Jenny McCarthy has hit all the talk shows just in time this week to not only tout her new Christmas movie but also a new interactive workout game by Nintendo Wii. The Your Shape game acts as a virtual coach that contains a comprehensive 400 exercises. And here’s what’s really cool.  There’s a motion tracking webcam so on the split screen you see how your body is doing the exercise in comparison to how Jenny McCarthy’s digital image does the exercise. While interviewing on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien she said,

“The camera actually scans your body and your on the television with the trainer and it can tell if your arms are wrong or if you’re not doing it up to speed and it will say, ‘Hey catch up, watch your arms’ So it does monitor what you’re doing so it’s kind of remarkable.”

McCarthy mentioned that she particularly likes it because she easily gets bored doing exercises feeling like a ‘hamster on a treadmill’ but she likes the 400 exercises available on Your Shape. In addition you can set the game to your own personal needs so if you’re trying to get into a special dress for that next high school reunion you can program the time period and body target areas and Your Shape will tell you what you need to do.

The bloggers at OK Magazine caught up with Jenny McCarthy as she was doing work this past week for the Weight Watchers program, Lose For Good.  After losing the 60 pounds she gained from her pregnancy and then having a child diagnosed with autism she changed her diet; she is now well known for not eating wheat, dairy and sugar but she doesn’t deprive herself 100% of the time.  She explained,

“I don’t want to say ‘never eat never.’ I do go home and visit my mom and have some pizza. But on an everyday basis, I don’t eat wheat, dairy or sugar.”

She went on to give an example of a daily menu.

Breakfast: fruit

Lunch: Salad with walnuts and possibly with turkey or chicken

Dinner: Grains with fish or turkey

Snack: Watermelon

She said that being on Weight Watchers taught her how to control her portions and to this day she will still count the points in her head because she has them memorized.  In addition, instead of filling up on potato chips like she used to she now fills up on fruits and veggies.  She said,

“I maintain this 125 lb. frame by watching my food. I know my points that go with my food from Weight Watchers now by heart. I just make sure I don’t go over that limit in a day.”

Jenny McCarthy visited the Today Show this week and had a quick chat with Hoda and Kathie Lee and revealed that Jenny is on this cover of Weight Watchers magazine.  Seven years ago Jenny weighed over 200 pounds after the birth of her son but she lost the weight with Weight Watchers and she is now one of their ambassadors.  When Hoda asked her about her weight Jenny responded,

“Well, I’m normal I would call it, for LA,” she said, “5′6,” 125 pounds.”

Hoda then revealed that she is 5′9 and weighs 145 pounds and McCarthy responded,

“You should be proud! That’s a good weight!”

Kathie Lee grinned and didn’t reveal her weight on national television, but she does look great so who knows why she was so shy?  Later in the interview Jenny explained the current work she’s doing for Weight Watchers and the Lose for Good campaign. During the campaign Weight Watchers members donate a pound of food for each pound they lose and the food goes to feed the hungry.  Last year, Weight Watchers corporation donated a million dollars.

Jenny McCarthy caught up with US magazine and gave some diet tips and techniques to their readers.  After the 36-year-old gave birth approximately six years ago she had 60 pounds she needed to drop so she joined her local Weight Watchers group.  That was back in 2002, and now because of her success with the program she is an ambassador for the Weight Watchers’ Lose for Good Campaign, a program that helps people lose weight and raises money to fight hunger.

The petite Jenny McCarthy is 5-foot-7 and weighs 125 pounds, and she told the magazine that the secret to being so slim is to have a healthy lifestyle. She does Bikram yoga twice a week and goes out for a 45-minute jog twice a week. She said,

“Working out tightens you up and helps burn calories, but what you put in your mouth makes all the difference.”

Apart from exercising Jenny is sure to eat healthy, especially after she discovered she has 60 food allergies so now she maintains a diet that is free of wheat, dairy and sugar but eats plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.  Her boyfriend Jim Carrey is also off of wheat and dairy so the two of them have embraced gardening.  She said,

“We just planted our own organic garden in the backyard, and we love it!”

Currently, Jenny has a blog on health at Oprah Winfrey’s website and may have her own talk show coming out soon thanks to Oprah.

Jenny McCarthy has done it all, she was Playboy Playmate of the Year back in 1994, did some work on MTV and she’s even published a book on caring for children with autism.  Now, considered to be one of the more solid-minded women in Hollywood, Jenny McCarthy was interviewed by Shape Magazine and divulged on how she has come to be who she is today.  She said,

“In 2002, when my son, Evan, was born, I dialed back that whole sex-kitten thing. And then when I went public about his autism, I gained credibility as a passionate mom.”

In the May 2009 issue of Shape, Jenny reveals her detox dos and donts as well as a fifteen-minute yoga sculpting workout that Jenny swears is an incredible strength and stretch plan.  In regard to dieting,  Jenny opened up about how she lost the weight after having her son in 2002 when she weighed 211 pounds.  She decided to turn to Weight Watchers, she said,

“They taught me portion control and to be conscious of what I put in my mouth.”

However, in 2003 when her son was diagnosed with autism, she did her research and shifted the family eating habits to a gluten and dairy free diet.  This improved her son’s symptoms and also added to her weight loss.  Now, a typical day consists of an egg white omelet for breakfast, fresh fruit and vegetables and plenty of fish for lunch and dinner.

After losing 60 pounds of postpartum weight in 6 months on Weight Watchers, Jenny McCarthy signed on as their spokeswoman celeb in 2006. Currently dating funny-man Jim Carrey, she has continued to maintain the weight loss and is now a Weight Watchers “lifer” she tells US weekly. Not a fan of working out, although she does sporadic jogging and Tae-Bo, Jenny says “it’s what you put in your mouth that keeps your jeans fitting.”

Weight Watchers is essentially a calorie counting plan based on their proprietary points system. Like any standard calorie counting plan, you can basically eat anything as long as you stay within your alloted daily points. While Weight Watcher points are calculated from calories, fat and fiber ( the higher the calories and fat the more points, the higher the fiber the less points), the biggest factor in determining a points value for a food is far and away calories.

Jenny McCarthy’s Diet Plan
According to US weekly, a sample menu from her daily diet is: Watermelon for breakfast, Tuna salad for lunch and a 3 ounce steak for dinner.
