Amanda Peet currently stars in the Hollywood blockbuster movie, 2012. Likewise, she has landed the cover of the December issue of Self Magazine. Looking fit and fabulous she reveals to readers that for her, diet and exercise is all about moderation and she doesn’t obsess over her weight. She said,

“To me staying healthy means doing everything in moderation. Eat a lot of greens, but in moderation. Exercise, but in moderation. Drink wine, but in moderation. Sleep as much as you can. And have people around you who are funny.”

That is great advice that we should all live by, and like they always say, ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’ Although Amanda believes in moderation and a healthy lifestyle she still does respect other stars’ bodies such as Jennifer Aniston and Gisele Bündchen because she wants six-pack abs, a perky rear-end and some cleavage.

Celeb Diet Doc…
Moderation is a good rule to live by except Amanda got it wrong when she said “eat a lot of greens, but in moderation.” You can never eat enough greens. In fact I would recommend you binge on greens and wholesome unprocessed foods. And then eat even more greens. Get my point??

Over the past year singer and High School Musical actress Ashley Tisdale has practically been in hibernation as she works diligently in the recording studio for a hopeful new album. As she’s gearing up to hit the big screen she talked with SELF Magazine about her workouts, favorite music and of course fashion. Even though she sports a thin frame she admits that she’s not like other starts who don’t eat but she does balance that out with plenty of exercise. Three to four times a week she’ll do 30 minute cardio workouts at Equinox gym and she does body-resistance moves with her trainer to keep a feminine physique. She said,

“Working out for me, actually it just, it’s obvious I get very stressed out with everything I do and it just kind of de-stresses it, it releases it.”

In addition, she likes to go to dance classes but sticks to the back row because she’s not too confident in her fancy footwork. As for the diet she doesn’t limit herself from anything but she does watch her carbs. She explained,

“I try to limit the carbs because my trainer always tells me I’ll see results faster if I cut out the bread but I’m such a bread fanatic, the bread basket is my favorite thing for dinner.”

It looks as if embattled pop star, Amy Winehouse, is on her way to her idea of the perfect body. The 26-year-old singer who has had a colorful history with substance abuse is packing on the pounds to achieve a “pin-up” figure.

The sober and clear-headed Amy has recently had breast implants, to give her a perkier chest after her addiction to alcohol and drugs ate away at her body. But now Amy wants to add curves to the rest of her body to go with her new assets, and is eating at least 3 000 calories a day.

“Amy’s like a machine at the moment. She just can’t stop eating. She loves T-bone steaks and fish covered in oily sauces,” a source told BANG Media International. “She has set a target to eat up to 3 000 calories a day while also doing work in the gym.”

But it may seem the “Rehab” star has an addictive personality as she is now just as serious about getting in shape as she was about hitting the bottle a year ago. Amy’s dad recently said that his daughter has installed a gym in her home and spends 3 to 4 hours in it.

Will we see a bigger Amy in future, and will she be addicted to food this time round? Only time will tell…

Taylor Lautner, the hunk-a hunk-a burnin’ love from the Twilight series is a different person since he began his work on the movies a couple of years ago. Over the past year we have chronicled his weight gain and habits such as his workout and milkshake diet. At a press conference in Beverly Hills last Friday she revealed a bit more about his new physique and the challenges he has when it comes to maintaining it. Not only does he workout at the gym five times a week but he also has to maintain a 3,200-calorie a day diet. He said,

“Everybody thinks it was the actual getting in the gym, that was easy. But the eating was pretty hard…Putting something in your mouth every two hours. And I’m busy. I’m downtown L.A going from meeting to meeting, so there’s no time for me to be eating.”

Because Taylor was so busy he had to carry foods with him in a bag that he could eat through out the day. He ate protein-rich foods like beef patties, raw almonds and sweet potatoes. He also made it very clear that he wasn’t walking around eating ice cream all the time.

Well, you can’t feel too sorry for the guy; he’s now an international celebrity and making loads of money, so 3,200 calories a day is a small sacrifice.

Supermodel and actress Veronica Webb is now 44 years of age, but that didn’t stop her from training for the New York City Marathon in only 12 weeks. She decided to run at the last minute in order to raise money for an AIDS service provider, Harlem United. Before training for the marathon she was still doing a lot of physical activity and exercising. She told Self Magazine what her normal workout entails,

“I love kettlebells, yoga and Capoeira.” [Brazilian martial arts]

When it came to training for the marathon she switched to the Jeff Galloway Run-Walk-Run method; a program that takes you through the weeks leading up to the event where you run and walk your way up to the full length of a marathon. As for her diet she considers herself a ‘consistent’ eater but she allows herself one weekend a month to indulge in whatever she likes. When asked about a typical diet she replied,

“I like Greek yogurt for breakfast. I eat two giant salads a day, a broiled meat or fish, and a dark green vegetable at every meal. I ate a lot more potatoes, brown rice, and lentils while I was training.”

We haven’t see Webb on the big screen for quite sometime. Her last film was the 2006, Dirty Laundry, but these days she is a devoted mother of two daughters.

