7 Diet Secrets of the Stars!

Celebrities always look fabulous! When we see them in a newly released film or on television, our favorite celebrities always catch our eye with their attractive appearance and features. 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. Many of them will focus on well planned meals and regular heavy workouts. But, wouldn’t you like to know their secret for staying sexy? Here are some of the diet secrets of seven women celebrities.

1. The lovely, 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 on countless magazine covers. To stay trim, Jennifer follows the 40:30:30 diet method. This diet allows you to have 40% low glycemic carbohydrates; foods such as fruit, beans, vegetables and legumes.

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

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

Each meal must contain macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, fat), which are nutrients that provide calories or energy.

2. The lovely, Kate Hudson

Kate is the gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn and after her 60 pound pregnancy gain, she had to come up with a way to loose weight fast before her next film began. She immediately changed her eating habits to include high protein foods and eating a larger amount of protein in her diet. She consumed high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this diet with an exercise program that included weight training and cardiovascular workouts. She had received a lot of criticism about the amount of weight she gained during pregnancy, so she worked hard and removed it all in just a matter of four months, and now she also has great looking abdominal muscles, which many in Hollywood are envious of.

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 viewers. Many of us can relate to the struggles that surround weight loss right along side with Oprah, who has also experienced many of the same battles, however now, at age 50 she follows a consistent exercise schedule and diet plan; making her look fantastic. Oprah works out five days a week, spending 30 minutes on the treadmill and doing free weights. Her eating plan consists of legumes, fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken and dairy products that are low fat. Both white sugar and white flour are avoided as much as possible or a least very limited. She also does not eat late at night, like so many of us do, and, in fact, she stops eating by 7pm each evening.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow

It may seem hard to believe that this Academy award-winning, perpetually slim actress would even need to follow a diet. Gwyneth actually follows a healthy eating plan that resembles Oprah’s, avoiding sugar and white flour. The macrobiotic diet of eating vegetables, brown rice and lean meat, is what she will usually consume. Gwyneth, greatly enjoys cooking her own meals at home in her kitchen, she completely eliminated dairy from her diet and does yoga everyday.

5. Let’s take a look at ’Madonna’ next.

She keeps herself in tip-top shape by doing 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. During a photo shoot, she prefers to drink tomato juice and herbal tea and limits her fruit intake to black grapes.

7. The lovely, Christie Brinkley

Christie is one of America’s favorite long-time supermodels and she attributes much of her health to the fact that she is a vegetarian. In her home you will not find even a trace of junk food, because she does not want the temptation when a craving hits. Instead of eating candy bars, she snacks on sweet potatoes and when she needs to slim down fast, she follows a liquid juice diet.

When it comes to loosing weight, celebrities are just like the average person. 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.
