Cellulite is the bane of every woman’s existence. While there are ways to minimize its appearance there’s no way to completely prevent it from appearing. Kim and Khloe Kardashian, however, have found a new secret to maintaining their “orange peel” with the Velashape.

Velashape is a non-invasive cellulite treatment that uses radio frequencies and light energy with a laser to zap fat cells, shrinking them and tightening the skin. The procedure combines suction and massage treatments and according to its official website, “the net result increases the metabolism of stored energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces or shrinks the size of the actual fat cells and fat chambers”.

Clinical studies conducted by Velashape have shown that in 85% of treated areas, individuals have shaved between 1cm and 7.2cm off their thighs after only 4 treatments. But the Velashape doesn’t only work on your thighs; the procedure can be done on your butt, love handles and abdomen as well. The device has been cleared by the FDA and is 100% certified.

Snapped by the paparazzi so many times while enjoying a day at the beach, the reality TV sisters have had to defend their weight and womanly curves so many times. Why the media insists on villainizing something that makes women so beautiful is any ones guess. But the pressure certainly is on stars to look flawless.

According to Velashape, “85% of the treated areas have reported Circumferential Reduction of thighs of at least 1cm; ranging up to 7.2cm in reduction.”   Hmmm, 1 cm reduction in thighs would hardly be noticeable…  And since you still have the same number of fat cells any results you do get are temporary.

Reality star Kim Kardashian has unveiled her new, trim body thanks to her hard workout efforts and her diet supplement of choice, Quick Trim.  She has just finished up a photo shoot for the company and she already posted some of her pictures (see above) on her twitter page.  Kim was already fit to begin with but in the photos she looks more cut up, especially in the abdominal region.  She tweeted,

“Quick Trim DOES A BODY GOOD!” Kim tweeted, adding, “Don’t kill me @NickSaglimbeni 4 posting snapshots of our shoot, they aren’t photoshopped yet, but who needs it! Quick Trim baby! Go get it!”

Funny how she mentioned the new photos aren’t photoshopped ‘yet,’ especially considering she already had a photoshop controversy a few months ago when some of her unedited images were leaked on the Internet.

Kim also tweeted that she lost six pounds and toned up, all thanks to Quick Trim.  Quick Trim is a 14-day diet and exercise program which includes a lemonade flavored drink which the makers claim, will ‘rid the body of excess water weight, belly bloating and intestinal bulk.’  Do keep in mind that Quick Trim is not FDA approved so please exercise better judgement before taking this product.

Weight loss with a lemonade flavored drink?  Hmmm… Kim looks great, but it’s her “diet and exercise” program that is getting results…. Can quicktrim give you these results? I think you know the answer to that.

On a daily basis we read about so many celebrities who suddenly lose weight with the help of crazy crash diets and pills. One such celebrity pair is sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian.

They’ve recently launched their new weight-loss aid Quick Trim, but while waiting for FDA approval, the sisters spun an incredible amount of PR around the supplements.

When it comes to losing weight, does FDA approval matter to you?

Sisters, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, have officially released the Quick Trim products and they are now available online as of September 1st. Khloe tweeted,

“Quick Trim comes out today! Buy or die!”

Approximately a  month ago Khloe was featured in Life and Style Magazine after she lost 20 pounds and even though she claimed to lose the weight the healthy way there was still speculation that she was using something else since she dropped the weight so quickly.  She claims to be using the  Quick Trim products and now she and sister Kim Kardashian are making a profit out of it.  Kim wrote on her website,

“Using Quick Trim helped boost my metabolism and jump start my weight loss.”

There is no stopping the Kardashian clan.  Those girls are at every event imaginable, always on the beach, in the gym, shopping and then recording a reality show from time to time.  The list goes on and on.  Over the past couple of years Kim Kardashian has released workout DVDs and has been a spokesperson for various fitness products.  And now that little sister Khloe has lost weight the two or on a mission to release their own diet product called, Quicktrim.  Khloe told US Magazine,

“I eat whatever I want until noon. Then from noon on, I watch what I eat,” says Khloe, who adds that she is also launching a diet product called Quick Trim with Kim. “I only drink champagne. 100 calories in a glass, and I’m good.”

In addition, Kim has been tweeting about their new product even though it has yet to be released.  She wrote,

“Our Quicktrim cleanse will be massive! Khloe has already lost so much weight! I’m so proud of her.”

Considering that in the past Kim has been an advocate for eating right and exercising, offering a quick fix cleanse seems rather contradictory.  Why is it the Kardashian sisters will gladly discuss during an interview their hard work and dedication to fitness but then turn around and come out with a quick cleanse?  Just remember, there is no ‘quick’ way to lose weight and be healthy, it just takes good old fashioned will power and daily jogs around the block.

