Skinny VS Curvy

At high request, a weight loss story on British socialite Peaches Geldof (22), who managed to lose a significant amount of weight since last year (see pictures above and below). The Sun reports that Peaches is doing a ‘gross’ juice diet because she sometimes ‘feels fat’ and pressured by fashion magazines – here’s the full story:

It was feared that the OMG! With Peaches Geldof host’s new tiny frame may have been down to drug use after she was photographed in September with dark bruises close to veins on her left arm. But Peaches – whose mum Paula Yates died of a heroin overdose in 2000 – has now claimed that her weight loss is down to a fad diet which consists of just liquefied vegetables. Peaches has told how she can drop ten pounds on the dangerous slimming plan.

She said: “I do juicing. You juice vegetables and then you drink it three times a day. It’s gross. I do it usually for about a month. I have no willpower but with the juicing I’m like, ‘I have to do it because I have to lose this extra ten pounds. I will lose it then I’m back going mental for the chips. I’ll juice and then I eat chips.”

Peaches was estimated to have lost one-and-a-half stone between March and July this year, slimming from 10st to just 8 1/2st. But in August she reassured worried fans by tweeting: “To those telling me I look skinny and to eat something, I can assure you I’ve just cut out eating crap. I still eat like a horse.”

However, Peaches, who is often pictured in celebrity magazines, has now said that she felt pressured by fashion mags to be thin. She said: “Sometimes it’s hard. If you open any high-fashion magazine, the girls in it are stick-thin and then they’ve been airbrushed down to the point where it’s just ludicrousness. I have days when I wake up and think, ‘I’m so fat.’ ”

Lindsay Lohan’s little sister Ali is on the body gossip radar these days – the reason? Her shrinking figure, as seen in 2 recent batches of pictures that show off her super skinny look. Here’s what Radar has to say about her new body:

“She looks like a death camp survivor,” nutritionist Majid Ali (who has not treated the star) told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. “It appears as if she is wasting away as her body chews up muscle looking for fuel.”

At 5’8 1/2″, Majid thinks that Ali is severely malnourished and estimates her weight to be 90 lbs at the most.

“It seems more like a starvation diet than binging and purging,” he explained.

The younger Lohan turns 18 on December 22, but her gaunt face, sunken cheeks and ashy complexion make her look much older than her years.

“Malnutrition will prematurely age her,” the nutritionist revealed. “It tears down tissue collagen and leads to wrinkles, poor skin, limp hair and bad nail quality.”

Back in 2009, Ali looked like this:

‘You go through a period in your pregnancy of feeling fat. But I’ve been exercising and eating what I want in moderation.

‘I have the same insecurities about my body that every girl has. I got pretty skinny when I was between 17 and 19.

‘I regret it because I don’t think I was happy then.’

… says Hilary.

Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts has claimed in the past that she is naturally very thin – today, she brings further arguments. From Female First:

“I do have to be conscious about the things I eat. I make sure I’m constantly eating because it’s really hard for me to put weight on. My mum’s the same. She’s stick-thin. If that’s your shape, then that’s the way it is. I could understand if there was a problem and I was trying to be really, really skinny, because then I wouldn’t be a good role model. But when you are naturally that size, what can I do? People find it easier to call someone really skinny, than they do calling people overweight. But it’s just as offensive!”

“I’m naturally small, it’s my frame! I can’t walk around in baggy jumpers to stop people saying I look skinny, otherwise I’d have s**t clothes! I wanna wear a skin-tight dress!”

Mike and Molly star Melissa McCarthy brings us some interesting thoughts – from People:

On body image

“I have a four and a half year-old and a 19 month, and I want them to be confident, strong, happy, healthy women and define themselves by their actions and what they do, and how they treat other people.

I’ve been up and down. I’ve been much thinner since my second baby. I’m still working on it. It’s a work in progress.”

“I hope I wake up at, like, 94 pounds. But I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

“There’s so many other things to worry about. I still worry about it, but I think, my kids are healthy, I’ve got a great husband, and I go to work every day and do what I want.”

… says Melissa.
