How to Diet Like the Stars
Is there any secret as to how the stars diet? Surprisingly, there's no secret.
Demi Moore, Nia Peeples, and Heather Locklear are all popular Hollywood stars, and dieting for them goes pretty much the same way as it goes for us.
There is no one-size-fits-all in dieting.
In other words, how the stars diet depends on what suits their preferences, lifestyle, and body chemistry.
Demi Moore, for instance, eats a lot of protein and cuts back on carbohydrates (probably making her a low-carbohydrates diet advocate), while Nia Peeples on the other hand stays away from all forms of protein.
These stars diet in a way that works for them, and they probably spent some time jumping from one setup to another until they found a diet plan that worked for them.
This is one of the reasons why dieting debates (such as low-fat vs.
low- carbohydrates dieting) have no ends in sight - a diet that works for one person may not work as well with another.
If you're wondering why a particular diet isn't working for you, it's either you're not following faithfully enough - or the diet simply is a bad match for you.
Not all stars are vegetarians.
Dieting like the stars doesn't mean you'll have to swear off all meat and go vegan.
This may have worked for someone with Alicia Silverstone's dedication and character, but let's admit it - not many of us are meant to be vegetarians.
Such a drastic attempt to diet like the stars may actually backfire on you and make you sick, so make sure you're prepared when you decide to pull out all the stops in your own diet.
On a side note, however, if you believe in saving meat-producing animals, then going vegetarian may be worth it.
Aside from getting as slim as Alicia, you'll also get an extra feeling of accomplishment - one that comes from being in harmony with the rest of nature - that doesn't come often in other forms of dieting.
Eating smaller, but more frequent, meals may help.
On the other hand, dieting like the stars can be easier if you look at Jennifer Lopez's style of slimming down.
Aside from doing all those vigorous dance moves on stage, she also manages her eating habits by breaking her intake down into eight mini-meals.
It's been proven that if you eat less, but more often, your body tends to burn more calories.
It's obviously worked for Jennifer, so with a little of the same discipline, you'll start slimming down as well.
Don't forget to exercise.
However, simply eating smaller meals more frequently may not help much if you don't step up your exercise habits.
In fact, dieting like the stars may not even induce weight loss as much as regular exercise would.
Heather Locklear, for instance, loves McDonald's.
How can regularly taking in a Big Mac and Fries count as dieting like the stars? Well, with a vigorous and regular exercise regimen, you can pretty much eat whatever you want.
This is probably the most important part of dieting like the stars - matching your intake with enough physical activity.
All of these stars hit the gym regularly, and they never miss a scheduled workout, no matter how early shooting starts on a particular day.