Michaela Conlin plays the role of Angela in the hit series, Bones. She recently spoke with Self Magazine about some of her health and beauty secrets. As for her skin, she thanks her Irish and Chinese background but when it comes to her body she has to watch what she eats and she sweats just like the rest of us. Michaela is practically an exercise queen, she likes to do yoga, dance classes, weight training and she works out with celebrity trainer, Juliette Kaska. She has even recently started taking karate classes too.

Michaela credits her recent diet change to befriending Bones star, Emily Deschanel. Emily introduced her to vegan foods but she does still squeeze in a burger and a mini-Snickers bar from time to time. Because of her long days on the set she will eat many small meals during the day instead of three large ones and whenever she has the munchies she’ll reach for peanut butter and apples.

Celeb Diet Doc…
Remember vegan is not always healthy.. Many vegans eat very unhealthy diets.  The key is avoid processed foods… whether you’re vegan, herbivore, pescitarian.. that is the key to better health and weight loss!

The breakout actress from Love Simple, Patrizia Hernandez is promising to be one brilliant actress. She recently chatted with Self Magazine about her healthy eating habits in order to stay Hollywood fit. As for her workout routine she does a mix of yoga, cardio and strength training. She did admit that while filming she isn’t able to exercise that much but when she has the time, she goes full force. Her favorite exercise is yoga at Yoga To The People, a no-fee studio that only takes donations. She also said that she’ll never do the same workout in a row. She explained,

“For example, I do a lot of cardio, but I’m not in love with it. When I do actually have a running day, I can go through it with full force and actually make it count because I know I’ll have a break before my next full-on cardio session.”

Patrizia doesn’t only keep a balanced workout schedule but she also maintains a balanced diet. Here’s a sample daily menu:
Breakfast: egg white breakfast burrito on a whole wheat wrap
Lunch: Peanut butter sandwich with banana on whole wheat bread
Dinner: Pasta with tomato or oil-based sauce
Something that Patrizia is always sure to do is measure her food so that she keeps her portions in control. She said,

“When you’re hungry, it’s so easy to get caught up and overdo it. A cup might not look like much sometimes, but it’s always enough to get me feeling full.”

Celeb Diet Doc…
Portion control is going to be key with this type of diet. It will be easy to start packing on the pounds if she’s not watching her portions with these food choices.

The beautiful Abigail Spencer is one of the stars from the cast of the popular AMC show, Mad Men. In the current issue of OK! Magazine she gives some effective yet simple diet and exercise tips. She defines herself as a minimalist when it comes to her beauty philosophy and in order to look good on the outside, you’ve got to start with the inside. She explained,

“You can’t just focus it all on the outside. Start with making sure you don’t eat too much junk food, that you’re sleeping and that you’re drinking enough water.”

She went on to say that her exercise and beauty regime includes Pilates, staying out of the sun and taking prenatal vitamins and one teaspoon of cod liver oil a day.

You can see Abigail Spencer alongside Christina Hendricks and January Jones in the current third season of Mad Men, which airs on Sundays at 10pm on AMC.

Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera is releasing her third and latest fragrance, Christina Aguilera By Night. She recently spoke with the Daily Mail about her new perfume and her transformation from teen pop idol to a matronly mom. As a self-confessed junk food fanatic she has no plans on remaining stick thin like other celebrities because she doesn’t like going on strict diets and she has more important things to worry about. However, she does workout so that she can eat what she wants. She explained,

“I make healthy choices when I can, because it’s very important for me to have moments where I can let go, have a great dinner and not care so much about the carbs. I work out five days a week – and I hate working out in the moment, I truly do. But the aftermath is so great, and it helps you feel good – not only physically, but mentally.”

The 28-year-old gave birth to her first child in January of 2008 and she has since become a dedicated mother who’s learning to wake up in the mornings and perfect the balancing act of mothering her child and allowing herself times to be creative and work on her music. Considering that other teen stars like Lindsday Lohan and Britney Spears are such train wrecks you’ve got to admire Christina’s calm, cool and collected style after years of being in the limelight.

NeNe Leakes from the Real Housewives of Atlanta is doing more than just mouthing off at other celebrities’ style and parenting skills these days. She’s working out with a personal trainer and recently told OK! magazine how she dropped 10 pounds in 2 weeks.

The 42-year-old New Yorker hired Tammy Stokes, the West Coast Workout trainer who created the Live Your Healthiest Lifestyle program that focuses on healthy meals and intense workouts.

“My trainer has taught me to eat breakfast,” NeNe told the weekly British magazine. “She said, ‘NeNe, you have to bite something in the morning to get your metabolism going.’ So I’ve learned to do that, and it works.”

For lunch, the reality TV celebrity eats salads with chicken and when she goes out for dinner only orders appetizers because she feels the portions of the main meals these days are way too big. NenNe is however having difficulty cutting out carbohydrates from her meals. Although she does cut back on them, she refuses to give up her potato chips. When it comes to the show and those calorie-laced cocktails the housewives wolf down, NeNe’s decided to practice moderation. She will still have one once a while, but definitely not every day.

The mother-of-one takes walks through her neighborhood carrying weights when Tammy comes over to her house, but when she hits the gym she either takes one of the group classes or focuses on one-on-one training.

“I feel good. To be honest, I like my size. I’m a 10, and I don’t think that’s fat,” she told OK!. “I’m almost 6 feet. If I were a size 4, I would look anorexic, and I don’t want to look like that. It’s more about getting healthy.”
