“Britney was sleeping only two to four hours a night for the longest time, but she’s gotten that under control.  Now she’s getting eight hours a night — and is drinking a ton of water and eating three normal meals a day.”

“She drinks protein shakes and snacks on the dried fruit and nuts from Starbucks with her coffee.”

Britney Spears is back on the cover of another tabloid this week.  Two weeks ago she had gained weight and now this week it seems she has lost 20 pounds in the past month.  Confusing isn’t it?  The mother of two has reportedly been working extra hard to get in shape, apart from all of the work she does on stage dancing while on her Circus tour.  According to Ok! Magazine she is using the gourmet meal delivery service called SunFare, a service that has also been used by Eva Longoria Parker, Marcia Cross and Khloe Kardashian.  SunFare takes a balanced and low-carb approach to weight loss and offers three meals a day plus two snacks.  A source revealed,

“When Britney is on Sunfare, she consumes approximately 1,100 to 1,200 calories per day.”

Apart from her diet plan she is still dependent on dance as her exercise outlet and a longtime friend said that she’ll dance at least two hours a day and then some days rehearsals can last up to eight hours.    Eight hours is one mighty workout!  But keep in mind this is just this week’s story, we’ll have to wait and see how long it takes for another tabloid to decide that she has gained weight.

It looks like singing sensation Britney Spears enjoyed herself too much during her two-week holiday between concert gigs.  After she finished the British leg of her Circus World tour she went back to the US for a bit of a breather before starting the European leg.  These photos captured this week while on stage in Paris make Britney look less sculpted than she has been on her previous concert tours. What do you think?

The European tour unveils new songs, new costumes a new brunette hair-do and a considerably larger Britney.  However, she will probably melt off the additional pounds quickly because of the intensity of her concerts and the considerable amount of dancing she does on stage.  Britney has 10 more venues in Europe then she’s back to the US and Canada with 21 more gigs and then she will finish up her tour in Australia.

Britney Spears has been looking better than ever as of late.  Granted, she did admit the above photo from the Candie’s ads was photoshopped, but still, she looks healthy and fit.  An insider told Life and Style Magazine that Britney relies on her dancing onstage to stay fit while on tour and that she doesn’t have to be so preoccupied with what she eats.  The insider said that Britney,

“can be lax with her dieting. She indulges in comfort food and fast food and then retains water.”

Because of the body-hugging costumes on stage whenever they get a bit too snug or a bulging belly starts to appear, Spears will immediately switch to weight-loss mode.  The insider said,

“When the bloat’s showing she starts watching what she eats, cutting back on sodium-heavy food and caffeinated drinks to get things under control.”

This week, Britney started the European leg of her tour in London and she has new costumes to mark the event.  With tight fitting corsets and other barely-there items it’s evident that any girl in her shoes would want to shake it hard on stage in order to keep the weight off.

Britney Spears has been all over the media the past couple of weeks as her Circus tour has now been launched and she has revealed her new body to the world.  In general, Britney stays fit, but none of us will forget just over a year ago, her plump moments while battling depression and parenting issues, etc..  In the most recent edition of Fitness Magazine, they claim that Britney got her body back by doing the intense choreographed dances and workouts as she prepared for her tour.

According to Britney’s website, she also lifts weights and runs; this definitely helps her strength and endurance. But the dancing is what helped her blast off some unwanted fat because of the explosive moves she puts out on the dance floor.  Fitness Magazine said,

“To get into tour-ready shape, Britney headed to renowned choreographer Jamie King, who’s also worked with Madonna, Rihanna, and other superstars who put on sweat-worthy shows.”

Unfortunately, the majority of us can’t afford to pay a personal choreographer, but Jamie King does have a DVD out called, Rock Your Body, where you will learn some great hip-hop dance moves.

It’s obvious to us all that Britney Spears has worked very hard to get her body back in shape for her upcoming Circus tour. The year 2008 was her roller coaster year of mental and physical woes, but she is now back on top here in 2009 and ready to yet again rock the music world. Over the past few months she shed almost 20 pounds thanks to rehearsals with dancers and choreographers in preparation for her tour, as well as targeted exercises with her trainer, Steven Boggs.

Apart from an abundance of exercise and dance, Britney now receives pre-made meals from a diet delivery company called Sunfare, and only allows herself 1,100 to 1,200 calories a day. Sunfare not only makes customized meals for your unique taste, but they also pay close attention to the individual dietary needs of each of their clients. It looks like there is no more greasy fast food for Britney, now it’s all about fresh veggie salads and lean turkey burgers.

