Britney’s antics are legendary and now we hear her continuing weight struggles have taken a drastic turn as the pop star is planning on getting liposuction. It seems that Britney will not diet and continues to feed the fat with Taco Bell, McDonalds, cookies, ice cream, and jelly beans. Junk in today, lipo tomorrow. Of course, it won’t end there. Brit proves that beauty is more than skin deep.

The Best and Worst Celebrity Diets of 2007

Dr Marc — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:29:16 +0000

After a year of reviewing celebs and their diets, I felt it was high time to give my take on the best and the worst in celebrity diets for 2007. This year’s crop of celebrity diets proves the adage “you are what you eat.” Diets full of fruits and veggies have helped trim down Hollywood’s biggest “losers.” This “best” list of celebs also shows that you don’t have to knock yourself out at the gym to get fabulous. This year it’s all about healthy lifestyle activities with Ricki Lake, Andrea Baptiste and Lenny Clarke getting active by walking, hiking and biking.

Brittany Spears, Beyonce and Ashanti top the worst list by resorting to quick fix weight loss schemes. Diet pills and fasting “detox” diets only give dieters false hope, resulting in rebounding weight and yo-yo dieting. Under the body-conscious spotlight of the media, this list proves that eating well and creating a healthy lifestyle are the best revenge.

The Best Celebrity Diet List for 2007:
4. Jessica Simpson: Jessica got back her daisy dukes, shedding 25 lbs on a 5 Factor diet of lean protein, good carbs, healthy fats and fiber along with circuit and weight training.

3. Andrea Baptiste: She lost 56 lbs on The Biggest Loser and has since dropped another 8 pounds, proving not all weight loss reality TV contestants gain weight back. She continues to “lose” by daily walking and running along with a low fat and low refined-carbohydrate diet.

2. Lenny Clarke: The Rescue Me star has rescued himself, losing 144 lbs with the help of Weight Watchers and a diet of salads, fresh fruit and fish along with swimming and biking.

1. Ricki Lake: A former serial and yo-yo dieter, Ricki downsized from 250 lbs in 1991 to her present svelte 123 lbs by using a food delivery service to limit calories, daily hiking and frequent weigh-ins.

And the Worst Celebrity Diets for 2007:
4. Kirstie Alley: It’s time for Kirstie to call Jenny collect. Processed sugars fuel cravings which may make her diet difficult to stick with.

3. Dr. Phil McGraw: Is the tough-love author of The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution obese? Recent reports of his weight gain show even self-help gurus have trouble following their own advice.

2. Beyonce and Ashanti: Divas shouldn’t let divas do the Master Cleanse (aka the Lemonade Diet). Fasting “detox” diets wreak havoc on the metabolism and when stopped, more calories are stored as fat, so you not only re-gain weight but become proportionally fatter.

1. Britney Spears: Junk food and a quick-fix lifestyle of diet pills and energy drinks caught up with her at the recent Video Music Awards and had everyone thinking “Give Me Less.”

Britney Spears: Weight Gain to 160 pounds?

Britney Spears’ weight is making news again in the latest issue of Star Magazine. Having lost custody of her kids, Britney’s life is spinning out of control along with her weight. Her diet consists of “potato chips, sodas, cheeseburgers and candy.” Oh and btw, she hates veggies and fruits. Instead she loads up on “junk — lots of greasy dishes and creamy sweets.” Her diet efforts are no less suspect and consist of amphetamines, diuretics and laxatives. The article speculates that her 5 foot 4 inch frame is now carrying about 160 lbs which I believe is about right judging from her latest pics.

Britiney Spears’ diet is such a mess, I don’t know where to begin. It’s a bad sign she doesn’t like fruits and veggies since these are the best foods, by far, for weight loss. Quick fixes such as diet pills, laxatives and diuretics will not result in any sustainable weight loss. Temporary weight loss will result in loss of metabolically active muscle so although you may have lost weight you have gained proportionally more fat… making you skinny fat.

Remember junk in and junk out…. Britney needs a total overhaul.

Britney Spears: Weight Loss and Diet Pills

Following her disastrous performance at the MTV’s Video Music Awards, Britney allegedly told a friend “I’ll starve myself because I’m fat.” Friends and insiders also report:

Britney has used diet pills and energy drinks to help her lose weight. “Brit’s got a serious issue with food and a serious eating disorder. Brit has been taking weight-loss pills called Stacker 2, drinking Red Bull and coffee and working out — she’s going to pass out from all the caffeine, or something worse could happen, like her heart stops.”
She has resorted to drastically low calorie diets “She’s got no self-control one minute, but the next she’s restricting her diet to under 500 calories a day and doing thousands of stomach crunches.”
Bulimia rumors continue “She has mystery trips to the bathroom to clear her head but it’s all very weird.”
Has resorted to steam rooms to lose weight.
Self destructive behavior “She’ll go to any lengths to have her old body back and doesn’t care how much she’s going to hurt herself.” Britney “is taking her frustration out on her diet. It’s the only thing she can control. She’s sick of everyone, including Kevin, calling her a fat pig.”

Britney Spears: Diet
Britney loves traditional Southern dishes, like fried chicken, mac and cheese and grits. She is not a fan of fruits and veggies.

Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh In….
The common link among these activities, diet pills, energy drinks, steam rooms, intermittent over-exercise appears to be the desire for a quick fix. Weight loss and getting in shape is about dedication and a change in lifestyle. These quick fixes will not result in any long-lasting weight loss and will set her up for a life of fluctuating weight and yo-yo dieting. As a quick side note the diet pills and energy drinks Britney reportedly uses are very high in caffeine which will result in anxiety, heart palpitations and feeling jittery. Anyone looking to caffeine for weight loss will be disappointed. In studies only minimal weight loss with caffeine was observed and this was in individuals who exercised and ate a low fat diet. Remember the only quick fix is eating right and being active.
