It’s official, Twilight fever has gripped the nation. The cast of the vampire movie series hit the red carpet last week at its premiere, all looking toned, fit, slender, buffed, ripped and lean. While we’ve been reporting on the fitness habits of the main cast (Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz, Alex Meraz, etc), we’ve neglected one in particular, Nikki Reed.

The 21-year-old actress, who plays Rosalie Hale in the films, says her new romance with 27-year-old shipping magnate Paris Latsis is what keeps her fit.

“When you date someone who loves the outdoors, it’s inspiring. I’ve learned from my boyfriend. I’ve taken on his lifestyle,” she told People magazine.

Usually when couples are in the throes of a new romance, blissfully floating through the honeymoon period, they pack on the pounds. All the late-night coffees and desserts, the rich diner dates, snacks at the movies, etc. So we’re really proud of Nikki for adopting Paris’ healthy lifestyle and making a conscious decision to look after herself.

Nikki has even gone so far as to quit smoking, and recently joined a gym. But it’s the outdoors sports such as hiking, windsurfing and water-skiing that she really enjoys – and that help her maintain her toned physique.

The hunkish Taylor Lautner is on the cover of the December issue of Men’s Health Magazine. Inside, he gives a detailed account of how he packed on 30 pounds of pure muscle over the past year. We recently reported that he had to up his daily calorie intake to 3,200 calories a day in order to not lose weight since he was working so hard. In Men’s Health, he also explains that he had to cut back his cardio workouts because he was losing weight. He said,

“I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight.”

His trainer Jordan Yuam also added that anyone can put on muscle just like Taylor. Inexperienced people can actually gain muscle mass more quickly than your typical seasoned body builder because you start out with less muscle mass. What’s surprising is that Taylor said he wants to gain even more weight:

“My character continues to grow, so I’d like to pack on at least a few more lean pounds.”

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.

Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black in the teen-vampire movie Twilight installments, has been getting all kinds of attention over the past few months as he has bulked up to a new size. The media loves reporting on his milkshake diet and how he gained 30 pounds of muscle for his latest transformation in New Moon. Of course girls are drooling over his new ripped physique but Taylor is a tad bashful about his new found fame as a heartthrob.

Over the weekend while at Teen Vogue’s 7th Annual Young Hollywood party in Los Angeles he revealed his embarrassment to Us Magazine. He said,

“It’s actually quite uncomfortable knowing so many people are seeing that! It’s a little bit embarrassing!”

The 17-year-old put in a lot of hard time for his new look and going shirtless in the sequel required him to change both his diet and exercise habits. He said,

“Eating, working out – a lot of stuff.”

We can’t feel too bad for the buff werewolf because us fans are loving it. Surely he’ll get used to the girls chasing him around. New Moon will be in theaters on November 20th.

Fans just can’t get enough of Taylor Lautner and the rest of the Twilight crew.  And as for the media, they can’t seem to get enough of Taylor’s bulking physique.  Over the past few months the tabloids have given us tips on his workout routine, his new self-image and his actual struggles with being buff.  There was one small interview out there that implied Taylor didn’t even like his fit form and wanted to be thin again. But in his latest interview with Entertainment Weekly it’s hard to feel sorry for the guy because he gets to eat milkshakes, yum!  He said,

“My body fat got so low that we actually needed to increase it a little bit,” he says. “My trainer would be like, ‘Go have a huge milk shake just so I can get a thousand calories into your body.’”

It seems that men are the lucky ones when it comes to diet and exercise.  If they train hard they get to eat whatever they want but for women, we train hard and still have to watch our calories.

The wolfy Taylor Lautner gained 30 pounds for the next installment of the teen-vampire movie saga. Taylor, who plays the sugary sweet Jacob Black in Twilight, had to bulk up considerably for New Moon and transform into a ripped badass.

Speaking to Interview magazine, Taylor said:

“As the Twilight fans know, Jacob’s character transforms not only mentally but physically as well, from Twilight to New Moon. As I was filming Twilight, about a year ago, I knew where Jacob’s character was going so the day after I finished filming Twilight, I hit the gym and started putting on some muscle. And it went well. It was a lot of hard work.”

Taylor Lautner, who plays the werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight films, seems to be growing as the series continues to grow.  In the sequel New Moon, he is considerably bigger (see image above) and he plans on bulking up even more for the third film, Eclipse.  Lautner told People Magazine,

“Jacob’s character is continually growing throughout the series, so I got about eight weeks off before I go back again for Eclipse and I’m going to be hitting the gym.”

Once the series is over he plans on getting back down to his normal weight.

“When we’re done with the Twilight films I’ll definitely bulk down and just get lean again because I don’t want to stay big and bulky.”

Here’s what co-star Ashley Greene had to say about Lautner’s weight gain:

“It’s insane!  I was going through my phone and looking at all the pictures, and there’s one from the wrap party that we did here after the first one and it’s incredible. I was like, ‘Taylor, did you see this?’ He was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ He gained 30 lbs. He’s not a little kid anymore.”

New Moon hits theaters in November of 2009.
