Fergie: weight loss and diet

I have always said one of the keys to successful weight loss is having a plan. Fergie, lead singer of the band Black Eyed Peas, follows in the footsteps of fellow celebs Ricki Lake and Janet Jackson by using a food delivery service to stay on plan. The 5 foot 4 inch singer lost 20 lbs on a personalized meal plan created by her nutritionist, Carrie Wiatt of Diet Designs.

Fergie’s Diet Plan
The overall diet philosophy for Fergie is pure food, nothing processed, organic when possible and portion control. She grazes every 3 hours on healthy snacks to keep her metabolism up. Here’s a typical menu for Fergie, courtesy of Life and Style mag.

Breakfast Fergie begins her day with a six-egg-white veggie omelet, seasoned with salsa or hot sauce. A smart start on the go? Pack two slices of 100-percent whole-grain toast with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.

Midday Snack Fergie’s go-to munchie? Light organic cheese (like a mozzarella stick or 1 ounce of Jarlsberg Lite) and rice crackers with flaxseed. (You can eat eight!) She never goes anywhere without first tucking Kashi bars into her purse.

Mid-A.M. Bite Top 4 ounces of low-fat or no-fat plain organic yogurt with 2 tablespoons of low-sugar granola (such as Bear Naked). “It’s low in sugar and has protein,” says Fergie’s nutritionist, Carrie Wiatt, who suggests pairing it with a bowl of fiber-filled berries. (Cottage cheese makes a great yogurt alternative.)

Pre-Supper Nosh Wiatt whips up a pureed vegetable soup — sans cream. At only 50 calories per cup, the small indulgence is super filling. Other light treats? Carrots dipped in 2 tablespoons of hummus, a cup of air-popped popcorn or almonds.

Lunch A Fergie fave? Mixed greens, a quarter of an avocado, 4 ounces of shredded chicken (for protein) and half an antioxidant-rich grapefruit, all tossed with a nonfat dressing. (The same ingredients can be rolled into a 100-percent whole-grain tortilla.)

Dinner Fergie eats salmon (rich in Omega-3’s) and half a cup of whole-wheat couscous. She piles on 2 cups of veggies and adds 2 tablespoons of chili sauce or honey Dijon mustard for flavor. (Grilled balsamic chicken, brown rice and a side of sautéed spinach is another great dinner option.)

Fergie’s is feeling good about her diet,

“I’ve grown into loving who I am,” she recently said. “Even though there are always things you want to change, I still feel good about myself because I know I’m doing everything in my power to be healthy.”

I am a fan of a food delivery service, because it’s a no brainer. You avoid temptation by sticking with the planned meals and not eating out. Follow the food menu, and the weight loss is automatic. It works for Fergie and it can work for you…
