How Do Celebrities Maintain Their Figure?
Most of us aspire to have a physique like these celebrities, but somehow, the mind hits a roadblock when searching for the path to celebrity-hood. The secret that goes into making a celebrity physique is actually, not too much of a "secret". The only thing that makes their bodies an enviable entity is their determination and obedience to the experts' opinion. If the expert advises not to eat something, they refrain from eating it till the expert lifts his or her advisory.
Different celebrities have different approaches to maintaining their figure. There is no point in aping the routine of your role model celebrity simply because what is right for that celebrity may or may not be right for your body. So, how should you go about achieving that perfectly toned celebrity figure?
Start with a firm determination to have that kind of physique come what may. Think as if you are a celebrity and need to have that figure till the end of time in order to maintain your face value in the glamour world. Tell yourself first thing in the morning: "I'm no less than a celebrity and I'll achieve that figure come hell or high water!" However, don't start acting like a celebrity in your real life and throw the famous celebrity tantrums, as it may ruin your personal life.
After preparing the body through whatever motivational techniques that work with you, it's time to actually work towards achieving that lissome look. It'd be great if you could land a comprehensive resource book that actually gives you an insight into the secrets of celebrity bodies. This is simply because, obviously, the celebrities are doing something different that makes them a celebrity. And perhaps, the website articles may not be able to give you the in-depth information you are looking for.
However, having said that, there is nothing that replaces a balanced diet and regular physical workout. No celebrity can stick her neck out and say that she does not care what she eats, or she lives a sedentary lifestyle. This is because diet and exercise are universal truths about having a healthy body.
In the end, always remember that they are the celebrities and need to keep looking good constantly, but you don't have any such pressure. So, you have the liberty to occasionally deviate from the diet plan and relish those big Macs!

From cocaine to eating cotton wool balls, how models stay thin
As New York Fashion Week begins today, one model has spoken of the great lengths some models go to in order to achieve the sample-sized figure that they are required to have.
Russian model Kira Dikhtyar told Fox News that "packs of cigarettes, daily colonics, laxatives, Phentermine diet pills, Adderal, prescription drugs that suppress the appetite" are just some of the techniques employed by her colleagues to stave off hunger. "I've heard stories that some modelling agents encourage girls to do speed and cocaine in order to speed up metabolism and eat less. And all kinds of injections are becoming more and more popular, from HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) injections that go with a 500-calorie diet plan to T3 thyroid injections that healthy models inject in an attempt to speed up their thyroid function, which results in a faster metabolism."
HCG injections consist of a hormone which is produced during pregnancy and causes the uterus to be enriched with a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain a growing foetus. As a prescription medication, HCG injections are often used in fertility therapy, however, they have recently received attention for their use as a potential weight loss aid due to their ability to suppress appetite. Health authorities have advised against using them as a method of weight loss due to serious side effects such as gallstones, stroke and blood clots.
The 24-year-old model also claimed that some models resort to eating cotton balls in order to fill their stomachs, before saying that she has only been turned away by one designer - Elie Tahari - for the upcoming New York shows for being too thin.
Dikhtyar's claims come shortly after two major initiatives were put in place to combat such behavior. In January this year the CFDA released guidelines asking NYFW designers to, amongst other things, ask models for I.D., encourage those with eating disorders to seek help and to provide substantial amounts of healthy food backstage. Similarly, Vogue magazine launched 'The Heath Initiative' in June - a pact between 19 of the magazines' international editors to encourage a healthier approach to body image within the industry.

7 Foods You Should Avoid at All Costs
Unfortunately,
there are dozens of foods that are so bad for you that they should be
permanently eliminated from your diet.
In many
cases, the key problem is that these foods contain ingredients that encourage
your body to store fat and stop you from losing weight.
However, it
is not always easy to spot these unhealthy foods just by looking at
them, as clever advertising may be used to make the foods appear innocent.
By removing
the following meals and snacks from your kitchen cupboards,
you will maximize your chances of staying fit and healthy for as long as
possible.
#1 Coleslaw
#1 Coleslaw
Looks can be deceiving when it comes to coleslaw. While it is often served right next to a healthy, green salad, coleslaw itself is anything but good for your body.
