Jane Seymour lost 20 lbs while training on Dancing with the Stars! Now this is one celeb that I think we can all agree doesn’t need to lose weight. In fact, Jane has been trying to put on weight recently. Now why is it that Jane Seymour feels she needs to put on weight while other celebs are having trouble losing?

Let’s take a look at her diet. Her diet consists of fresh fruits and veggies and some lean protein. She also stays away from sodas and alcohol. The secret to understanding successful weight loss is to reflect on how we evolved as a species. I can tell you, it wasn’t on trans-fats, refined carbs (white flour products), cheese, prime rib, coke, gummi bears etc. Our food consisted of mainly veggies, fruits, legumes, nuts, and occasional lean protein. Stick with this main principle and you’ll understand how to lose a lot of weight. Generally the less processed the foods you eat, the healthier and thinner you will be.

Suddenly with all the training, Jane can’t keep the weight on. I’m not surprised.

Rocco Dispirito lost weight on Atkins!? Total heresy I say. This guy grew up on pasta! Rocco jump started his weight loss on Atkins for 1 1/2 months, losing 30 lbs. Now back to a more normal diet, Rocco limits sugar and eats lots of salads. He’s also started competing in triathlons.

For those of you who may not remember, Rocco got his “break” with the reality TV series “The Restaurant.” The series didn’t last too long, and the food didn’t frankly look that good, but Rocco still makes the rounds on QVC, the Food Network and various morning shows. [Read more →]

I recently profiled Mel B, aka Scary Spice who is now strutting her stuff on Dancing with the Stars, for saying that she didn’t diet or count calories. However, it’s clear that her diet of fruits, veggies, lean meats and whole grains, is healthy and frankly looks like a typical “diet” to me. For someone who says she doesn’t “diet,” she does report using a dieting trick. Her secret is the cold water diet. [Read more →]

R&B and soul singer, Jill Scott has certainly experienced the ups and downs in her weight the past year. In addition to winning 2 Grammy’s, she’s got her big Hollywood break by getting a role in the move “Why did I get married?” which began filming in February. She had just lost 28 lbs by biking prior to signing up for the movie, but in preparation for her upcoming role she was told to gain 30 lbs…. and also “wear a fat suit.”

So Jill fattened up on chocolate, cheesesteaks and milk shakes to go from size 12 jeans to size 18. She is losing the weight by walking 90 minutes and eating salads and seafood. Jill has since lost about 10 lbs and her goal is a size 14.

Eat junk food to gain weight and eat healthy to lose. Highly processed foods, such as junk food, are also almost universally high in calories. Foods that are not as processed not only are healthier but will also help you lose weight. Healthy food in, results in weight loss, health, and a slim figure out.

“Never say diet” according to the latest Shape Mag. Hmmm… I am always amused by such statements and looking at what Heather Graham eats, I can say without hesitation she does diet, but doesn’t know it. While there may be some extraordinary individuals who can eat whatever they want without gaining weight, for 99.49% of the population this does not hold true. A self described foodie, Heather Graham loves healthy Mexican and Japanese dishes. [Read more →]

Ricki Lake’s remarkable weight loss is making headlines again in this week’s issue of Ok Magazine, to help publicize the premiere of her Lifetime movie, Matters of Life and Dating. If you recall Ricki was profiled on the US magazine front cover a couple months ago. At her heaviest she weighed 260 pounds in 1991, and had been on a slew of diets including South Beach, the Zone, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Atkins and the Master Cleanse. She got serious this time around on February 2 of this year in preparation for the premiere of her documentary, The Business of Being Born, at the Tribecca Film Festival. [Read more →]

Ryan Phillipe is a man with a diet plan. After splitting with Reese Witherspoon, the actor has been losing some lbs with a food delivery service according to Us Weekly mag.

Liza Minelli is reported to have lost 43 lbs on Jenny Craig. I ran across this in the recent issue of People mag but it looks like this is old news since there are reports of her weight loss in January of this year. Liza was also reported to have “thanked” Kirstie Alley for joining Jenny Craig. Call me a little skeptical but this smacks of a carefully orchestrated marketing plan by Jenny Craig to get celebs to endorse these diets. As you know Kirstie is having weight troubles herself and looks to have gained some weight recently. [Read more →]
