This year Heidi Klum will once again be wearing her heart on her sleeve with Diet Coke and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to promote the national heart health awareness campaign, The Heart Truth. Heidi will also be hitting the runway in the annual charity fashion show, the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show, sponsored by Diet Coke and a popular kickoff to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

“The Heart Truth movement is near and dear to my heart, and I’m honored once again to join Diet Coke as their ambassador for the program,” says the 36-year-old model and mother of four. “This year I want to inspire even more women and their families to make choices that promote stronger, happier and healthier hearts.”

Last year the national campaign reached out and raised awareness of women’s heart disease to nearly 70% of women in the US. That’s quite a big number considering that they only raised awareness among 34% of women during the campaign’s initiation year in 2000.

“One of the tips from NHLBI is to maintain a healthy weight,” says William White, the brand director for Diet Coke North America. “With no calories and great taste, Diet Coke is not only an excellent choice for managing calories, it also provides refreshment and hydration that helps our consumers be their best throughout the day.”

OK, so this video I purely promotional, but I think it’s sooo cute!

Diet Coke = “heart health” = FAIL

Interesting that Coke, whose sugary drinks are responsible for rising rates of heart disease, obesity, cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure, is promoting “heart health.” I guess Diet Coke somehow promotes “heart health” now?

Interesting to note that research suggests that artificial sweeteners, such as those found in “diet” drinks do not lead to weight loss but weight gain. Artificial sweeteners may reset people’s taste conditioning response so that their bodies subconsciously underestimate calories associated with a sweet taste and wind up eating more!

So one of my tips to lose weight is to stay away from Diet Coke and all artificial sweeteners…

David Kirsch is a celebrity fitness guru who has trained with Heidi Klum, Julie Henderson, Karolina Kurkova and Anne Hathaway just to name a few. As he’s an expert on how to get the perfect Victoria’s Secret tush he has written a book, David Kirsch’s Butt Book, which includes easy-to-follow illustrations of exercises that target the rear end. Last week, he appeared on Kathy and Hoda to promote the book for the holiday season. On the show he demonstrated exercises that don’t require weights or fancy equipment. He suggested exercises to do first thing in the morning to get the butt burning such as the sumo squat, the sumo walk, and reverse/side lunges that work the inner and outer thighs.

The aim of David Kirsch’s Butt Book is to give a gal a perky butt by offering exercises that will burn fat, firm muscles and also sculpt the muscle. In addition, he offers specific exercises for your body type; Apple shaped, Pear shaped, Banana and String Bean and there are sections on cardio and nutrition as well. The light hearted book has humorous illustrations but you won’t be laughing while doing these butt burning exercises. Good luck!

As the Victoria’s Secret Angels are getting ready for the big annual fashion show, Heidi Klum is also getting her body back into shape even though she is officially not walking the catwalk. She has announced that she will be hosting the event instead but all the same she wants to look her best. The 36-year-old gave birth in early October and as can be seen in the photo above she’s already looking in tip-top shape. She did however tell US Magazine that being in her late 30s and getting back into shape has been different in comparison to her pregnancy when she was 31 years of age. When asked how she’s losing the weight she responded,

“I don’t exercise too much — I walk. I walk on the treadmill a little bit. I walk on the driveway. I’m very active with the children……But you know when you breast feed, when you eat right, you move around a little bit, that usually does the job.”

Klum did admit that she hopes to lose 20 more pounds and she has a trainer that goes to her house and they do work on the medicine ball. When it comes to eating, Heidi isn’t one to munch on salads and chicken but she allows herself tasty foods like goulash, schnitzel and spaghetti bolognese.

Heidi will need to change her diet if she wants to get back to model form. Exercise alone will not do the trick. The Goulash is great for weight loss, but she needs to say wiedersehen to the schnitzel and spaghetti.

The German supermodel and reality show host Heidi Klum just gave birth last month. It was just a few weeks ago when she said she was going to take it easy and not try to walk the catwalk for the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Lingerie Week. However, sources say she has changed her mind and is determined to be in the show. She has even gone so far as to have celebrity trainer David Kirsch move into her home and put her through some grueling workouts. One source revealed her diet plan:

“Heidi’s swapped processed carbs, sugar, dairy and fruit for egg-white omelets, spinach salads and grilled tuna with quinoa.”