Although it provides you with carrot and cabbage, it contains a disproportionate amount of calories per serving, and it is full of fatty mayonnaise.
The average portion of coleslaw will provide you with at least 260 calories, and more than 20g of fat. Some popular brands of coleslaw are even worse.
For example, KFC’s coleslaw contains close to 26g of saturated fat, making it worse than a portion of fries.
#2 Frosting
If you love
to bake, you are probably very familiar with the tubs of delicious frosting
that you can buy from most major stores. While you may be aware that frosting
is not exactly a health food, you probably don’t know just how bad it really
is. In truth, it is so terrible for your body that you should avoid consuming even
small amounts.
Frosting
typically contains trans fats, which are hazardous food additives that
undermine weight loss and promote a range of health problems.
They lower
your cardiovascular health by increasing the level of LDL (i.e. ‘bad’)
cholesterol in your body and decreasing your levels of HDL (i.e. ‘good’)
cholesterol. In addition, they encourage your body to store fat, particularly
around your abdomen.
There is
also some evidence that regular consumption of trans fats is linked to an
increased likelihood of developing type 2
Finally, the amount of sugar in frosting is enough to spike your blood sugar
way past healthy limits, providing you with empty calories that make it
difficult to lose weight or to maintain a healthy figure.No matter how much you might enjoy the taste of frosting, the cons of consuming it clearly outweigh the pros.
#3 Packaged Sandwiches
When you want to eat a sandwich, it is always better to make it yourself, because the sad truth is that the bulk of packaged sandwiches lining the shelves in grocery stores have a surprisingly large amount of calories given their relatively small size.
Indeed, the average sandwich will contain over 400 calories, and many people think that a lunch should contain closer to 200 or 300 calories.
You are also likely to find that these sandwiches contain large amounts of fat and saturated fat, as most of them are stuffed full of mayonnaise or cheese.
Even the sandwiches that are advertised as lighter options for dieters may contain at least 50% of your recommended daily intake of fat.
#4 Tomato sauce for pasta or chili
When you are cooking a pasta dish or making a big pot of chili, it is easier to buy a large jar of tomato sauce from a store than it is to make your own at home in the kitchen.
However, these tomato sauces are often packed full of refined sugars, promoting weight gain and increasing your risk of developing diabetes at some point in your life.
Many people have no idea about this surprising sugar content, as it makes sense to assume that vegetables are the dominant ingredient in tomato sauces.
#5 Soy sauce
Although soy sauce is a classic addition to Chinese meals and vegetable stir fry dishes, you need to think very carefully about whether you really want to put it in your body.
Unlike many of the foods mentioned above, soy sauce does have a low calorie content and it is a source of some healthy vitamins, so it can look utterly harmless at first glance.
However, just one spoonful contains around 900 milligrams of sodium, and so adding it your food is likely to cause water retention, leaving your abdomen feeling watery and uncomfortable.
#6 Multigrain products
It is natural to assume that multigrain breads, pastas and cereals are healthy, as it seems unlikely that they would contain refined grains (which are much less healthy than whole grains). However, the law regarding ingredient descriptions actually allows companies to label their products as ‘multigrain’ foods even when their primary ingredient is refined grains. Refined grains lack nutritional value, and they are strongly correlated with weight gain. When regularly consumed, refined grains also come with a staggering 141% increase in your likelihood of developing the connected disorders that characterize metabolic syndrome (i.e. heart disease and diabetes).
When looking for breads and pastas, your best bet is to choose wholegrain and wholemeal products every time. Multigrain products do not always choose to display their ratio of refined to unrefined grains in a prominent place on the label, so it is smart to err on the side of caution.
#7 Foods containing artificial sweeteners
Although dieters can see cakes, desserts and cookies that contain artificial sweeteners as a wonderful way to enjoy treats while losing weight, the bad news is that these sweeteners seem to cause serious health problems.
Although artificial sweeteners contain no calories, many of them (such as aspartame) seem to impair your body’s ability to detect whether your stomach is full, triggering overeating and stronger cravings that can thwart your attempts to lose weight.
Perhaps even more worryingly, people who consume the greatest amounts of artificial sweetener are two times more likely to suffer from impaired kidney function. This was discovered after scientists completed huge study that lasted over a decade, so the results are credible (though the precise mechanism of action remains mysterious).
