participates in rope yoga which is fantastic for the tummy, thighs and hips. Rope yoga is great for toning and does more than just stretch the body like other yoga styles.

Sienna is reportedly beginning a hard core training program for a new role in the upcoming G.I Joe movie. She needs to bulk up and build some serious muscle for the role and has had to work hard for it.

The teeny actress has reportedly already gained 2.5kgs and is training with a former MI6 agent (sounds very James Bond!) Her training program involves weight training and intensive boxing workouts. but has more to go so is training with boxing and weight training.

The program is said to focus on building core strength along with work on her legs, shoulders and arms to build her physique much like a real female soldier.

So there you have it…

Watch out for a lean but strong looking Sienna in the near future

As I was telling you yesterday we managed to get an interview with awesome celebrity trainer Valerie Waters who’s worked with the likes of Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Garner, Richard Gere and more.

If you didn’t see Part One of the interview with Valerie Waters click here to read it now.

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.

Going for my run now!!!

People often wonder how much does Sarah Jessica Parker weigh because this pint sized actress flaunts her teeny figure all over NYC. For a mum of one her flat tummy and taut muscles are entirely impressive.

Sarah Jessica Parker is well known for her role as the delightful Carrie in hugely popular sitcom Sex and the City and the upcoming movie (which I am DYING to see!)

Read on to find out how much Sarah Jessica Parker weighs and how she gets her fabulous figure

Sarah Jessica Parker is an actress and producer best known for her role on Sex and the City for which she’s won a string of awards including 4 Golden Globes, 2 Screen Actors Guild and 2 Emmy’s - impressive huh!

Married to producer Matthew Broderick with one son James the star is showing no signs of slowing down after appearing in a range of different projects in recent years including Failure to Launch, The Family Stone and Honeymoon in Vegas among others.

Sarah has also produced a fashion line, perfume and has countless endorsements for Garnier.

How Much Does Sarah Jessica Parker weigh?

This teeny actress has a figure to die for, I know I’ve often stared in envy as Carrie flocks around NYC in Sex and the City series. So how much does Sarah Jessica Parker weigh and how does she do it!

How Much Does Sarah Jessica Parker Weigh I’d put Sarah’s weight at between 105 and 110 pounds because she’s very lean and only about 5 ft 4".

Sarah Jessica Parker’s been linked to the South Beach diet and the Zone diet which are based on low carbs and high protein. Sarah eats lots of eggs and lean meat while cutting down on the heavy carbs like potatoes, bread, pasta and white rice.

While Sarah is conscious of what she eats, she admits she’s pretty lucky with her fast metabolism and doesn’t have to be too strict nor does she want to.

Food is a passion of Sarah and Matthew’s and the star laughingly says, ‘we’re busy planning our next meal while while we’re eating the one we’ve got!’

One thing Sarah Jessica Parker does do is never leave home on an empty stomach so that she’s not tempted by the thousands of food stands on the New York City footpaths.

Sarah admits she’s not one of those stars who loves to slave away at the gym all day and instead incorporates every day exercise into her daily routine.

Sarah says, ‘I walk everywhere instead of taking a cab. I don’t have a fitness routine and I don’t work on my figure at all, but I do try to sneak some exercise into my life any way I can.’

Sarah Jessica Parker achieves her weight and fabulous figure by climbing the stairs, walking to her next appointment and generally living actively with her husband and son. She also is a fan of yoga to decompress after her hectic schedule.

Tyra Banks is no waif but boy is she HOT! Tyra Banks is an American supermodel, actress, TV personality, talk show host and business woman.

This sassy lady is proud of her body and has all the self confidence in the world! Tyra Banks weight has caused a whirlwind of controversy over the years with cruel tabloids taunting this curvaceous star and her definace against the Size 0 trend.

Tyra Banks had her reign as supermodel in the 90’s and has modelled all over the world. Tyra debuted in Paris and in her first week on the catwalk she was signed to an never-before 25 shows which is incredible for a newbie!

Tyra launched her talkshow The Tyra Banks Show in 2003 and since then its gained a myriad of fans AND been nominated for a number of Daytime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Talk Show Host and Outstanding Talk Show.

Tyra Banks has come under fire for supposedly "gaining weight" over the last few years but I think that is ridiculous. I reckon Tyra looks fantastic and the media should think twice about creating such a stir because the only people who are affected are the young girls who aspire to BE these people.

As Tyra said, ‘I get so much mail from young girls who say, I look up to you, you’re not as skinny as everyone else, I think you’re beautiful. So when they say that my body is ‘ugly’ and ‘disgusting,’ what does that make those girls feel like?’

TOO RIGHT!

Tyra Banks Weight Loss Secrets

Tyra Banks WeightSince retiring from the catwalk in 2005 Tyra’s weight has fluctuated back and forth a few pounds but she has learnt to live and eat healthier.