Summer’s her folks, and celebrities are dishing out their secrets to sexy beach bodies. In the latest issue of Life & Style magazine, Rihanna, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Cameron Diaz were a few of the celebs doing just that.

Rihanna says she plays up her long legs with a little wrap, but also does a little preparation before she spends a day in the sun.

“I like wearing a bikini with a cover-up that’s loose, not too long and a little bit sheer. If I know I’m going on vacation, I’ll do Pilates for two weeks straight.”

And when it comes to choosing a swimsuit, Kim prefers tie bottoms because they allow you to adjust the amount of coverage. But she’s also a fan of working out before hitting the beach.

“I love to put the treadmill on maximum incline and run backward. It’s good to switch it up – run forward for 10 minutes, then backward for 10 minutes. Repeat for 40 minutes total and you’ll really see results in your booty.”

Kim Kardashian and Heidi Pratt are the latest celebrities to release workout DVDs. But which one’s video would you actually try out?

Socialite and reality star, Kim Kardashian is on the cover of the July/August issue of Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine. Over the past year she has gained more respect in the fitness industry as she has produced various workout DVDs and promotes fitness products.  She’s no longer the sexy reality star, instead she’s the sexy fitness guru. At the magazine’s website they did a sneak peak video of Kim’s workout routine to get readers ready and waiting for the upcoming issue. She said,

“I feel like my life has completely changed since then, I workout all the time, fitness is a way of life.  I mean I live in Gunnar Peterson’s gym and I’m a completely different person and that’s why I wanted to do my own fitness DVD is to motivate people the way I’ve been because I fell like I finally got that jump start to make fitness a way of life.”

In the video she did some work with the weighted kettle balls, the weighted tug-of-war ropes and various gym equipment.  She explained that for her body she focuses on lower body workouts:

“I definitely gear towards my lower body, my butt, when I workout because I feel that’s probably the area where I need it the most and the area people are looking at the most and I feel I could use some help in that area.”

Keep it up, Kim.

Other celebrities that train with Gunnar Peterson include Jennifer Lopez and Penelope Cruz.

Kim Kardashian recently told Fox News that sweating is actually sexy and she feels that she is at her best when she is working out because she feels good about herself.  She said,

“I definitely think that just being confident is being sexy so personally when I’m in shape I feel the sexiest,” Kardashian added. “It’s always about me getting in the gym and staying with it and staying motivated. It’s also from within; you should feel sexy when you wake up in the morning. You’ve just got to stick to your workout regime; so many people start and then stop.”

She did however mention that she still has areas where she needs to improve even though now days she has a stellar body.

“I need to start eating better,” Kardashian added. “That’s going to be my new thing.”

In another recent interview with Tarts she said,

“I don’t go on the scale but in my closet I have a whole heap of jeans. I have on one side a whole heap of the skinny ones that I don’t fit into, they’re the ones I could lose a few pounds to get into and I only really had two pairs I would wear over and over all the time.  I now fit into the ones on the other side of the closet I can fit into a little bit better. The ones I’m wearing today I couldn’t fit into at all six months ago.”

One would think we know absolutely everything about Kim Kardashian’s diet and exercise habits.  We know she makes fitness DVDs, we know she embraces her curves, she’s had cellulite removal treatments and the list goes on and on.  Now we get to add another item to that list as she has now joined the ranks of other celebrities such as Kelly Clarkson, Mandy Moore, Jennifer Hudson, Guy Ritchie and Howard Stern who have jumped on Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet bandwagon.  A source told Ok! Magazine,

“Kim buys the Oatmeal Raisin and Chocolate flavor cookies. She likes to use the cookies to control the number of calories she eats. She also uses the Creme Brulee and Chocolate shakes to change the diet up a bit.”

According to Dr. Siegal, a person can eat six cookies a day that are 90 calories each and then eat a sensible dinner between 300 and 800 calories and he/she will lose weight.  This all looks good if you are just crunching the numbers when it comes to daily caloric intake but surely it would get bland or boring eating cookies all day long and one would think you would get a belly ache from all of the sugars and carbohydrates.

Celeb Diet Doctor weigh in…

Kim is all over the map. First it was reported that she kept her weight down with exercise despite a junk food diet. Later she touted a healthier diet of whole foods including quinoa and now she’s back to junk food such as “diet” cookies. Make no mistake processed foods such as “diet” cookies will lead to weight gain. The only thing you’ll lose is money and not lbs.