It’s time to review the good, the bad and the ugly in celeb diets of 2008. First a brief recap of 2007. The picks for 2007 were for the most part right on. As predicted, Kirstie Alley did in fact fall off the wagon with Jenny Craig. No surprise, Ricki Lake continues to shine with her remarkable weight loss success as she adopted some key weight loss behaviors. Capping a remarkable turnaround for 2008, Britney went from the worst celebrity diet list of 2007 to the best celebrity diet list this year proving that you are what you eat.

This brings me to theme for the year in celebrity diets of 2008, specifically that “diets don’t work.” The key to sustainable weight loss is not so much a particular diet but the adoption of the proper lifestyle behaviors. It’s the reason why Oprah can’t achieve sustainable weight loss despite trying multiple diets and having all the resources in the world (personal chef, trainer, Dr Oz etc).

You’ll also noticed that this year’s winners all have one thing in common as they develop their new lifestyle dietary behaviors. They achieved their remarkable slim downs by increasing their intake of veggies and fruits. No crazy fasts, diet pills, supplements or miracle cures. Here’s to 2009 and hopefully you’ll find some inspiration from this year’s crop of winners. Enjoy and be healthy, Dr Marc

Best Celebrity Diets for 2008:
5. Jennifer Love Hewitt: Those unflattering bikini photos seem so long ago as this Ghost Whisperer star has been letting her body speak loud and clear; daily fruits and veggies do a body good.

4. Jessica Alba: Jessica exercised her superhero abilities on a regimen of whole foods, cardio and interval training to power her fantastic 25 pound post-pregnancy slim down.

3. Debra Messing: Eating gracefully, Debra lost 42 pounds of her post-baby weight by sticking to a diet high in unprocessed veggies, fruits and lean protein.

2. Kelly Osbourne: By fixing her refined carb cravings with her new addiction to veggies and fruits, Kelly Osbourne is reborn with a healthy new figure.

1. Britney Spears: Since ditching her “Toxic” junk food diet for veggies and lean protein, Britney is sporting a new outlook and an A-list slim down that has everyone wanting “A Piece of Me.”

And the Worst Celebrity Diets for 2008:
5. Carnie Wilson: Carnie proves that even gastric bypass is not a fix for sabotaging behaviors. Despite her much publicized surgery and weight loss, this Celebrity Fit Club participant regained 58 pounds. (Her yo-yo dieting continues; she most recently lost 50 pounds before her current pregnancy.)

4. Monica Seles: This former tennis star may have lost 33 pounds on a high protein diet but she also increased her risk of chronic disease. Advantage: heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.

3. Hilary Swank: 47 ways to sub-optimal health. Reportedly downing 47 “million dollar” supplements a day, this Million Dollar Baby star is unwittingly subjecting her body to accelerated aging.

2. Kim Kardashian: Kim has kept her shapely “junk in the trunk” figure with exercise and a gig on Dancing with The Stars. However, her junk food diet will inevitably cause… too much junk.

1. Oprah Winfrey: The queen of media and yo-yo dieter is the poster child for “diets don’t work.” Proper weight loss behaviors and habits should be one of Oprah’s “favorite things.”

Britney Spears is back in shape with the help of a new diet and workout regimen according to Ok magazine. How did she do it?

Britney Spears Diet
“I have no sugar. I don’t eat fruit of even fruit juice because of the sugar. I eat chicken and salmon and rice. I eat avocados. I’ll have egg whites for breakfast and sometimes turkey burgers for launch. I try to do just 1,200 caloires a day…. It may sound like it’s not much, but it’s actually a lot of food if you eat the right things.”

Instead of the Starbucks Fracppuccinos she had on a daily basis she has coffee with Equal.

Britney Spears Workout
She’s been doing “a lot of cardio and weights” working out 5 days a week with the weekends off.

Celeb Diet Doc Weigh in …
Sounds like Britney is getting her life together and her healthier diet is a far cry from her daily diet of junk food that we reported about last year. However the idea that fruits are “high sugar” and should be avoided is simply false. Yes processed fruits and fruit juices should be avoided, but whole unprocessed fruits are some of the most powerful weight loss foods on earth. Fruits get a bad rap because many dietitians, nutritionists, diet gurus, trainers etc have all blindly followed the lead of Atkins and South Beach as labeling many fruits as “bad.” It’s the blind leading the blind.  If you would like to learn more download my special report where I outline why fruits mistakenly get a bad rap. Processed sugar and grains are to be avoided if you are looking to lose weight, not fruits.

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.

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.”