The source goes on to say that in hopes of wowing the audience at the Victoria’s Secret show she is working out twice a day.

Celeb Diet Doc..
I’m sure Heidi will look fabulous….  But she should ditch the processed carbs for good!

Supermodel and reality show host Heidi Klum recently gave birth to daughter Lou. And although it’s well-known that in 2005 she did the Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show less than two months after giving birth to son Henry, she has said for the upcoming November show that she’s just going to take it easy. She told People Magazine,

“I don’t know if I’m going to try to get ready for the show. I’m going to totally play it by ear and see what happens.”

Through out her pregnancy with Lou, the 36-year-old supermodel was following a diet light on the carbohydrates. In 2006 she whipped herself into post-baby shape by working out twice a day with her trainer, David Kirsch. This time around Klum said she’s just going to take it easy since there isn’t much time to workout and see if she’s ready for the show or not. The people at Victoria’s Secret aren’t putting any pressure on her to model for the show so it looks like Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima and the rest of the girls will have to conquer the runway without her.

To promote his new Butt Book, celebrity trainer David Kirsch popped in at the Today show’s studios. He demonstrated to hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb a few of the moves supermodel Heidi Klum uses to keep her derriere in shape.

The beauty about these bootylicious moves is you can do them anytime, anywhere, and you don’t need weights.

Kirsch starts the workout with a simple stretch to loosen your hamstrings and glutes, and then jumps straight into the funny-looking platypus walk – working your inner thighs and lower part of your butt. Kirsch also dishes on Klum’s favourite move: the Sumo lunge.

All in all, it makes for a pretty funny (yet informative) video.

There’s no question that both Anne Hathaway and Heidi Klum are in great shape.  They both have lean arms and lengthened muscles that still look healthy and womanly and not sinewy.  Their fitness trainer David Kirsch has teamed up with MSN.com to give away his secrets on how he gets these two celebrity beauties in shape.  The program is called the Summer Body Shape-Up Series which features weekly online workouts for women to get bikini body ready.  For example, Kirsch explained how to get Hathaway’s great arms:

“We use 3-lb. dumbbells and you can do crossovers, jumping jacks, push-ups. A circuit of all of those and it’s beautiful for toned arms,” Kirsch explains. “Do that circuit repeatedly for three or four sets for 10 minutes a few times a week and you’re good to go.”

Kirsch also has book coming out called Butt Book which will showcase exercises you can do right in front of the television and burn some of the old junk in the trunk.  Other celebrities that have worked with Kirsch include Liv Tyler and Julie Henderson.

Heidi Klum, the gorgeous supermodel for Victoria’s Secret and Project Runway host is now pregnant with her fourth child.  It’s amazing how this woman raises a family, has a major television career and still looks 25 years old.  She recently talked with the Daily Telegraph about dieting and the contestants on her show.

“Dieting doesn’t have to be complicated. Eat healthily You don’t need to starve but you have to learn to look after yourself.”

Heidi explained that the majority of contestants on Project Runway have unhealthy eating habits and she’s actually shocked by what she sees these young girls eating.  Waffles and pancakes were a couple of examples she gave when it comes to their junk food habits.

“I try to explain to them that you have to be fit.  You hardly see any of them eating vegetables or salads, not even an apple.”

We’ve all heard that ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away,’ but if an apple is all it takes to look like Heidi Klum then good-bye Aunt Jemima and hello Granny Smith!

On the heels of the latest Victoria Secret’s Lingere Fashion show in Miami we’re learning that the newest angel Doutzen Kroes has joined the ranks of the Victoria’s top models (Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Selita Ebanks) by going low carb.

The Dutch 23-year-old beauty Kroes, says she normally eats what she wants because she exercises often, but pulled out all the stops to earn her wings by going on a “strict sugar- and carb-free meal plan and spending many extra minutes a day jumping rope.” She adds “for other fashion shows you can be skinny, but for Victoria’s Secret, you need definition.”

Celeb Diet Doc Weigh In…
Be careful about anyone who says they can eat anything they want without gaining weight. Unless you’re an athlete burning a ton of calories a day, or have a metabolic disorder you do have to watch what you eat. And I’m sure Doutzen does pay a lot of attention to what she eats even when she’s not earning her wings…
