Madonna’s Trainer Tells Us How To Lose 20 Pounds In 6 Weeks
Madonna’s trainer, Tracy Anderson has worked out a plan that will allow you to lose 3-5 lbs a week, even though 2lbs a week is the doctor recommended formula. But, she says her method is perfectly healthy and even promises that you’ll keep the weight off.
Tracy gave UsWeekly 3 weeks worth of menus that you can follow strictly or mix and match for days. I did a few calculations and it looks like each menu only adds up to about 500-800 calories a day. No wonder she says you can lose so much every week. Combine those extremely low calorie meals with Tracy’s hardcore workout and you’ll get results like Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with a plan like that for longer than a week, so for me this wouldn’t be a very realistic way to go about slimming down. And although I’m not a doctor, I really don’t think going SO low-cal is all that healthy either. Such an extreme restriction can lead to an eating disorder.

May 1st, 2008 @ 6:59 pm500 calories a day?! How on earth is that considered healthy? Perhaps in very specific cases 500 calories a day would be acceptable but I cannot imagine making a blanket statement saying that’s fine!
May 1st, 2008 @ 7:36 pmThat is the craziest s**t I’ve ever read. On one of the days, she has you eating 1 cup of vanilla nonfat rice milk and 1 poached egg for breakfast, 2 celery stalks with 2-4 tsp of almond butter for lunch, and a grilled chicken breast with 1/2 cup each of cucumber and tomatoes. THAT paltry amount of food is supposed to fuel your body enough to get you through a 2-hour workout???? IS THIS WOMAN ON CRACK?? Because the people who follow her diet sure are!
Last I checked, consuming only 500 cals a day was called starving yourself. I’m truly disgusted and appalled, and I cannot believe Us magazine printed her diet plan.
May 1st, 2008 @ 8:35 pmnow we have confirmation that 90% of hollywood women are technically anorexic…they think they can fool us by saying they lose weight by “eating healthy” when in reality eating healthy means starving yourself. this is a sad little society we’ve created.
May 1st, 2008 @ 9:38 pmThat certainly is extreme, and I doubt it’s truly a healthy plan for most people. But, in a way, it makes me feel better about dropping only a pound or so a week when I’m dieting — there’s no WAY I’m going to go as strict as that diet, so I think I’ll be happy with what I’m doing!
May 1st, 2008 @ 10:05 pmThis IS close to anorexia, which is defined as eating less than 200 cals per day. It is definitely a menu for clinically disordered eating. It was totally irresponsible of the magazine to print this.
May 2nd, 2008 @ 2:16 amYou’ll end up in the hospital doing this. Seriously! Calorie deprivation can cause prolonged health issues, especially in women.
May 2nd, 2008 @ 3:46 ami hope the people who try this pass out and relalize how stupid that was to do.
May 2nd, 2008 @ 6:34 amsome people need to learn by doing.
i think my breakfast is more than 500 calories!
Just think of what that women is getting paid to torture stars! She simply took a reasonable diet, cut out 3/4 of it and is now getting paid big money to watch.
May 2nd, 2008 @ 8:43 ami could never workout with that amount of food. i would pass out.
May 4th, 2008 @ 1:08 pmactually youcan be anorexic on a 1500 calorie diet if you stick to it long enough because thats still a deficiant of 500
