Hilary Duff, newly single from Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, reveals her dieting struggles in the latest issue of Us Weekly. She developed unhealthy eating habits, loading up on junk food and leading to her much publicized weight gain at age 15. “I used to eat chicken fingers, french fries, and ice cream all the time.”
Hilary became Scary Skinny
Driven by media scrutiny, she become “obsessed,” following a strict protein and vegetable diet. She recalls “you stress out about being in a bathing suit.” Hilary lost weight only to have the media speculate that she was too skinny. “Everybody speculates that you’re not eating or are doing drugs. You’re damned if you do, and you’re dammed if you don’t” she says.
Hilary Duff Diet Plan
Her diet consists of greens, fresh fruit and lean protein.
Breakfast- Kashi cereal with 2 percent milk (or an egg-white omelet with Feta cheese) and a latte made with 2 percent milk.
Lunch - Grilled chicken Caesar salad with 1 tablespoon of reduced-fat dressing (or grilled ahi tuna salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing)
Dinner – Tuna steak, grilled veges and couscous (she also loves sushi)
Snack – Handful of mixed nuts (or an apple and Brie cheese) She also indulges in chips and salsa.
Hilary Duff Workout
Hilary was a former gymnast and says she had a tendency to bulk up with exercise. “I couldn’t just go to the gym like my friends and lift weights. I would get these muscles in my legs. I felt boyish.” Her solution to developing long lean muscles is Pilates workouts with Viveca Jensen of LA’s V Pilates.
Pilates – At home she does hour long workouts on Pilates reformer machines 4 times a week. She concentrates on her lower body with 32 reps each of 20 different leg and butt exercises and 5 different ab exercises.
Swimming – While touring she swims, alternating 7 laps each of freestyle, breast, butterfly and sidestroke daily.
Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh in
Ditching the junk food for a strict greens and protein diet she lost too much weight. She also hints that her exercise may have been excessive during this period when she weighed an estimated 100 lbs on a 5 foot 2 inch frame. She’s since added a variety of veggies and fruits to her diet and looks great at a healthy 109 lbs. Hilary sums it up best, “I’m in a really good place.”

I think its great that seh is open about the fact that she almost went too far, so many celebrities make out that losing so much weight was accidental and normal!!
She looks amazing now and her diet sounds good although i cant help but be slightly sceptical about her lack of carbs!?

Jeah, she really have a great body but I thin that the last one was very good too! We don´t have to be so skinny! We can just be sporty and look great;)
A little muscle is nothing to be afraid of. Seeing some of these atheletes in the Olympics reminded me of this.
i wonder how much of that picture is photo shopped…i mean ive always that that hillary duff was so pretty no matter what, and it really sounds like she is very healthy and on the right track, but it still makes me wonder….
I love her body!!! Every time I look at mine, I don't know why but I see my self as fat!!!
i'would like to have her body!!! oh my god it's a dream body that every girl our age(20),,are like to have it!!! love you very much Hilary Duff and i've seen all you'r movies..i woul'd like to speak tou you for a while:(
=pPp love ya kissesssssss xxxxxXXxxxxx
Her body's smoking it! Every boy's dream come true!

She looks great. It's great to see a girl in her 20s willing to admit that it can become an obsession and that she kind of had to catch herself. So many women over do it and then act like "o yeah this is natural" blah blah blah… Which sends a horrible message to teenage girls.
Keep up the good work Hilary!!!
She looks great, and still does.
It's great she's open about having problems at each end of the scale, many celebrities refuse to admit it but Hilary keeps it real.
I cant beleive that. She is so pretty. i have been trying to lose weight for forever.
She is very beautifull.
she is very pretty and i like her very much;)
She looks amazing
I'm actually planning on eating the way she did to get to my weight goal!! My goal is to go down atleast to 100 pounds, so I need 15 pounds to lose 
I know I can do it because if Hilary can do this ANY girl can!! Great Job Hilary, you are beautiful as always.
love Evana
At least 100?!?! Are you freaking insane? Obviously hil's message flew right over your head. The right tng is to realise when to stop, not keep going till you're invisible and I'll, she looks so much betters with a curvier and toned physique instead of the emaciated look which made her look like a kid really.
Thanks for trying to raise young girls impresses of what the healthy way to be in good shape is Hilary
love her,pretty girl
She looks so overly photoshopped.
the photo shopped is only on her skin, but she did got alot skinnier
Omg!!Hilary looks amazing like totally!!but i dont want her to work out excessively cos she'll become too skinny…Hilary's body is perfect as it is now

Any girl who finds Hilary ugly or some sort is just jealous of her looks,Hilary's naturally beautiful and her hotbod is just superb.
its true! they just jealous which make them ugly
I agree, well not that those girls are ugly, but that she looks good….although I still think a bit more curves would be great!
She looks good.
Woah! Good Work!
For girls who put on weight while lifting weights, you can try yoga as well instead of pilates.
I think Madonna uses an awesome yoga style.
she is our inspiration i'm glad that u have such a nice body right now
Hilary sounds like she could use some help.
Maybe she should take the same route that Barbie did.
she use to be hotter when she was like 16.. she is too skiney and barbie doll now. she used to look like an actual human when she was younger
It's pretty suitable weight loss information allthough I cannot come to an agreement with everthing in this specific write-up.
u are soo dump because every one can have a nice body even batter than her if u want something you must to 4 it
OMG she looks great
hm really nice body, i also like to have suchkind of figure.i will try to follow her diet plan.
