Diet Secrets Of The Stars

The stars always look so marvelous, do they not? Both kinds of stars do. Celebrities too. OK, we do not see them when they arise in the morning or with a bad hangover, but when we do see them, they always look at the peek of physical fitness and dressed in perfectly tailored clothes. It is their work not just to act and remember their lines but to look good too.

Many if not all of them have private fitness coaches, dietitians and even chefs in order to help them fight the flab, so it is not really so difficult for them as it is for us, but the penalty for gaining weight is more ruthless, they may not be offered a lot more work, which would mean falling out of the limelight and that would be a significant thing for any celebrity.

Therefore, it is not surprising that most stars have their own favourite tips for staying on top of the weight problem that faces most individuals each day of their lives. Here are seven celebrities' tips on how they do it.

Jennifer Aniston: follows the 40:30:30 course of action of counting types of foodstuffs. That is:

40% of what she consumes has to be slow-burning, low glycaemic foods like beans, root vegetables (like swede and potatoes), dark-green leaves (such as cabbage) and fruit (such as bananas).

30% of what she eats has to be lean-to-fatless protein such as skinless chicken, tofu, turkey, ostrich, veal, fish and low fat dairy products.

30% of what she consumes should contain essential fatty acids such as oily fish, nuts, seeds and olive oil.

Kate Hudson; placed on 60 pounds during her pregnancy but was determined to lose it especially after the media was so nasty to her about her size. She accomplished it in four months by concentrating on eating just high protein, but small meals frequently and training thoroughly. This sounds much like the Atkins diet, but it worked for her and now she looks better than ever.

Oprah Winfrey: uses a similar plan to Kate Hudson's. She works out at least five days a week and strives to eat mostly fish, nuts, fruit, beans, seeds, chicken and vegetables. She is especially cautious to avoid, but not completely cut out, white sugar and white flour and last but not least, she does not eat after 19:00 hours.

Gwyneth Paltrow: has a routine that is similar again. She too avoids white sugar and flour, but follows a macrobiotic diet of vegetables, brown rice and very lean meat and fish. She does not eat any dairy produce at all and does yoga each day.

Madonna: also does yoga every day and follows a macrobiotic diet of organic vegetables, brown rice and fatless protein. She has given up junk food entirely.

Claudia Schiffer: will eat just fruit before noon and after noon she adds salad and steamed vegetables to her diet, She drinks lots of tomato juice and herbal tea and is especially fond of black grapes.

Christie Brinkley: is a strict vegetarian, who has also eliminated all forms of junk food from her diet. She snacks on sweet potatoes and if she puts on a couple of pounds, she goes on a crash diet of fruit juices.

Do not forget that these celebrities have paid and probably still are paying thousands of dollars for their advice, so if one of these outline diets appeals to you, do some more research and test it out free of charge. It works for them as you can clearly see.
