The forever thin Victoria Beckham whose reputation and stardom is half-built on her skinny frame has recently made a name for herself in the fashion industry with her new clothing line. Her line features slim clothing with straight lines, fitted cuts and women with saddle bags need not apply. While co-hosting on The View this week she talked about her opinions on models and fashion and how she has every right to use thin models for her fashion line if she wants to. But she was quick to mention that no girl should be discriminated against be it a naturally thin girl or a chubby girl. She said,

“Most of these girls are naturally thin. And I don’t think we should be discriminating against someone because they are too thin or too curvy or too large or whatever it is.”

Victoria also explained that she has signed up for a campaign sponsored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) which calls for more responsibility in the fashion industry. The campaign, Health is Beauty, hopes to encourage designers to use models from a variety of backgrounds and sizes. Victoria said,

“The CFDA have reached out to designers, stylists and casting directors not to work with underage models, girls that are too thin and to be more ethnically aware.”

It’s surprising we haven’t heard more of the CFDA over the past year since there have been so many scandals in the modeling industry such as the Ralph Lauren incident as well as gaining popularity in the plus-size model market. It’s good to know they are finally stepping up to the plate.

Ok, so we’re a little worried about our weight over the festive season, what with the canapés, champagne, eggnog and turkey stuffing about to be our stable over the next few days. Maybe we should all take weight maintenance advice from Victoria Beckham? Or maybe not…

The former Spice Girl has decided that she will be joining her family, soccer husband David and her three sons, at the Christmas lunch table, but she’ll only be taking three bites of everything. The singer-model-fashion designer wants to enjoy the holidays with the rest of the men in her family, but she doesn’t want to sacrifice her size zero body, which is why she’s devised her new eating plan.

“Victoria is regimental about her food,” a source close to the family to Closer magazine. “There is barely a day when she isn’t controlling and counting calories. But she knows it would be pushing it too far to request steamed turkey or sea bass and vegetables at Christmas dinner.”

The 35-year-old rake has given in to her family’s request for a traditional lunch, but the thought of eating more than three bites of everything on the table (whether it’s turkey, smoked salmon or mince pies) gives her a panic attack.

“Victoria said she was thinking of having a Power Plate machine delivered to her home,” the source continued, “and joked she would be doing squats on it during the queen’s speech to burn off calories before the meal.”

Celeb Diet Doc…
I know Victoria Beckham gets a lot of flack for her extreme diet habits but I find this one quite ingenious. This is a great portion control idea when you’re at a party or some social gathering where you can easily get calorie overload. This way you can have your cake and eat it too, just remember it’s  three bites and you’re out!

We’ve reported on how she exercises, what she eats and the tabloid headlines she’s been making with her extremely skinny frame. But do you know what Victoria Beckham drinks? Zero calories, that’s what. The former Spice Girl loves Hint, naturally flavored water that contains no calories.

On the official website, CEO and founder Kara Goldin says, “The idea behind Hint is simple: pure water, nature’s original refreshment, accented with a hint of natural flavor. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners: Hint is a refreshing alternative to sodas, juice and other sweetened drinks and it tastes great.”

Featured in Men’s Health, Us, Runner’s World and Prevention magazines, the fruit and vegetable infused water contain no preservatives and is one of the healthiest alternatives other flavored waters and comes in 10 flavors including pear, blackberry, watermelon, lime and mango-grapefruit.

Other celebrities who are also turning to the naturally flavored water include Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Lauren Conrad.

Victoria Beckham, the ex-Spice Girl and wife to David Beckham recently interviewed with Allure Magazine for the December issue and revealed some of her diet and health secrets. Even though she is often criticized for being too thin her quote about hamburgers in this interview is classic by mocking celebrities who claim to pig out. When asked if she prefers salad or fries she said she eats the salad,

“I’m not going to lie — I’m not one of those people that says, ‘Oh, I eat hamburgers.’”

Her humor is even more appreciated when she admits she has to do some hard core exercise to stay in shape. She said,

“I eat salad. And I start off every day with a double espresso. The I get on the running machine and I run like a bat out of hell.”

Normally Posh Spice can appear to be snobbish and fake but this particular interview with Allure magazine shows that she’s a real person just like the rest of us.

Have you seen Victoria Beckham’s latest Emporio Armani ads? It’s been reported that the former Spice Girl went to gym seven days a week to prepare for the shoot with her soccer-hottie husband David Beckham.

The 35-year-old told Harper’s Bazaar in December that she didn’t want to rely on retouching like so many other advertising campaigns.

“I wanted to look at those pictures in 20 years’ time and say ‘Wow, look – after three kids – I didn’t look bad,” she was quoted as saying in Us magazine.

After the barrage of negative comments Victoria Beckham fell victim to after her appearance at London Fashion Week, the former Spice Girl has fired back. While at the fashion show last week she looked deathly ill and thin, but Victoria has had enough of people saying that she has an eating disorder, is weight obsessed, too skinny, etc..  She told the Daily Mail,

“I am fine – happy and healthy.  It’s irresponsible when people obsess about my shape and size.”

She also said that she realizes she is a role model for young women and girls and that she doesn’t like how the tabloids claim she doesn’t eat or that she is unhealthy because those girls see it as truth.

Lastly, the 35-year-old claimed to have a healthy diet, healthy lifestyle and loads of energy in order to take care of her three energetic kids and at the same time travel around the world and manage her fashion business.

Victoria Beckham’s diminishing frame reportedly drew gasps when she arrived in America to begin her stint as a guest judge on the reality TV contest American Idol.

Monica Grenfell, Posh Spice’s nutritionist, has reportedly revealed that on a recent 11-hour flight, she refused to eat.

“She’s very Audrey Hepburn looking, slim and neat. She’s strict with herself,” Grenfell said. “When she goes on business lunches she’ll choose white fish and she’ll often pick at things rather than have big sit down meals.”

But is Posh taking her diet too far? The 35-year-old’s tiny size has sparked health concerns across America when she greeted fans outside the Idols studios. Is she too thin?

Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, is a member of the ultra-exclusive Sports Club LA in Beverly Hills where she works out six days a week.  A source from the gym told the Daily Mail about what entails a typical workout for Victoria.  The source said that she runs approximately eight miles on the treadmill, and has also done pilates and spinning.  The source quoted,

“Posh is in great shape and says she has never felt better. She’s naturally thin but says she is eating more now because the workouts have fired up her metabolism. She’s become a real gym bunny and says if she misses a session she can feel it.”

In a recent interview, Victoria was quoted saying,

“I feel energised and healthy. I get up in the morning, drop the kids off at school and then go to the gym. It helps me think properly for the rest of the day.  David puts music into my iPod for me, so I listen to that while I work out, and Gordon Ramsay bought me trainers that have a little chip allowing you to clock how far you’re running.”

Other stars that train at Sports Club LA are Jessica Alba, Heidi Klum and Justin Timberlake.
