Weight Loss Secrets Straight From A Celebrity Trainer

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Hi All :)

After researching HEAPS of stars for our awesome new celebrity weight loss sections I noticed heaps of our favourite celebrities are being trained by a lady called Valerie Waters.

My curiousity was aroused and so I went straight to Google it to see exactly WHO this Valerie Waters was! Read on to see what I found out.

Ok so I googled her, checked out her site and found out she is HUGE in Hollywood. Not only has she been a personal trainer for a star studded line up but shes also been in charge of getting entire CASTS into shape for movies! Anyone jealous??

Heres a MINI name drop of just some of the clients Valerie Waters has worked with:

Cindy Crawford
Jennifer Garner
Kate Beckinsale
Jennifer Lopez
Jim Carrey
Richard Gere
Charlize Theron
Poppy Montgomery

Are you impressed? Well I AM!!!!! :) I also have to add that Valerie has worked with some of these celebrities for YEARS and over multiple films.

Anyway so I noticed Valerie had released an ebook called Red Carpet Ready. It was a 6 week program that promised to get you a red carpet worthy body through a healthy diet, cardio and strength training.

I decided to buy Valerie’s book as I was curious and wanted to see what all the talk was about. I downloaded the ebook and got straight into it. . .

So what did I think of Red Carpet Ready?

I was amazed! Truly and completely blown away by how Valerie had put together all the information you need to lose some serious weight.

I have read HEAPS of fitness and weight loss books in my time here at UWLS and even before and I can honestly say I have never been more impressed and inspired by a book.

In fact I have to admit I started the 6 week program on Monday and am logging the results to show you all at the end of the 6 weeks (I’ll keep you posted).

Anyway back to the book . . .

Valerie kicks it off with a bit of background on her life, how she got into the fitness industry and the day that kicked off her celeb training career - the day she got the phone call to train Cindy Crawford (what a day huh!)

Next Valerie talks about her beliefs with regards to training, dieting and her general approach to healthy living. Her whole belief system is refreshing!

The book then moves into ’setting the stage.’ Valerie gives you great advice about preparing your physical environment as well as your emotional environment. She gives great goal setting tips as well as several crucial steps to take before kicking off the 6 week program.

Valerie then hits you with some AWESOME nutriton information. It’s not long winded or scientific just the facts (I loved that part). She gives honest advice on what to eat, when to eat and just generally how to be fuel your body in the best possible way.

Rather than giving you a strict meal plan Valerie gives you a huge list of good foods and you can pick and choose as you please. This gives you so much more flexibility and helps you stick to it.

** Can I just add now that in the 5 days I’ve been on the program I’ve lost 1 KG!

Finally you’ll move onto the exercise phase. Valerie makes it incredibly easy.

She literally gives you step by step pictures of how to do every exercise she recommends PLUS they can all be done in your lounge room (just push the coffee table out of the way).

Her program recommends a mix of cardio and strength training. I already feel tighter after just 3 workouts!

The last section gives you heaps of extra tools like measurement charts, goal setting sheets and even a full 6 week calendar that’s pre filled for you!

I’ve chatted to Valerie about her book and she’s told me how pleased she is to finally be releasing the book she’s worked so hard on.

The Red Carpet Ready book has been tested on heaps of her celebrity clients to prove it works (they’re bodies speak for themselves). Valerie told me personally that the book is LITERALLY the program she uses on most of her celeb clients.

She’s tweaked it heaps to make sure it was totally perfect before making it available for all of us. Now all of us can get on her celebrity weight loss secrets.

So to recap in the Red Carpet Ready book you will get:

* Information about Valerie, her clients, her experience, her beliefs
* Food and Equipment shopping lists
* Easy to follow workout plans including photos (all of which you can do at home)
* The diet tips and eating plans she gives all her celebrity clients including Cindy Crawford and Jennifer Garner
* Goal setting exercises
* Measurement and tracking charts
* A pre-prepared calendar so that you have your 6 week celebrity weight loss laid out for you

I have absolutely no qualms in personally recommending this book to all of our UWLS readers. Valerie’s done all the work for you all you have to do is read and get stuck in.

Rating: ★★★★★

Whether you’ve got a red carpet event coming up or just want to make a change to your life this book is perfect for you.

Fertility Drugs for Weight Loss: What You Need to Know

A number of drugs available on the weight loss market were originally created for another purpose for example asthma, blood pressure and now even fertility problems.

Before we start bear in mind there is no scientific behind these findings BUT there has been talk that the use of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) can prove successful for weight loss.

The use of , like HCG, as part of a weight loss plan, states that, whether used as a pill or as an injection, HCG helps you lose weight by performing metabolic recovery.

Metabolic recovery involves adapting your hypothyroid to boost your body’s metabolism. Giving your metabolism a kickstart helps by increasing the speed at which your body can burn fat -” can’t complain about that.

Apart from boosting your body-s metabolism, the use of fertility drugs for , such as HCG, also claims to help break down your body-s fat deposits, causing you to lose weight, by mass, fast.
