signalsCelebrity Diets - Whose Is Best?
March 20th 2007 01:48
Tonight I was reading a segment on the AOL diet page that showed the diets of various high-profile celebrities such as Beyonce, Oprah, Jessica Alba, and J-Lo. Each has a different diet strategy to stay slim.
Honestly what caught my eye was the tag line in my email about J-Lo "going low carb." But apparently she only eats low carb when she needs to drop some weight. That's ridiculous to me because it's commonly known that if you go off Atkins and eat carbs again, you will put weight back on. Her maintanence plan? Eating in moderation.
I have never thought much of Oprah's weight zig-zags one way or the other - I just don't pay much attention to the latest "Oprah says such-and-such helped her lose weight" nonsense. If she keeps putting the weight back on, are we really supposed to listen to her?
However I believe she's been in maintenance for awhile and is doing Bob Greene's diet similar to what they eat on The Biggest Loser - no refined carbs, sugar or alcohol, veggies, fruits and lean protein.
Beyonce's Master Cleanse diet has been very publicized and popular for awhile. How anyone could call some concoction of cayenne pepper, maple syrup and whatever else is in that drink a "diet" is beyond me. Hey, there are more enjoyable ways to lose weight!
Finally Jessica Alba. Her diet is what AOL called the "Supermarket Diet" for reasons I'm not aware of. It's similar to Bob Greene's "Best Life" diet in that it includes fish, chicken, and veggies and not much in the way of bread or dessert.
It's clear that celebrities will always find a way to stay thin - but quick fixes like Beyonce's cleanse and J-Lo's Atkins-until-I-lose-the-weight are not helping show America how to pick a diet that works and stick with it.
Have you tried any of these diets? Let me know in the comments!
