Seven Diet Secrets of Celebrities

By: Carmen T. Wilson

Celebrities always look fabulous. Whether appearing in
television or films or strutting down the red carpet during
movie premiers and awards, they never cease to fascinate us with
their larger than life presence. The truth is, it takes a lot of
effort to look the way they do, and being the public figures
that they are, they cannot afford to slack off when it comes to
taking care of their physical appearances. Their livelihood
largely depends on how they look. Aside from the clothes, the
hair and the makeup, celebrities have to take good care of their
bodies.

So it is no surprise that these stars have their own secrets
when it comes to staying fit and gorgeous. Their health agenda
can range from extreme workouts to well-planned meals. Who
doesn't want to know their secrets in staying absolutely sexy?
Here are some of the diet secrets of seven women celebrities.

1. Jennifer Aniston The star of the phenomenal television show
Friends not only mesmerized audiences with her adorable comic
sense and her famous hairstyle, she was also known for having
one of the sexiest bodies in Hollywood, as she appeared in
countless magazine covers. To stay trim, Jennifer follows the
40:30:30 diet method. The diet consists of:

40% Low glycemic carbohydrates -Foods such as beans, fruits and
vegetables, legumes

30% lean proteins -Tofu, fish, chicken, turkey, beef and low fat
dairy products

30% essential fats -nuts and seeds, fish and olive oils

It is essential that every meal should contain macronutrients to
attain the balance of hormones and maximum weight loss.

2. Kate Hudson The gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn
gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy, which she needed to shed
quickly before commencing on her next film. From her previous
eating plan, she switched to a higher protein diet. She consumed
high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this
diet with an exercise program that includes weight training and
cardiovascular workouts. After getting a lot of flak because of
her post-pregnancy figure, Kate removed all that baby weight in
only four months and has gained abdominal muscles that gained
the envy of many in Hollywood.

3. Oprah Winfrey As one of the most successful talk-show hosts
in the world, there is no question that Oprah needs to maintain
her physical appearance for her millions of audiences. Known as
one of those celebrities who are constantly battling weight
gain, she has recently toned up her figure and has never looked
figure in age 50 by combining a regular exercise regime and diet
plan. Oprah works out five days a week, spending 30 minutes on
the threadmill and doing free weights. Her eating plan consists
of legumes, fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken and dairy
products that are lowfat. She limits her consumption of white
sugar and flour. Oprah also credits her trim figure to her habit
of not eating anything after seven in the evening.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow A lot of people may find it hard to believe
that the perpetually slim Academy award-winning actress actually
needs to diet. Gwyneth actually follows a healthy eating plan
that resembles Oprah's, avoiding sugar and white flour. She
usually follows a macrobiotic diet, eating foods like
vegetables, brown rice, and lean meat. She also eliminated dairy
from her diet, and does yoga everyday.

5. Madonna The pop star known as the Material Girl has always
flaunted a body that is to die for, and has become a true
fitness paragon over the years. She keeps herself in tip-top
shape by having Ashtanga Yoga, and follows a strict diet that
mostly shuns junk foods. She adopted a macrobiotic eating plan
that includes organic foods rich in lean protein.

6. Claudia Schiffer The bodacious German supermodel eats salad
and steamed vegetables for dinner and eats only fruits before
the afternoon. While on locations, she prefers to eat black
grapes and drinks tomato juice and herbal tea.

7. Christie Brinkley Long-time supermodel maintains her
all-American good looks by being a vegetarian. She does not keep
junk foods of any kind inside her home to make sure that she
does not eat them when cravings occur. She snacks on sweet
potatoes in place of candy bars, and she adopts a liquid juice
diet when she needs to slim down fast.

Celebrities are just like ordinary people. They need to maintain
their figures just like anyone else, and there is more pressure
on their part since they are constantly in the public eye.
Ordinary folks can have celebrity-like bodies, too, and by
following these diet and fitness plans, they can also look like
red-carpet worthy.