Gone are the junk foods that used to adorn the backstage table of The Tyra Bank Show now it’s strictly fresh veges and fruit along with lean turkey sandwiches and water.

Tyra admits she’s made the move into healthy eating and exercising now just for her body but the overall feel.

Tyra says, ‘I feel more comfortable when I’m lighter -

On side note before I start, when I was researching this post it was amazing how many people look up "mischa barton measurments" without the e!

Today we’re delving into the celebrity weight loss secrets behind TV star and fashion goddess Mischa Barton. You will have seen Mischa as a youngster on the chilling movie The Sixth Sense and more recently on hit US TV show The OC during its 3 year reign.

Skinny Mischa Barton never seems to gain weight and is the envy of many fans around the globe. Her tall frame and edgy fashion sense has earned her a reputation as an "it" girl on the social circuit.

Read on to find out whether Mischa Barton does much to get those measurements or whether it’s all just good luck!

Mischa Barton Measurements Mischa’s been involved in the acting world for over a decade and boy has she done some work in that time! Mischa kicked off her rise to stardom with an Off Broadway production Slavs!

Mischa’s also appeared in a number of films including The Sixth Sense, St Trinians, Notting Hill and Closing The Ring.

Mischa hasn’t limited herself to movie screens with several roles in TV shows including All My Children, One and Again, Bonnie and Clyde and of course The OC!

The tall, slim star has people stunned as she struts around in a teeny bikini before being photographed chowing down a cheeseburger!

So how does Mischa Barton keep those measurements? Let’s have a look . . .

Mischa Barton Measurements

The five foot eight actress turns heads with her long limbs and flat tummy but Mischa’s come under fire in the past for being "too thin" and even "borderline anorexic" but the star insists that is not the case at all.

Mischa defended her slim frame with this statement, ‘I am a normal weight. I have a very fast metabolism and it is sometimes annoying when you are compared to people who are clearly not naturally that way.’

Mischa Barton Measurements Mischa’s genes play a generous role in her slender body because she doesn’t lose any sleep worrying about her diet or workout regime.

Mischa admits she doesn’t stress about her body, ‘I never even think about my weight. I eat basically whatever I want and I don’t like working out except for going jogging once in a while.’

While skinny Mischa Barton’s very lucky when it comes to her body she does try to eat healthy and drink lots of water.

Mischa ensures she’s getting her daily vegetable serving with juices and starts her day with a squeeze of lemon in hot water to detox her insides.

Mischa says, ‘I don-t ever deprive myself of anything. I-m not a vegetarian, and I eat desserts.’

Mischa admits she doesn’t enjoy working out but does lead an active life. The star has also recently hired a personal trainer to enhance her body and fitness.

Mischa said, ‘I never had a workout regime, but I have now hired a personal trainer because I feel my energy level is better when I work out.’

It’s great to see a star with a honest approach and an ‘it’ girl that doesn’t skip desserts! It’s also great to see that Mischa is working to increase her fitness with a personal trainer.

PS. I just want to add that any people who have plastered "Mischa’s gained weight" over their magazines and websites should take a long hard look at what they’re doing! Mischa is a slim and beautiful girl who by no means deserves such negative attention.

Gwen Stefani Diet

Gwen Stefani admits that her physique doesn’t come easy, she work’s for that smoking bod. In fact, Gwen says she’s dieted most of her life in order to keep in tip top shape.

Gwen says, ‘I’ve always been on a diet, ever since I was in the sixth grade. It’s an ongoing battle and it’s a nightmare. But I like clothes too much, and I always wanted to wear the outfits I would make. And I’m very vain!’

Gwen eats very healthy the majority of the time but does allow herself a treat from time to time. She lists the paparazzi on her motivation list and says, ‘if you had paparazzi outside your house, you’d make sure you looked good, too!’ TOO RIGHT!

Gwen Stefani eats lots of protein, fish and vegetables and gulps down the water all day long. Gwen generally eats fruit for breakfast and chicken kebabs for lunch. During the day she snacks on Soy Lattes and Pringles and she loves Vitamin Water.

Her occasional treat of choice is pizza although she cuts that out completely if she feels she’s gained a few pounds. Gwen admits that dieting is not easy and from time to time she eats a bit naughtier.

Gwen said, "I go through phases with food, like everyone else. If something cool is coming up and I want to look good, I get into my healthy fitness mode and take care of myself, then as soon as its over, it’s like, ‘Hooray, let’s go get pizza.’ I do whatever I want, I become a lazy slob and watch TV. "

Gwen Pairs Her Diet With Exercise

Gwen Stefani pairs her diet with regular exercise to keep her body in it’s incredible form. Gwen gets her move on every day religiously with both cardio and strength training.

Gwen’s washboard stomach is achieved through crunches with a fitness and medicine ball. Her arms and shoulders stay toned with hard-core bicep and tricep work. To make sure Gwen keeps her curvy backside she works her muscles with fitness ball exercises.

So there you have it - Gwen Stefani’s diet!
