Lisa Marie Presley Craves Fruit

Now that the true cause of Lisa Marie Presley’s weight gain is revealed,(she’s pregnant), the star is more than happy to talk about her dietary habits. Lisa Marie, who is expecting her third child later this fall, is definitely dealing with prego cravings.

“Fruit — it’s boring but that’s what I want,” Presley tells OK!. “Any fruit: fruit smoothie, fruit juice — it’s good!” - OKMagazine

I’m sorry, but as an 8 month pregnant woman, I’m so sick of hearing all these celebrities craving healthy food. Halle Berry craved sushi, Jessica Alba craves lemons, and now Lisa Marie is craving fruit!!! Whatever happened to good old fashion chocolate and ice cream!

This princess of rock and roll also spoke of her husband’s weight gain:

Lisa Marie says, “He has all my symptoms. He feels like his belly is getting big, and he has the same appetite I have. He’s having reflux and was nauseous the other day. It’s funny.” - OKMagazine

Unfortunately for me, my husband is eating super healthy because of his cholesterol. So as I get bigger, he gets smaller - GREAT!

Katherine Heigl Shapes Up

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 at 3:00 pm

Katherine Heigl is such a cute little FitCeleb. Don’t you agree? I don’t watch “Grey’s Anatomy“, but she definitely made a name for herself, and she seems like such a positive influence amid all the Hollywood drama. Being the big star that she is, Katherine saw some unflattering photos of herself and says she was motivated to shape up. She hired one of Hollywood’s hottest trainers, Harley Pasternak, author of the 5-Factor Diet. With his help, Katherine began circuit training and focusing her diet on fish and veggies.

“I understand what it is I am trying to sell and what it is I want people to buy. I’m never going to be a size two (U.K. size six) but I do try to maintain a certain look that appeals.

“[Hollywood] went from uber-thin and then that was wrong, then it went to curvy, and then that was wrong. It’s like, ‘God, what do you want?’ I can’t reform myself every time the trends change.”

And the star, who was forced to lose weight for her breakthrough movie Knocked Up, finds it strange how Hollywood can’t except her just the way she is. 

“I always thought I was normal. And I was normal, but just not in Hollywood.”

I look at unflattering photos of myself all the time, and I don’t get that motivated!

Carnie Wilson Opens Up About Her Battle Against The Scale

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 at 2:00 pm

CarnieWilsonOKinterviewhat

Back in 1999 Carnie shared her gastric bypass surgery online, which literally cut 150 lbs. off her 300-lb. figure. Since then, the singer has yo-yo-ed up and down. Most recently, the soon to be 40 year-old is weighing in at 208 lbs. and wears a size 16. Carnie had the courage to open up to OK magazine regarding her weight:

“Everyone can see that I’m bigger, but I cannot hibernate,” she tells OK!. “I’ve never lied or been dishonest about what’s going on in my life. Even all these years later, having had such a great weight-loss story, being back in this place is so familiar. And it hurts. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. It doesn’t feel good when you have to struggle to get your pants on.” - OK magazine

Apparently, the root cause of this stars weight gain is snacking and personal neglect. After the birth of her daughter, Carnie turned all her focus on her little girl, leaving zero attention to her weight or diet.

“I had anxiety, started snacking and gained it all back and more,” she says. “I have a weakness when it comes to snacking. For me, it’s a tortilla with cheese, popcorn and graham crackers, all in one night.” - OK magazine

However, Carnie hasn’t thrown in the towel just yet, she is determined to get her weight back on track and then get pregnant:

“I’d like to lose 45 to 50 pounds and then try to get pregnant again. I know I will do it! I don’t consider myself a failure. I just got off track.” - OK magazine

Post A Comment: Can any of you readers relate to Carnie’s struggle against the scale? If so, please share your experiences with us.

What Is Probiotics?

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

 dairy products

You may have noticed the recent appearance of yogurt packages saying they contain probiotics that can help digestion or improve the functioning of the immune system.  You may have also heard about a lawsuit filed in January saying Dannon’s probiotics advertising is making false claims. 

According to Gary Huffnagle, professor of microbiology/immunology at the University of Michigan Medical School said:  

Probiotics are live Microorganisms that when ingested can confer a health benefit.  There is also a population of probiotic bacteria that naturally lives inside us.  You can make the numbers of these go up or down by the food you eat. 

Should people care about these bacteria?

There are 100 trillion bacteria inside us.  This collection of microbes has very important impact on our digestion, on how our GI tract works, our metabolism and how our immune system works. 

Probiotics have become a big deal because the most widespread are the ones being marked by Dannon.  DanActive contacts a probiotic that has been shown in a clinical trials to improve immune function in some people.

Dairy is the main source.  Besides yogurt, you can find them in cheese and kefir.  You can also find probiotic bacteria in sauerkraut, kimchi and pickles.  One of the downsidesof modern society is you can make these products without bacteria. 

If you are immuno-compromised or if you are very ill, like hospital ill.  Then you need to be careful.

Kim Kardashian Considers Insuring Her Butt

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 at 12:00 pm

You have to love Hollywood, a town where gorgeous but completely talentless socialites get even richer because of hit reality shows. At a recent Hollywood launch for Season two of the reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian fielded questions regarding her body.

During the inquisition, Kim told reporters that she hasn’t had butt implants and said she may look into getting her booty insured. She told Us Magazine that all the attention to her backside is:

“flattering and I mean, the comparison to Jennifer Lopez … she’s my idol!” -Us Magazine

Now I know the FitCeleb jury is still out on Kim’s body - some of you gals love it and some hate it - but you sure have to give this girl credit for knowing how to market it. Kim has recently teamed up with celebrity fitness trainer, Kathy Kaehler and just created her own exercise video, The Kim Kardashian Workout for Your Mind, Body and Spirit. Although the credibility of the fitness portion of the video is questionable, the way Kim contorts her body for squats, stretches, and bend overs - offers much entertainment!
