Dieting Tips Straight from Hollywood

You can criticize their acting skills or fashion choices but you cannot pass judgment when it comes to their physical appearances. There may be some Hollywood stars who cannot act to save their lives and there are those who have questionable taste on clothes but these celebrities always, always look good.

Some may have undergone surgery to achieve their hot bodies but more often than not, Hollywood stars pay extra attention to their diets and the results, as you can see, are simply fabulous. Well, the fact that their physical appearances play a huge part in their jobs keeps them motivated to look their best. But if they can do it, you most certainly can too.

Here are some dieting tips straight from Hollywood:

Jennifer Aniston

Many claim that Jennifer Aniston’s legs are the best in the industry. That may be true but it is not only Jen’s legs that are noticeable. She may not be able to keep the hottest man on earth by her side but she sure look better after the divorce. So what’s the secret behind Jen’s sexy body? It is called the 40:30:30 diet method. This diet includes 40% carbohydrates, 30% proteins, and 30% fats. Not any carbohydrate-, protein-, and fat-rich food will do. Carbohydrates should be low glycemic. Take fruits, vegetables, beans, and legumes as examples. For proteins, only lean proteins, such as turkey, chicken, fish, tofu and low fat dairy products, are acceptable. When it comes to fats, those found in nuts, seeds, fish and olive oils are good enough. The balance of nutrients in Jen’s diet guarantees healthy weight loss.

Kate Hudson

The blond actress had a great body before she got pregnant but when she was carrying Ryder Robinson, Kate Hudson managed to gain 60 pounds. With a movie offer and sixty pounds to lose, Kate had to do some serious dieting. She was able to get rid of the baby weight in four months through a high protein diet. Besides eating high protein dishes in smaller amounts, Kate also did weight training and cardiovascular workouts.

Oprah Winfrey

Who does not know Oprah Winfrey? The queen of talk has been fighting weight gain ever since she started in the industry. It was like fighting a losing battle until recently when she was able to achieve a better figure. What finally got Oprah her toned body? Two things: religious exercising and strict diet. Exercise for Oprah includes thirty minutes on the treadmill and the other thirty minutes on free weights. She does this routine five days a week. For her diet, she only eats chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and low fat dairy products. The diet is somewhat identical to Jennifer Aniston’s. Take note that Oprah does not eat anything after seven in the evening. She swears it is a good way to trim down.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Some may think that Gwyneth Paltrow does not believe in diets given her slim body. What they are not aware of is that Gwyneth does follow a diet resulting to her slender figure. The diet program of the Academy Award-winning actress is similar to Oprah Winfrey’s. The only difference is that she totally cut off dairy products in her diet. Instead of treadmill and free weights, she takes yoga.

Madonna

Madonna has a body to die for which she likes to show off in her music videos and live performances. Are you dying to know what the secret behind the music icon’s body is? Eat organic foods known to have high protein content, avoid junk foods, and practice Ashtanga Yoga.

Claudia Schiffer

Apparently eating only fruits and vegetables can go a long way in having a model-like body. Claudia Schiffer maintains her figure by eating fruits before afternoon and steamed vegetables for dinner. For beverages, she prefers herbal tea and tomato juice.

Reese Witherspoon

The Legally Blonde actress keeps in shape by closely monitoring her calorie intake. In case you are disappointed with Reese Witherspoon’s secret diet, here’s one bit that’s more interesting. Reese eats baby food for snacks. Baby foods are nutritionally-packed. Plus, the taste is not something to complain about.

Demi Moore

If you are past forty but can still compete with twenty-year old actresses, body-wise, you know you have a great figure. Aside from working out, Demi Moore drinks herbal teas to suppress her appetite. She also takes vitamins to maintain her health. You may want to give teas a try so you can grab your own Ashton Kutcher.

Again, what worked for these stars can work for you. The difference is that you cannot show off your new body in the red carpet.
