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.
