Trista Sutter, the former Bachelor and Bachelorette reality TV star, is on a mission to lose her post-baby weight. She recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Max, one month early by C-section due to pregnancy complications. Her pregnancy was a rough one, with Trista not only developing gestational diabetes, but also HELLP syndrome, a serious complication of preeclampsia (hypertension associated with protein in the urine) marked by elevated liver enzymes, low red blood cells and platelets. Both Trista and baby are doing fine now. The 5 foot 2 mom, lost 22 lbs so far and currently wears a size 4 and weighs 116 lbs. Her goal is to drop another 10 and get back in her skinny jeans!

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 →]

Ben Affleck says his strategy to lose weight is working out, avoid late night eating and “”lay off the bread.” That sounds like good advice to me. Bread gets everyone in trouble because it’s high in calories and contains very little water. You should “eat your water” meaning that foods with a high water content will help fill you up on fewer calories. Think veggies and fruits. Additionally, if you eat more refined carbs such as white bread, it will fuel cravings by causing your blood sugar to spike and plummet. That’s why if you’re going to eat bread, whole wheat with its fiber is the way to go. The fiber adds some low cal bulk and helps curb hunger. But bread, whether it’s white or whole grain, has still got a lot of calories, so portion control is always going to be key.

Btw, I also posted on Jennifer Garnier’s diet and workout previously.

Since the birth of her second child Angel, in April of this year, Mel B or better known as scary spice has since lost 40 lbs of her baby weight. And she claims she did it without dieting. Instead she got to work with a trainer less than a week after giving birth. And lately she has been burning up the dance floor on Dancing in with the Stars, putting in 6 hour training days for the past 6 weeks. Mel B says

“I don’t believe in diets, I believe in listening to your body and being consistent. If you want a burger, have one, but balance it out the next day by eating salmon and vegetables.”

“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.

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 →]

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 →]
