Katie Holmes Diet Secrets

November 29, 2009

When asked about working out and looking good, Katie Holmes says, “I try. I grew up in an environment full of athletes and unfortunately I wasn’t one of them. My parents are very healthy. We go running on Thanksgiving – I mean, what family does that? It has to be before the big turkey dinner. My dad is really ambitious and makes us all go. Exercise is definitely important, but the long hours sometimes prevent me from being a good girl and getting my cardio workout.”

Pamela Anderson Diet Secrets

November 29, 2009

Pamela Anderson is a very strict vegetarian who does not eat red meat, chicken, pork, fish or seafood. Pamela became a vegetarian in her early teens, after walking into a shed in her backyard and seeing her father cut the head off a deer he had just hunted and killed. She has been a PETA member and ardent supporter of animal rights since high school.
After learning that KFC’s chickens have their beaks seared off with hot blades and that they are sometimes scalded alive in slaughterhouses, Pam penned a letter to priszm brandz, KFC’s parent company in her homeland of Canada, demanding that the company eliminate the worst abuses of chickens at the factory farms and slaughterhouses that supply KFC’s restaurants internationally. More than a year and a half later, priszm’s CEO John Bitove finally replied, with a sleazy, insulting letter filled with KFC’s usual lies and half-truths. Pam fired back with a letter of her own, pointing out that she won’t be satisfied until KFC agrees to adopt PETA’s recommended animal welfare program.

When Pam heard that NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt Jr. was driving a new car sponsored by KFC, she wrote to Earnhardt, asking him to use his clout with the company to push for controlled-atmosphere killing of chickens, which she describes in her letter as “a painless process that puts chickens to sleep and is a huge improvement over the current method of hanging the birds up by their broken legs, slitting their throats, and often scalding them while still fully conscious and able to feel pain.”

Pam has also lent her famous face to PETA’s efforts by appearing in a high-profile billboard campaign. The billboard, which will be running throughout the U.S. and around the world, calls on consumers to boycott KFC until the company agrees to make the much-needed animal welfare improvements that PETA has recommended. Pamela has also narrated a video illustrating just how horribly KFC treats chickens, which PETA is running as a 30-second commercial on TV and radio stations across the country.

Pamela also has a few tricks to help her stay on her strict diet. She chews sugar-free gum while she’s cooking for friends to stop her picking at the ingredients.

Madonna Diet Secrets

November 29, 2009

Madonna has always been in good shape but over the past few years she’s become a total fitness guru! Madonna has adopted a strict routine of Ashtanga Yoga, which keeps her in shape from head to toe. She also follows a strict healthy diet and barely touches junk food.

Guided by a personal health and diet coach, the trim and toned star eats an organic whole food diet, rich in lean proteins which comprises most of her macrobiotic diet. She doesn’t shy away from the occasional indulgence, however, saying that, thanks to the influence of her English husband, she enjoys the occasional ale in the local pub. In the past especially when she was on tour, she would exercise (run and do weights) a lot, but now she says that she doesn’t do this. When asked about eating out, Madonna said, “I don’t really eat food in restaurants – you can never be sure what’s in it, can you?”.

The macrobiotic diet is a new way of life based on the centuries old practice of listening to your inner compass when you eat. This is a contemporary guide to healthful living that offers a fresh twist on an age-old philosophy. It is based on a diet filled with whole grains, beans, vegetables, and some meats and fish.

Guide to Macrobiotic Diet:

  • Introduce Whole Grains (daily if possible)
  • Use plant-based proteins over animal-based proteins
  • Indulge in natural sweeteners (rice syrup, barley malt, maple syrup)
  • Re-think dairy food
  • Be patient with yourself
