While Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima goes to disturbing lengths to stay slim, model and alleged Kanye West canoodler Chanel Iman went to similarly disturbing lengths to put on weight to appear in the televised lingerie fashion show. Apparently, Iman gained 15 pounds in order to walk in the show, adding curves to her otherwise stick straight body. She did so on a diet of protein shakes and by incorporating weight lifting into her workout routine. And, she says, the day before the event, “I have a big potluck at my house. All my friends bring over food and we barbecue and party it up!” Well, that’s great and all, but it’s definitely scary that Iman put on 15 pounds and still looks waif thin as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Remember that the next time you look at a model on the runway and think she has the “perfect” body. [Modelinia]

Wow. Adriana Lima has revealed how she preps for the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and it sounds … sucky. Adriana works out with a trainer every day, lifting weights, boxing, and jumping rope — which sounds normal for someone whose body is their livelihood — but beginning three weeks ago, she’s been exercising twice a day in preparation for the show. And that’s not the worst of it: Adriana regularly sees a nutritionist who measures out exactly what she must consume to stay alive but also keep her thin. This tasty diet means nine days before the show, Adriana cuts out solid food entirely and survives off of protein shakes. Twelve hours before the show, she stops consuming liquids. Keep reading »

Jennifer Lawrence Would Rather Be Chubby Than “Look Like A Scarecrow”

Jessica WakemanMay 6, 2011 //

“I don’t really diet or anything. I’m miserable when I’m dieting and I like the way I look. I’m really sick of all these actresses looking like birds… I’d rather look a little chubby on camera and look like a person in real life, than look great onscreen and look like a scarecrow in real life.”

—Jennifer Lawrence in Canada’s Flare magazine on why she doesn’t diet. “Chubby” is the last word I would use to describe Jennifer, though. I love it when starlets have such a self-accepting body image. [E! Online] Keep reading »

Would You Wear Weight Loss Leggings?

Ami AngelowiczFebruary 22, 2011 //

If you are too lazy to eat right and drag your ass to the gym, then you may want to consider a pair of turbocell bulge-busting leggings available at Bliss. For $149, these stylish pants will melt away cellulite when worn eight hours a day for eight weeks. That breaks down to every day at work or every night when you sleep. That’s a lot. But how do these magic leggings work? The three layers of cotton, latex, and spandex micro-massage your thighs while upping your body temperature and circulation. My thighs started shaking just reading the product description. “Please let me be free,” they pleaded. “Don’t put me in those hot pants eight hours a day! I’ll work hard at the gym, I promise!” Well, my thighs have spoken. It’s a no. How about your thighs? Would they accept being stuffed into these leg condoms 24/7? [The Hairpin] Keep reading »

I Lost 10 Pounds By — Well, I’m Not Entirely Sure

Susannah BreslinJuly 20, 2010 //

Every so often, I’ve written a post here and there on The Frisky about wanting to lose weight. Most recently, I wrote about how I have a big butt, and while I may not have found a solution to bring about world peace, I did find skinny jeans that fit. The only reason that I was able to get my lower lady lump into those jeans at all is because I lost about 10 pounds over the last, oh, two months, I’d say. So, how did I do it? Well, I’m not entirely sure. Keep reading »

Quotable: Fergie Pretends French Fries Are “Poison”

Jessica WakemanApril 8, 2010 //

“I’m not going to lie: There are times I play mind tricks on myself, like that the French fries are poison. With desserts, I’ll let myself have just one bite, but I’ll look like a freak when I’m eating it, like when I did Duncan Hines commercials as a kid, just savoring every morsel.”

10 Ways To Get Bikini-Ready (For Us Non-Celebs, That Is)

Erin FlahertyApril 5, 2010 //

It’s that annoying time of year when celebs start “flaunting their bikini bods” and we get sick with envy over the kind of physique a team of personal trainers/dieticians/beauticians/stylists can get you. So fine, we’ll do it the hard way. After the jump, 10 ways you can get it together yourself. Because, let’s face it, no one else is going to do it for you, right? Keep reading »

Metabolic Gym Gives You A Workout Without Moving. Also: We Have A Bridge To Sell You.

Leonora EpsteinMarch 16, 2010 //

Living in France has caused me to be constantly flummoxed by the whole “French Women Don’t Get Fat” situation. They don’t! And even though exercise has become increasingly à la mode, I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen a Parisian woman running by the Seine (sans sports bra, I might add). Perhaps their hidden secret is this: the gym métabolique or “metabolic gym,” a sort of UV pod that you lie still on and magically burn 800-1,000 calories in a half hour. Supposedly, 30 minutes in this thing is equal to an hour and a half of gym time. Uh. Right.

Otherwise, the only other thing I can think of is the power plate machine, which is by no means new, but perhaps now considered chic because Kenzo has designed one. Check it out after the jump. [JalouGallery.com] Keep reading »

Salma Hayek Bottles The Secret To Her Slim Figure

Bianca PosterliMarch 12, 2010 //

By now, it’s no surprise that celebrities will forgo solid foods to prep for red carpet events and awards shows. So between the Blueprint Cleanse and the Master Cleanse, starlets probably OD on certain juice tastes pretty quickly. That’s why, for the past 10 years, Salma Hayek purchased her blends directly from Juice Generation’s Eric Helms and shipped them from New York to Los Angeles, all in the name of juice devotion. But after her second wedding and intense juice diet to prep for the big day, she realized this was not only a good way to shed pounds fast, but a money-making business. So what once was her secret to slimming down is now available for everyone. The Cooler Cleanse comes with five juice flavors: a green juice, a grapefruit mint, a red juice with beets and apples, young coconut water, and nut milk sweetened with dates. So how much will Salma’s cleanse set you back? A mere $58 a day for juice as part of the three-day or five-day cleanse, and $62 a day for the Raw Food Cooler. Um. Yeah. For that price, it had better give you giant knockers too. [New York] Keep reading »

Jenny Craig Ends Ad Campaign After Its “Major Study” Is Called Fake

Jessica WakemanFebruary 8, 2010 //

It’s a weight-loss company smackdown! Score one point for Weight Watchers, which convinced a judge last week to ban Jenny Craig from broadcasting its latest commercial because it contained — how do I put this? — untruths. According to the Weight Watchers lawsuit, Jenny Craig’s latest ad fudges some facts spouted by spokeswoman Valerie Bertinelli. In the banned commercial, Bertinelli walks around a laboratory in a white lab coat, gestures to some nerdy-looking scientists, and says a “major clinical trial … run by some serious lab geeks” found that dieters who used Jenny Craig lost twice as much weight as ones who used Weight Watchers.

In real life, however, that “major clinical trial” doesn’t exist. Keep reading »
